Hello,

Most of the important tables already contain a number of custom fields that you can use. This is the suggested route for adding custom data / functionality.

Hi,

You can add columns to the database if you like but you will be responsible for maintaining them.  KonaKart cannot look after them.

Can you explain what you're trying to do?

If you add your own fields they cannot be maintained via the KonaKart API or Admin App. That is why we've added custom fields.
