WooCommerce provides us lots of customization to customize the checkout page using the woocommerce_checkout_fields filter hook.
When you add a custom field to the checkout page, there may be some situations where you want to add a condition to appear or disappear that field based on what your customer chooses.
In this trick, we will see how to conditional show / hide WooCommerce checkout fields by adding magic with conditional logic. This adds a personal touch, making their journey even more enchanting.
WooCommerce Conditional Checkout Fields
Let’s consider a situational example where you want to add a condition to show or hide the ‘Company Name‘ field in the billing section based on whether the customer selects a business account during checkout.
function custom_checkout_fields_condition($fields) {
// Check if the customer has selected a business account
$is_business_account = isset($_POST['account_type']) && $_POST['account_type'] === 'business';
// Add conditional logic to show/hide billing company field
if ($is_business_account) {
$fields['billing']['billing_company']['required'] = true;
$fields['billing']['billing_company']['class'][] = '';
} else {
$fields['billing']['billing_company']['required'] = false;
$fields['billing']['billing_company']['class'][] = 'hidden';
}
return $fields;
}
add_filter('woocommerce_checkout_fields', 'custom_checkout_fields_condition');In this example, We check whether the customer has selected a business account or not. Depending on the account type, we adjust the billing company field.
If they choose a business account, the ‘Company Name‘ field becomes required and visible; otherwise, it remains optional and hidden. This type of customization ensures a more tailored checkout experience for different customer scenarios.
