WooCommerce Checkout - Billing & Shipping Fields

Your customers have to provide their billing details while placing an order. There is an option to set a different shipping address too. A customer just needs to mark one checkbox on the checkout page.

It works very well by default. In most cases, there is no need to change that page. I guess you're here because you need something more 🙂

🎉So, you CAN personalize the checkout page the way you want:

• set some fields as not required
• disable any fields (eg. for digital goods)
• change the field order (for example, swap the billing and shipping address fields)
• and add your additional custom fields.
