Remove Billing Address Fields

While the out-of-the-box solution is perfect for many there may be some users like myself who require a little customization to make the checkout process a little easier. On the Checkout page users are required to fill in several Billing address fileds which is not so bad for many users especially those selling tangible products.

// REMOVE BILLING FIELDS --WooCommerce
add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );
    function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_first_name']);
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_last_name']);
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_company']);
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_address_1']);
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_address_2']);
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_city']);
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_postcode']);
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_country']);
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_state']);
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_phone']);
    unset($fields['order']['order_comments']);
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_address_2']);
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_postcode']);
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_company']);
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_last_name']);
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_email']);
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_city']);
    return $fields;
}

Remove Headings

After removing all the Billing fields and associated labels we’re left with 2 more labels “Billing Address” and “Additional Information”. These labels/headings can be removed or edited by:

1. Navigate to the woocommerce folder inside of your wordpress theme directory (eg: /wp-content/themes/mytheme/woocommerce)
2. Go into the woocommerce/templates/checkout/form-billing.php template file, scroll to Line 19 and replace label with “” OR whatever label you prefer.
3. Next, locate the form-shipping.php template file inside the smae folder, scroll to Line 55 and replace the label accordingly.
4. That’s It! Refresh the cart page to see the difference.
