How to remove woocommerce checkout fields without plugin?

To remove WooCommerce checkout fields without using a plugin, you can use one of the following methods:

1. Using WooCommerce hooks and filters: WooCommerce provides a number of hooks and filters that allow you to customize the checkout process. You can use these hooks and filters to remove specific checkout fields.

For example, to remove the “Company” field from the checkout form, you can use the following code:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );

function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_company']);
    return $fields;
}

This code uses the woocommerce_checkout_fields filter to modify the default checkout fields. It removes the billing_company field from the billing section of the checkout form.

You can use a similar approach to remove other fields from the checkout form. For example, to remove the “Phone” field from the checkout form, you can use the following code:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );

function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_phone']);
    return $fields;
}

2. Customizing the checkout form template: Another method to remove checkout fields is to customize the checkout form template. WooCommerce provides a default template for the checkout form, which can be found in the templates folder of the plugin.

To customize the template, you can create a folder named woocommerce in your theme’s folder and copy the checkout folder from the plugin’s templates folder into it. This will override the default checkout form template for your theme.

Once you have the checkout form template in your theme, you can remove the fields you don’t want by removing the corresponding form fields from the template.

For example, to remove the “Company” field from the checkout form, you can remove the following line from the template:

<p class="form-row form-row-wide" id="billing_company_field">
    <label for="billing_company" class="">Company <abbr class="required" title="required">*</abbr></label>
    <input type="text" class="input-text " name="billing_company" id="billing_company" placeholder="" value="" autocomplete="organization">
</p>

You can use a similar approach to remove other fields from the checkout form.

Keep in mind that customizing the checkout form template can be more time-consuming than using hooks and filters, and it requires more knowledge of HTML, CSS, and PHP. Additionally, if you update the WooCommerce plugin, your customizations may be lost unless you carefully merge your changes with the updated version of the template.

Did you know that more than 75% of users add a product to the cart but then leave the website without buying anything? One of the main reasons for shopping cart abandonment is that the checkout is too long or complicated.
