The extension allows you to add custom fields to the billing and/or shipping address form on the checkout page of your WooCommerce store. You can choose from a variety of field types, including text, dropdowns, checkboxes, and more. Once the fields are added, the information entered by the customer is saved to the order details in the WooCommerce backend.
To add a custom field to the shipping address in WooCommerce, you will need to do the following:
Add a new field to the shipping address form:
You can use the woocommerce_shipping_fields filter to add a new field to the shipping address form. Here is a code to do so:function add_shipping_custom_field( $fields ) {
$fields['shipping_custom_field'] = array(
'label' => __('Custom Field', 'woocommerce'),
'required' => false,
'class' => array('form-row-wide'),
'clear' => true,
);
return $fields;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_shipping_fields', 'add_shipping_custom_field' );
In this code, the field label is “Custom Field”, it is not required, it has a class of form-row-wide, and it will clear the shipping form row.
Save the custom field data:
You will need to save the custom field data when the order is processed. You can use the woocommerce_checkout_create_order_shipping action hook to do this. Here is a code snippet:function save_shipping_custom_field( $order, $data ) {
if ( isset( $data['shipping_custom_field'] ) ) {
$order->update_meta_data( '_shipping_custom_field', sanitize_text_field( $data['shipping_custom_field'] ) );
}
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_create_order_shipping', 'save_shipping_custom_field', 10, 2 );
In this code, the custom field data is saved to the order meta data with a key of _shipping_custom_field.
That’s it! You should now see the custom field in the shipping address form, and the data will be saved to the order meta data when the order is processed.
Yes, you can customise the fields added by the extension to suit your business needs. You can choose from a variety of field types and set them as required or optional. You can also control the placement of the fields on the checkout page.
To add an address in WooCommerce, you can follow these steps:
1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to WooCommerce > Customers.
2. Click on the Add New button to create a new customer.
3. Enter the customer’s details, including their email address and shipping/billing address.
4. Click on the Add Address button to add a new address for the customer. You can add multiple addresses for a single customer if needed.
5. Enter the address details, including the recipient name, company (optional), address line 1, address line 2 (optional), city, state, postcode, and country.
6. Choose whether this address is for shipping or billing by selecting the appropriate option from the Address Type dropdown menu.
7. Click on the Save Customer button to save the customer and address details.
That’s it! You have now added a new address in WooCommerce. You can view and manage all your customers and their addresses by navigating to WooCommerce > Customers and selecting the appropriate customer from the list. From there, you can edit, delete, or add new addresses as needed.
In WooCommerce, the billing address is enabled by default. However, if you have disabled it previously, you can enable it again by following these steps:
Log in to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to WooCommerce > Settings.
Click on the Checkout tab.
Scroll down to the Billing Address section and make sure that the checkbox next to “Enable billing address” is checked.
Optionally, you can choose whether to display the billing address fields on the checkout page, account page, or both.
Click on the Save Changes button to save your settings.
That’s it! The billing address is now enabled in your WooCommerce store. When customers place an order, they will be prompted to enter their billing address information during the checkout process. If they have previously entered a billing address, it will be pre-populated for them.
To programmatically set the billing and shipping details in WooCommerce, you can use the following code snippet:// Get the current user ID
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
// Set the billing details
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'billing_first_name', 'John' );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'billing_last_name', 'Doe' );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'billing_company', 'Acme Inc.' );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'billing_address_1', '123 Main St.' );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'billing_address_2', '' );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'billing_city', 'Anytown' );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'billing_state', 'CA' );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'billing_postcode', '12345' );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'billing_country', 'US' );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'billing_email', 'john.doe@example.com' );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'billing_phone', '555-555-5555' );
// Set the shipping details
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'shipping_first_name', 'John' );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'shipping_last_name', 'Doe' );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'shipping_company', 'Acme Inc.' );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'shipping_address_1', '123 Main St.' );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'shipping_address_2', '' );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'shipping_city', 'Anytown' );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'shipping_state', 'CA' );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'shipping_postcode', '12345' );
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'shipping_country', 'US' );
In this code snippet, we first get the current user ID using the get_current_user_id() function. Then we use the update_user_meta() function to set the billing and shipping details for the user.
Note that this code assumes that the user is already registered on your site and has an associated user ID. If the user is not registered, you may need to create a new user and assign them an ID before setting their billing and shipping details.
