The checkout address fields’ custom controls are built directly into EDD core, requiring no additional add-ons like Checkout Fields Manager or custom checkout fields code.

You must have EDD v3.3.8 or later to use this feature.

Accessing the Checkout Field Settings

Find these settings by going to Downloads → Settings → Payments from your WordPress dashboard.

Then select the Checkout tab.

Scroll down to the Checkout Address Fields section.

Using the Custom Address Fields Settings

The Checkout Address Fields section provides functionality to manage the visibility and order of the fields.

• Country
• Address
• Address 2
• City
• State / Province
• Postal Code
• Phone

Toggling Field Visibility

Enable or disable individual fields by clicking the toggle switch next to each field name.

A blue toggle indicates the field is enabled and will be displayed on the checkout page. A grey toggle indicates the field is disabled.

Reordering Fields

Drag and drop the fields to rearrange their order on the checkout page. Click and hold the hamburger icon (three vertical lines) next to a field name, then drag it to the desired position.

Required Fields

Note that certain fields, such as Country and potentially State/Province, might be required if tax settings are enabled on your EDD site. These fields will be indicated and cannot be disabled.

Saving and Previewing Changes

After making any changes, click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page to apply your modifications.

Preview the checkout page to ensure everything looks good on the front end.

The default Checkout page (under Pages) contains and uses the EDD Checkout block to display the checkout form. The [download_checkout] shortcode can also be used.

Other Considerations

• Tax Requirements: Be mindful of tax regulations in your region and ensure you collect the necessary information.
• Payment Gateway Compatibility: These checkout field controls are compatible with all EDD-supported payment gateways.
• User Experience: While removing fields can simplify checkout, ensure you collect enough information to process orders efficiently.

The post Customize Checkout Address Fields first appeared on Easy Digital Downloads.

It has the option to hide itself on the checkout page while still remaining visible on every other page.

It updates itself via AJAX, so it’ll work even on a cached page.  This also provides a nice visual queue for the end user, letting them know their click worked.
