# Collect additional customer information

You can collect additional information from customers when they create an account through [the customer register form](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/architecture/templates/customers-register).

Note

You can't create new fields in the Shopify admin to host information, so any additional information is saved as a [customer note](https://help.shopify.com/manual/customers/manage-customers#edit-customer-profiles). The customer note isn't accessible through Liquid, but can be accessed through the [`Customer`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Customer) object of the GraphQL Admin API.

This information can be collected with any [HTML input type](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Forms/HTML5_input_types), except for `file`. The input needs to have an attribute of `name="customer[note][Information title]"`, where `Information title` is the title of the information you're collecting. You can have more than one input for collecting a note entry.

For example, the following would allow you to collect a customer's birthday and any allergies they might have:

```liquid
{% form 'create_customer' %}
{{ form.errors | default_errors }}


<div className="first-name">
  <label for="first-name">First name</label>
  <input id="first-name" type="text" name="customer[first_name]" />
</div>


<div className="last-name">
  <label for="last-name">Last name</label>
  <input id="last-name" type="text" name="customer[last_name]" />
</div>


<div className="email">
  <label for="email">Email</label>
  <input id="email" type="email" name="customer[email]" />
</div>


<div className="password">
  <label for="password">Password</label>
  <input id="password" type="password" name="customer[password]" />
</div>


<div className="password">
  <label for="password-confirmation">Password</label>
  <input id="password-confirmation" type="password" name="customer[password]" />
</div>


<div className="birthday">
  <label for="birthday">Birthday</label>
  <input id="birthday" type="date" name="customer[note][Birthday]" />
</div>


<div className="allergies">
  <label for="allergies">Allergies</label>
  <input id="allergies" type="text" name="customer[note][Allergies]" />
</div>


<div className="submit">
  <input type="submit" value="Create" />
</div>
{% endform %}
```
