Checkout Fields

In this tutorial I will show you step by step how to add a file uploader field to WooCommerce checkout page without any plugins.

There are two type of fields in WooCommerce – billing and shipping fields (sorry for being so obvious). Some of the fields are presented in both of these categories, like a first name field or a country field. Some – may be presented in one of the categories only, like phone or email.

And now read carefully:

• We can make changes in the fields using hook woocommerce_default_address_fields – in this case the changes will affect everything – both edit billing and shipping fields pages in “My account” and the Checkout page as well.
• woocommerce_shipping_fields – the same, but affects only shipping fields
• woocommerce_billing_fields – the same, but affects only billing fields
• woocommerce_checkout_fields – affects only the checkout page, nothing else, this hook is already described in details in a separate tutorial.

I decided to publish a separate tutorial where we are going to talk about WooCommerce checkout form AJAX validation. Some of the fields in this form already has some default validation like email or zip-code validation, I will show you how to turn it off if you wish and how to add some custom validation rules as well.
