To collect customer information such as age, weight, and height when adding items to the cart in Webflow Ecommerce, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a custom add to cart button: Start by adding a custom add to cart button to your product template. This will allow you to trigger the collection of customer information when the button is clicked.

  2. Add form fields: Within the product template, add form fields for collecting the customer information you need, such as age, weight, and height. You can use Webflow's Form element to create these fields.

  3. Bind form fields to the cart: Using Webflow's CMS functionality, bind the form fields to the Add to Cart button so that the entered customer information gets associated with the specific product being added.

  4. Customize the add to cart function: In order to capture the customer information when the Add to Cart button is clicked, you'll need to add custom JavaScript code. This code will be responsible for grabbing the values from the form fields and sending them along with the product information to the cart.

  5. Integrate with a third-party tool or service: Once you have the customer information captured, you can integrate with a third-party tool or service to process and store this information. For example, you could use Zapier to send the data to a Google Sheet or a CRM system.

By following these steps, you can extend the default functionality of Webflow Ecommerce and collect additional customer information when adding items to the cart.
