If you’re running a WooCommerce store, you’ve probably noticed that the default registration form isn’t very comprehensive. It only asks for a username, email address and password.
However, you can easily change this form to include additional fields by editing the code. In this article, we’ll show you how to change the registration form in WooCommerce.
WooCommerce comes with a default registration form that includes the following fields: username, email address and password. You can find this form in the “My Account” section of your WooCommerce store.
While this form is fine for most stores, you may want to add additional fields to collect more information from your customers. For example, you may want to ask for their first and last name, phone number or shipping address. Luckily, it’s easy to add these fields to the WooCommerce registration form.
To add additional fields to the WooCommerce registration form, you’ll need to edit the code. Don’t worry, this is easy to do even if you’re not a developer.
First, you’ll need to login to your WordPress site and go to the “Appearance” section. From here, you’ll need to edit the “Theme Functions” file (functions.php).
Once you’ve opened the Theme Functions file, you’ll need to add the following code:
function wooc_extra_register_fields() {?>
<p>
<label for="reg_billing_first_name">First Name</label>
<input type="text"
class="input-text"
name="billing_first_name"
id="reg_billing_first_name" value="
<?php esc_attr_e(
$_POST['billing_first_name'] ); ?>" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="reg_billing_last_name">Last Name</label>
<input type="text"
class="input-text"
name="billing_last_name"
id="reg_billing_last_name" value="
<?php esc_attr_e(
$_POST['billing_last_name'] ); ?>" />
</p>
// Additional Fields can be added here..
In the code above, we’ve added two new fields: First Name and Last Name. You can add as many fields as you like by copying and pasting the code above and adding new fields.
Once you’ve added the code above and saved your changes, your WooCommerce registration form will now include additional fields. Keep in mind that these new fields are not required, so your customers will still be able to register without providing this information.
