How Do I Remove a Field From WooCommerce Checkout?

Last updated on January 17, 2023 @ 6:19 am

The checkout page on your WooCommerce store is where customers go to complete their purchase. By default, this page includes several fields that are required in order to process the order, including the customer’s name, address, and payment information.

However, you may find that you don’t need all of these fields on your checkout page. For example, if you’re only selling digital products, you probably don’t need to collect the customer’s shipping address.

Or, if you’re using a third-party payment gateway like PayPal, you may not need to ask for the customer’s credit card information.

In these cases, it makes sense to remove the unnecessary fields from the checkout page. Doing so can simplify the purchase process for your customers and help reduce shopping cart abandonment.

Here’s how to remove a field from the WooCommerce checkout page:

  1. Log in to your WordPress site and go to WooCommerce > Settings. On the Settings screen, select the Checkout tab.
  2. On the Checkout tab, scroll down to the Checkout Process section.
  3. In this section, there are three options for each field: (Enable/Disable), (Required?), and (Visible on Product Page?). Use these options to configure which fields you want to display on the checkout page.
  4. Save your changes.

That’s it! You have successfully removed unnecessary fields from the WooCommerce checkout page.

Conclusion

Removing unnecessary fields from the WooCommerce checkout page can simplify the purchase process for your customers and help reduce shopping cart abandonment.
