# Hidden Field Element
The **Hidden Field** is a special input type used to store information in the background that isn't visible to customers on the storefront. It's typically used to pass internal data, or support advanced customization needs without user interaction.
***
**🔧 Common Use Cases**
* Include additional order information for backend processing.
* Store default values used for logic or calculations.
***
**⚙️ Configuration Options**
Even though it's not visible to customers, the hidden field supports many of the same settings as other elements:
* **Label / Name**: Used internally to identify the field.
* **Default Value**: The value automatically included when the form is submitted.
* **Conditional Logic**: Show or activate this field based on other field values.
* **Advanced Settings**:
* You can assign **HTML classes** if needed for further customization.
* **Column width** and visual settings are not applicable, since the field is hidden from view.
***
**🔒 Important Notes**
* The value in the hidden field is still submitted with the order and can be accessed on the backend.
* Customers won’t see or interact with this field on the storefront, but it's useful for internal workflows, automation, or integrations.
