We’d like to be able to collect & store custom data on customers. We use tags a lot, which are great, but we also want to store things where there’s a bit more variety than can be ‘forced’ into tags.  
The sort of things we are looking to store are:

- how many cask lines do they have?
- how many keg lines?
- how many 9s do they sell a week?
- When does their current contract end?

But having a mechanism to specify our own list of custom fields, and ideally their data type, and then collect it, report on it (and include it in the API) would be ideal

Thanks for the suggestion, Craig.

I’ve some good news - this is all already possible 🎉

Simply head to Customers → Settings & tools → Custom fields to add your custom fields. Once set up, they’ll show in the customer create/update forms and are usable in the raw data explorer, BrewwQL & the API.
