TL;DR

You won’t need to spend a ridiculous $49 to edit your fields. Here’s how you can do that for free.

Easily tweak your Woocomerce checkout form with Customize

  1. Go to Appearance > Customize
  2. Then go to Woocomerce > Checkout
  3. Then select the fields to Hidden / Optional / Required

If you need better granularity, you can use the following steps.

Steps to edit Woocomerce checkout fields

  1. Download and activate the My Custom Functions plugin (or alternatively edit the functions.php file on your Child Theme)
  2. Once in the plugin (which you can find on Settings > PHP inserter) or in your functions.php, paste the code below and save changes.
  3. Done!

/* WooCommerce: Remove Checkout Fields */ add_filter( ‘woocommerce_checkout_fields’ , ‘custom_override_checkout_fields’ ); function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) { unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); return $fields; }

Note that the above code removes all fields, if you want to keep a few (for instance: First Name, Last Name, Email) simply delete the corresponding lines like I did here:

That code is this one

/* WooCommerce: The Code Below Removes Checkout Fields */ add_filter( ‘woocommerce_checkout_fields’ , ‘custom_override_checkout_fields’ ); function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) { unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); unset($fields); return $fields; }

Now your checkout should look a lot cleaner!

Bottom line

Hope you enjoyed this quick trip to customize your Woo-commerce checkout fields.
