Remove Address Field From Checkout Payment Page

[iosefl]

Hi,

We are not selling any tangible products, there is no shipping and our membership sign up[ page also doesn’t have an address field, how can we remove (not show) Address field in the payment checkout page?

Thanks,

Joseph

Even if you don’t ship anything, payment gateways still might require address field for security concerns.
You should better contact the author of the paid membership pro plugin and ask him how to do that and if you’ll do it, ask if it will affect your payments in some way or not.

Let me know if I can help you with anything else.
Cheers

I understand the security reason.
We are not selling memberships, they’re just required for the member to purchase Speed Date product, the membership is free and the Speed Date product has 2 payment options:
1). In Bank – which requires the buyer to pay directly to our bank account and bring the receipt to the Speed Date event
2). PayPal Express
I know that for PayPal Express the billing address validation is required and I’m OK with that, but I thought for buyer who chose to pay Direct Bank should not have to enter his address because it is not relevant and it is also not a required field for membership registration
But I guess if this is a big issue will leave it as it is, better have an unnecessary required field than to have problems on the checkout.

Thanks for your reply

Oh, so you are referring to the WooCommerce checkout page ?
If this is the case then here you can find some information about modifying the checkout page fields:

Thank you Andrei, I used the functions.php changes provided in the link and that removed all billing fields from checkout page, but kept my sign up requirement for customer to be able to purchase the product.
I did see this post before, but I wasn’t sure to use it because it does change the original functions.php as I’m not using child theme, I’ll keep a copy and make sure to update after every future new version update.

Thanks,

Joseph

Oh Andrei forgot to ask, how do I manage to put the cart or cart icon in the top right page, is there a cart icon to use with SweetDate theme at all because I wasn’t able to find anything in the settings for the Shop Cart?

Like currently when a person wants to buy, he adds the product to the cart and than has to chose Checkout, but if he continues to shop or browse the site, there is no way for him to go directly to the Cart later?

Unfortunately not, we plan in adding such a feature in the future but I don’t know any release date.

Thank you Andrei, meantime I found this plugin “WooCommerce Menu Cart” which is WooCommerce compatible and places a shopping cart icon/link in the menu

I’m glad you managed to find a workaround.
