Removing Woocommerce checkout fields

Customizing functions.php file in WordPress

In order to remove some or all checkout fields from your checkout page we need to navigate to your admin interface and then go to Appearance and then under Appearance select Theme Editor.

After navigating there you will see a window like this one below. On the right side select Theme Functions (functions.php).

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is image-1-1024x483.png

Copy-Paste the code provided below at the end of functions.php file. Provided code removes all of the checkout fields on woocommerce page. In order to remove just some of the fields you will need to delete the unnecessary lines of code. For example if you would like to keep the field “First Name” in your checkout page you would remove the line of code where it says:
“unset($fields[‘billing’][‘billing_first_name’]); // Billing First name“.

Same thing applies for every other field you want to keep.

// Remove checkout fields
add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'remove_checkout_fields' );

function remove_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
 // remove billing fields
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_first_name']); // Unsets Billing First name
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_last_name']); // Unsets Billing Last name
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_company']); // Unsets Billing company
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_address_1']); // Unsets Billing Address 1
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_address_2']); // Unsets Billing Address 2
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_city']); // Unsets Billing city
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_postcode']); // Unsets Billing postcode
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_country']); // Unsets Billing country
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_state']); // Unsets Billing state
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_phone']); // Unsets Billing phone
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_email']); // Unsets Billing email
   
    // remove shipping fields 
    unset($fields['shipping']['shipping_first_name']); // Unsets Shipping first name  
    unset($fields['shipping']['shipping_last_name']); // Unsets Shipping last name  
    unset($fields['shipping']['shipping_company']); // Unsets Shipping company  
    unset($fields['shipping']['shipping_address_1']); // Unsets Shipping address 1
    unset($fields['shipping']['shipping_address_2']); // Unsets Shipping address 2
    unset($fields['shipping']['shipping_city']); // Unsets Shipping city 
    unset($fields['shipping']['shipping_postcode']); // Unsets Shipping postcode
    unset($fields['shipping']['shipping_country']); // Unsets Shipping country
    unset($fields['shipping']['shipping_state']); // Unsets Shipping state
    
    // remove order comment fields
    unset($fields['order']['order_comments']); // Unsets Order comments
    return $fields;
}
