Fields

Rivio B2B Registration Forms provides a variety of field types to help you collect the right information from customers, wholesalers, retailers, and business applicants. You can choose the field that best matches the type of information you want to collect and customize your form based on your business needs.

Below is an overview of each available field type.

Example:
Business Name: [________________]

Use a text field when you expect the applicant to enter a short answer.

It validates the entered value as an email address, helping ensure that applicants provide a valid email format.

Use this field when the response should contain a number rather than general text.

This is useful when you want to keep responses consistent and easy to review.

Common uses:

• Business type
• How did you hear about us?
• Number of locations
• Country or region

Example:
Estimated Annual Purchase Volume: [ Select ▼ ]

Applicants can choose from the options you provide.

They are useful when you want applicants to clearly see all available options without opening a dropdown.

The Date Picker allows applicants to select a date using a calendar-style input.

It is useful when you need to collect a specific date instead of asking applicants to type it manually.

Common uses:

• Business start date
• Preferred delivery date
• Contract start date
• Date of birth
• Event date

Example:

Example:

It can be useful when you need location information for wholesale accounts, shipping, billing, or business verification.

Common information collected:

• Address
• Country
• State / Region
• City
• Postal code

Common uses:

• Business address
• Shipping address

12. Hidden Field

A Hidden Field stores information that is not visible to the applicant while they are filling out the form.

It can be useful for passing additional information with a submission without displaying that field to the customer.

Common uses:

• Internal tracking information
• Source or campaign information
• Form-related values
• Internal identifiers

Since the field is hidden, applicants do not need to enter or interact with it.

13. Section Header

The Section Header helps organize your form into clear sections.

It does not collect information from the applicant. Instead, it provides a heading or description that makes longer forms easier to understand and complete.

Common uses:

• Business Details
• Primary Contact
• Business Information
• Tax Information
• Additional Information

Example:

Business Details

You can then place the relevant fields below the section header, such as Business Name, Tax ID, Website, and Business Address.
