Do fields show up when people purchase through the Shop app with Magical Fields?

Kyle Godon·Published · Last updated help

Fields created with Magical Order Form Fields are only supported on the Shopify Online Store. Customers need to use the regular “Add to Cart” button to enter their information. If you have dynamic buy buttons (like Shop Pay) on your product pages, these need to be disabled for the fields to work. Shop Pay and other accelerated checkout buttons can still be used at checkout, but not on the product page itself.

Express checkout bypasses required fields

If you use required product page fields (personalization, terms checkbox, age verification, file upload), consider disabling dynamic checkout buttons (Apple Pay, Shop Pay, Google Pay) on products where those fields are mandatory. Customers using express checkout skip the product page entirely and go straight to checkout — they never see your required fields, so they can complete a purchase without providing the data you need. This is a platform limitation, not an app bug. In Shopify, you can disable dynamic checkout buttons per product or globally in your theme settings to ensure customers always pass through the product page and complete required fields.

Paid fields require published products

Paid fields (embroidery +$X, gift wrapping +$Y, rush fees) create hidden products behind the scenes. These products must be set to "Active" and available on your Online Store sales channel — they can be "Unlisted" so they don't appear in collections or search, but they must be published. If the paid add-on price doesn't show in the cart or the option doesn't work, this is almost always the cause. Check your Shopify admin: Products → find the generated add-on products → ensure Status is Active and the Online Store sales channel is enabled. This is the #1 setup mistake with paid fields.
