Online store owners are always trying to collect maximum customer information which can be used for marketing purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a business owner, knowing your customer is important in order to offer the best products, services, and customer experience that makes them a loyal customer for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, what type of information is required varies from business to business. Hence, you need to create custom customer attribute in Magento 2 <\/a>based on your business requirements. You can Enable Middle Name in Registration Form<\/a> to add middle name as custom attribute for the one who are willing for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, mobile number, interest\/hobbies, images, GST number, etc. can be created which are not a part of default\u00a0Magento 2\u00a0customer attributes but are important for your business to know your customers. Similarly, to\u00a0show Tax\/VAT Number in Registration Form in Magento 2<\/a>\u00a0can be an important custom attribute for businesses to collect relevant information from customers and ensure seamless transactions while adhering to tax laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, after creating a custom customer attribute, you can add it to the signup page where all the customer details are collected. For example you can add date of birth in registration form<\/a> to identify customers age group and consider it as an custom attribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
