## 1: Apply custom data mapping in StoreConnect

-   In StoreConnect admin, go to: **Configuration** → **Advanced** → **Data Mapping**.

-   Click **New** to create a custom data mapping.

-   Fill in:

    -   **Object API Name**: Get this by going to **Setup** → **Object Manager** → search and open **Contact**.

    -   **Field API Name**: Go to **Fields & Relationships**, find the desired field (e.g., *Favorite\_Color\_\_c*), and copy its API name.

-   Save the mapping record.


## 2: Modify or create a theme to use the data

-   Go to your **Store Record** in StoreConnect.

-   Either edit an existing theme or create a **new theme**:

    -   Give it a name and **save** it.

    -   Apply the theme to the store.


## 3: Add your Liquid code to the theme template

-   Inside the theme, go to **Templates** → **New Snippet**.

-   Create a new snippet for the account contact page:

    -   Key: `snippets/account/contact`.

-   Copy the corresponding base snippet code from an existing StoreConnect theme.


Download the StoreConnect Base Theme: [https://github.com/GetStoreConnect/base-theme](https://github.com/GetStoreConnect/base-theme)

-   Modify the snippet to include the new field, e.g.:

    `Favorite Color: {{ current_customer.data['Favorite_Color__c'] }}`

-   Save the snippet.


## 4: Test

-   Go to the customer’s **account page** on the store frontend.

-   **Refresh** the page.

-   You should now see the **Favorite Color** field displayed, pulling live data from Salesforce.
