A Step-by-Step Guide to Removing Address Fields on WooCommerce Checkout

To customize the WooCommerce checkout and remove the address fields, you’ll typically want to create a child theme (to prevent updates from overwriting your changes) and then use hooks to modify the checkout page fields.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Add Custom Code in Your Child Theme’s functions.php

If you haven’t set up a child theme yet, it’s best to do that first so your changes are preserved during theme updates. Then, add the following code to the functions.php file in your child theme:

// Remove billing and shipping address fields on WooCommerce checkout add_filter( 'woocommerce_billing_fields', 'remove_checkout_billing_address_fields' ); add_filter( 'woocommerce_shipping_fields', 'remove_checkout_shipping_address_fields' );


function remove_checkout_billing_address_fields( $fields ) {

unset( $fields['billing_address_1'] );

unset( $fields['billing_address_2'] );

unset( $fields['billing_city'] );

unset( $fields['billing_postcode'] );

unset( $fields['billing_state'] );

unset( $fields['billing_country'] );

return $fields;

}

function remove_checkout_shipping_address_fields( $fields ) { unset( $fields['shipping_address_1'] ); unset( $fields['shipping_address_2'] ); unset( $fields['shipping_city'] ); unset( $fields['shipping_postcode'] ); unset( $fields['shipping_state'] ); unset( $fields['shipping_country'] ); return $fields; }

Explanation

Billing Fields: The woocommerce_billing_fields filter modifies the billing section. We unset all the address fields (like billing_address_1, billing_city, etc.).
Shipping Fields: Similarly, woocommerce_shipping_fields modifies the shipping section. The code unsets the address fields for shipping.

2. Optional: Disable Shipping Fields Entirely

If you don’t need shipping information at all, you can disable the shipping fields by adding this code:

3. Save and Test

After adding the code, go to your WooCommerce checkout page, and you should see that the address fields are removed from both billing and shipping sections.
