How Do I Create a Checkbox in WooCommerce Checkout?

Last updated on January 14, 2023 @ 9:01 am

Checkboxes are a great way to allow your customers to select multiple items or options in WooCommerce. There are two types of checkboxes that you can use in WooCommerce: single checkboxes and multi-checkboxes.

Single checkboxes are used when there is only one option that the customer can select. For example, if you were selling a t-shirt and the customer could only choose one size, you would use a single checkbox.

Multi-checkboxes are used when there are multiple options that the customer can select. For example, if you were selling a t-shirt and the customer could choose multiple sizes, you would use a multi-checkbox.

To create a checkbox in WooCommerce checkout, you will need to add the following code to your functions.php file:

// Add Checkbox to WooCommerce Checkout
function my_custom_checkout_field( $checkout ) {

    echo '<div id="my_custom_checkout_field">';

    WooCommerce_form_field( 'my_field_name', array(
        'type'          => 'checkbox',
        'class'         => array('my-field-class form-row-wide'),
        'label'         => __('Enable this feature?'),
        ), $checkout->get_value( 'my_field_name' ));

    echo '</div>'; 
} add_action( 'woocommerce_after_order_notes', 'my_custom_checkout_field' );

Replace “my field name” with the name of your field and “my field class” with the CSS class of your field. You can also change the label to whatever you want.

PRO TIP: This article covers how to add a checkbox to the WooCommerce checkout page. However, it’s important to note that this only works if you’re using the default checkout fields. If you’re using a custom checkout field, you’ll need to add the checkbox manually.

That’s all you need to do to add a checkbox to WooCommerce checkout. If you want to style the checkbox, you can do so by adding CSS to your stylesheet.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, checkboxes are a great way to allow customers to select multiple items or options in WooCommerce. To create a checkbox in WooCommerce checkout, you will need to add the following code to your functions.php file:

// Add Checkbox to WooCommerce Checkout 
function my_custom_checkout_field( $checkout ) {

    echo '<div id="my_custom_checkout_field">'; 

    WooCommerce form field( 'my field name', array( 
        'type'=>'checkbox', 
        'class'=>array('my field class form row wide'), 
        'label'=>__('Enable this feature?'), 
        ), $checkout - >get value ('my field name'));

    echo '';
} add action ('WooCommerce after order notes', my custom checkout field');

Replace “my field name” with the name of your field and “my field class” with the CSS class of your field.
That’s all you need to do to add a checkbox to WooCommerce checkout.
