Select action for a field when rules match:

• Show this field if
• Hide this field if

and the required condition:

• All rules match (and)
• One or more rules match (or)

You can add any number of rules. Rules matching is based on a field type (checkbox, radio and select) and field option.

Checkbox will have two options: checked and unchecked.

For radio and select options will be configured manually.

Settings

Go to menu WooCommerce → Checkout Fields → Settings.

CSS jQuery UI – in the plugin’s settings, you can disable loading of the CSS jQuery UI file. The CSS file is used to style some additional fields in the order (i.e. Date field), but it may cause conflicts with other plugins that also make use of jQuery UI (i.e. to create tabs). If you notice any problems when displaying your shop, try to disable this CSS file.

Custom Sections – you can add custom sections to checkout. Check custom sections and click Save changes. New sections will show up in tabs in the plugin menu.

Below you can see all custom sections on Storefront 2.1.1 example. For better presentation, the theme was modified to one column view in checkout by Storefront Checkout Customiser.

Custom Sections

After adding custom section go to it’s tab, add new fields and edit sections. You can set Section Title, Section Titile Tag and CSS Class.

Usage Examples

Additional Agreements at the Checkout

You can add additional checkboxes that will appear directly over the button used to placing an order. Here you can also add options, such as: consent to send a newsletter or other sign ups to which the user should agree. Every added checkbox can be made obligatory or optional.

In plugin settings add custom sections Before Submit. Next:

1. Add field type Checkbox, Save changes and expand field to editing.
2. Check Required Field if you wont to required this option.
3. Enter the content of the checkbox.
4. Enter the value of the checkbox (e.g. Yes, Selected, etc.). The value will be displayed only in the order preview if the checkbox was selected by the user. It’s meant for the administrator only.
5. Optionally, enter the CSS class.
6. Click Save changes.

Information on selecting the checkbox in the order

If the checkbox has been selected by the user, the information appears in the details of the order:

Displaying values of fields’ using custom PHP code – for advanced users

If you would like to display a value of specific field entered by your customer in the checkout, use below PHP code:
echo $order->get_meta( 'meta_name');

To learn a meta name (the name that the field is written under in the database), check the field’s configuration:

So, in this example: to display VAT Number field value with meta name _billing_vat_number, use below PHP code:
echo $order->get_meta( '_billing_vat_number');

Deleting the changes

To reset sections settings click “Reset Section Settings” button. For standard sections (Billing, Shipping, Order) custom fields will be deleted and standard fields will be reset to their default state, and for additional sections, all fields will be deleted.
