User Fields is a robust feature in Paid Memberships Pro to create custom profile fields for your membership site. Fields can be collected at membership checkout, on the user’s profile or for administrative view-only.

The Memberships > Settings > User Fields admin page allows you to set up user profile fields for members or admins only—with loads of customization settings.
