Customize Custom Fields

• Full name
• First name
• Last name
• Email Address

BookingPress also allows the admin to set the Email as Not Required field, meaning that, if the admin does not want to have the Email mandatorily from the Customers, then just disable the Required switch for the Email.

If you have added any Customer Fields from “BookingPress -> Settings -> Customers”, then those fields will also be displayed here making it parted in the “Customer” section, which you can add as the Custom Fields according to your requirement.

Copy the key and add it to the URL as a placeholder, like this:
