<p>Optimize your store checkout for digital products by eliminating the unnecessary checkout fields only when a virtual product is in the cart. Increase your store’s conversion rate by seeking only the required information during the digital products checkout.</p>

<h2>Hide specific billing fields from checkout</h2>
<p>WooCommerce by default hides shipping fields when there are only virtual products in the cart. However, for some cases this might not be enough as the customer has to fill a long list of billing fields. By using Digital Goods Checkout, you can change<strong> labels</strong>, <strong>add place holders or completely hide</strong> your billing fields from checkout. By default the WooCommerce offers following billing fields and with this extension you can choose to hide, change lablel or add place holder in of any of these fields.</p>
<ul>
<li>First name</li>
<li>Last name</li>
<li>Company</li>
<li>Address lane 1</li>
<li>Address lane 2</li>
<li>Country</li>
<li>State</li>
<li>City</li>
<li>Postal Code</li>
<li>Phone number</li>
</ul>

<h2>Hide additional notes fields:</h2>

<p>With this extension, you add a Quick Checkout Button on your specific or all virtual products to skip cart and redirect customers straight to the checkout page, making your checkout process quicker and smooth.</p>

<h2>Prevent mixing in cart:</h2>
<p>In order to streamline the checkout for digital products, you can prevent customers from adding non-virtual products along with the virtual products in the cart. When there are only virtual products in the cart, the shipping fields will not appear on the checkout page, making the checkout process faster for digital products.</p>

Digital Goods Checkout

<p>Streamline your store’s checkout process for digital products by eliminating unnecessary fields.</p>

<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Always sell the right products together</h2>
<p><strong>Force Sells for WooCommerce</strong> ensures required items, services, or fees are added with the main product automatically. That means fewer missed parts, fewer confused customers, and cleaner orders. Use it when certain items aren’t optional, when compliance requires an add‑on, or when you want to remove decision friction at the cart.</p>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Why this matters</h2>
<p>Customers often overlook essentials and support teams chase corrections later. Force Sells prevents lost revenue, avoids re‑shipping missing parts, and keeps checkout simple. Shoppers get everything they need in one step, and your operations stay tidy.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1490346" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/forcesells-datapanel.png?w=620" alt="Force Sells data panel" width="620" height="269" /></p>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Who it’s for</h2>
<p>Force Sells is designed for merchants who need certain products and services purchased together every time. It’s ideal when items can’t stand alone, when bundling protects margins, or when you want to remove guesswork for customers. Here’s a list of examples:</p>
<ul style="line-height: 1.8em">
<li><strong>Repair services:</strong> add required parts (e.g., replacement glass with iPad screen repair) so jobs are complete and margins are protected.</li>
<li><strong>Bike shops:</strong> include an installation fee with custom wheels/components so labor is always covered.</li>
<li><strong>Cosmetics brands:</strong> include a reusable pump with the first purchase of a refillable product to ensure product usability.</li>
<li><strong>SaaS or digital products:</strong> link a one‑time setup/onboarding fee to a subscription to reflect true delivery cost.</li>
<li><strong>Pet stores:</strong> bundle a starter kit with the first aquarium to reduce returns and support tickets.</li>
<li><strong>Training providers:</strong> attach course materials to each class registration so learners have what they need day one.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Two ways to link products</h2>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-secondary">
<li><strong>Normal force sell:</strong> products are added with the main item in matching quantity. Shoppers can remove or adjust them if needed.</li>
<li><strong>Synced force sell:</strong> products are locked to the main item. They can’t be removed or edited separately; quantity and removal always follow the main product.</li>
</ul>
<p>In the cart, synced items are clearly marked as “linked,” so customers understand why those items move together. This clarity reduces confusion and follow‑up support.</p>

<h2 style="color: #f5247d">When to use Force Sells vs other options</h2>
<p>Choose <strong>Force Sells</strong> when the extra item is required every time. If you want to offer optional add‑ons or flexible bundles, consider Grouped Products or Product Bundles instead.
