Checkout Fields are custom fields used in the storefront that can be added to order records if the default options are insufficient for the store's needs. The Search Checkout Fields page provides options to review, manage, and make bulk changes to them. By default, the checkout fields are displayed by their SID (System ID). A different method of sorting can be selected by clicking the up and down arrows in the heading of each column.
