How Do I Make My Zip Code Optional in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 5:34 am

If you are using WooCommerce to sell products online, you may have noticed that the checkout process requires customers to enter their ZIP code. This is because WooCommerce uses the customer’s ZIP code to calculate shipping costs.

However, you may not want to require your customers to enter their ZIP code during checkout. Fortunately, there is a way to make the ZIP code optional in WooCommerce.

To make the ZIP code optional in WooCommerce, you will need to add a snippet of code to your functions.php file. You can do this by logging into your WordPress dashboard and going to Appearance > Editor.

On the right hand side, you will see a list of files in your theme. Find the functions.php file and click on it. Once the file is open, scroll down to the bottom and add the following code:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'optional_zipcode');

function optional_zipcode( $fields ) {

$fields['billing']['billing_postcode']['required'] = false;

$fields['shipping']['shipping_postcode']['required'] = false;

return $fields;

}

Once you have added this code, click on the Update File button to save your changes. Now when customers go through the checkout process, they will not be required to enter their ZIP code.
