How Do I Remove a Shipping Address From a WooCommerce Cart?

If you’re using WooCommerce to sell products on your WordPress site, you may want to know how to remove a shipping address from the cart. By default, WooCommerce will add the customer’s shipping address to the cart, but there are times when you may want to remove it. For example, if you’re selling digital products that don’t require shipping, or if you’re using a different shipping method that doesn’t require an address.

In this article, we’ll show you how to remove a shipping address from a WooCommerce cart. We’ll also show you how to add a “no shipping” option to your cart so customers can purchase digital products without adding a shipping address.

How to Remove a Shipping Address From a WooCommerce Cart

If you want to remove the shipping address from your WooCommerce cart, there are two ways you can do it. The first way is by going to the WooCommerce settings page and disabling the “Collect customer address” option. This will remove the shipping fields from the checkout page and prevent customers from adding a shipping address to their cart.

To disable the “Collect customer address” option:

1. Log into your WordPress site and go to the WooCommerce settings page.
2. Click on the “Checkout” tab and scroll down to the “Address Settings” section.
3. (Optional): If you only want to remove the shipping address from the cart and not from the checkout page, you can check the box next to “Enable guest checkout”. This will allow customers to checkout without creating an account or entering their shipping information.
4. (Optional): If you want to completely remove the shipping fields from the checkout page, you can check the box next to “Disable Shipping Address Fields”. Checking this box will also remove any other fields that are related to shipping (such as order notes).
5. (Optional): If you only want to remove certain fields from the checkout page, you can click on the “Fields” tab and uncheck any fields that you don’t want displayed. For example, if you only want to remove the “Address 1” field, you would uncheck that field and leave all other fields checked.
6. (Required): Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on “Save Changes”. This will update your settings and remove the shipping fields from your WooCommerce cart.

(Alternative Method) How to Add a “No Shipping” Option To Your Cart

If you don’t want to disable all of the shipping fields in WooCommerce, another option is to add a “no shipping” option to your cart. This option can be enabled by going to the “Shipping Zones” section of WooCommerce and adding a new zone for “no shipping”. Once you’ve created this zone, you can add a new flat rate called “no shipping” (or something similar) and set it’s price to $0.00.

(To create a new “no shipping” zone:)

1. (Required): Log into your WordPress site and go to “WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping Zones”. You should see a list of all of your existing shipping zones.
2. (Optional): If there are no zones listed yet, click on “Add Zone” button. This will bring up a form where you can add details about your new zone.
3. (Required): Enter “No Shipping” (or something similar) in the “Zone Name” field. This is what will be displayed on the front-end of your site.
4. (Required): In “Zone Regions” select “”Everywhere Else”/”Rest of World”/”Worldwide” etc. depending on what region is applicable for this particular case.

1. (Required): Scroll down and click on “”Add Shipping Method” button”. This will bring up a form where you can add details about your new flat rate.
2. (Required): In “Method Title” enter “No Shipping”. This is what will be displayed on front end of website.

(Alternative Method Continued) How To Set The Flat Rate Price To $0.00

1. ( Required ): In “Flat Rate Cost” enter “$ 0 . 00”. This is what will be charged for this particular case .
2. ( Optional ): You can also add additional information about this flat rate in “Method Description”. For example , if customers see this flat rate they know not expect any physical product shipped out.
