In this tutorial, we will provide step by step instructions on How To Add New Fields in Shopify Newsletter Form:
First Step – Shopify Dashboard :
Goto Shopify Dashboard which will look like below:
Then click on “Online Store“
Second Step – Editing Dawn Theme Code :
In this step, we will go to the Code editing section for our Published Theme which is “Dawn”. Before doing we suggest creating a “Duplicate” to save the original files so if we do something wrong on the code we can easily revert it back from the Duplicate Theme.
Third Step – Editing newsletter.liquid file :
In this step, we will update newsletter.liquid file code, following is the code which we will use to add “First Name” and “Last Name” field in our Shopify Newsletter Form.

The problem with this solution is that it does not record the name properly in the “Customers” local data area. It records the customers name twice.
Thanks for intimation, we will look into it and update tutorial
Is the problem mentioned above fixed?
This is fantastic and one of the best tutorials I’ve found for this. But it throwing some errors of “missing translation: “t:sections.newsletter.settings.color_scheme.label” is not present in any of the [“en”] schema locale files” any thoughts on how to fix that? Thanks so much!
Looks like an issue of a Typo in schema settings
This will add the user’s Instagram ID to their tags. Good for contests.
