F4 Simple Checkout Fields for WooCommerce

With F4 Simple Checkout Fields for WooCommerce you can simply add new fields to the WooCommerce checkout. There is no UI to manage the fields, they only can be added with a simple PHP method. That ensures that the plugin is lightweight and easy to handle, even though you need simple PHP knowledge and access to the file system to add the code (preferred your WordPress theme).

Usage

If you first install this plugin, it will do nothing. But it provides a method to add as many custom fields to your checkout as you need. Here’s a sample how you could add a simple text field to the billing and shipping address:

add_action('init', function() {
    F4\WCSCF\Core\Helpers::register_field(array(
        'name' => 'demo-text',
        'type' => 'text',
        'label' => 'Text Field'
    ));
});

Arguments

The register_field method provides a lot of arguments to customize your fields. Some of the arguments are identically to the officiel WooCommerce arguments:

F4\WCSCF\Core\Helpers::register_field(array(
    // (array) Defines where the field should be added
    // billing = billing address, shipping = shipping address
    'target' => array('billing', 'shipping'),

    // (string) The internal name for the field. Must be unique
    'name' => '',

    // (string) The field type (text, textarea, password, select)
    'type' => 'text',

    // (string) The field label
    'label' => '',

    // (string) The description
    'description' => '',

    'placeholder' => '',

    'options' => array(),

    // (string|array) Defines the position, where the field should be added
    // last = append after the last field
    // first = prepend before the first field
    // array('before' => 'fieldname') = prepend before the defined field
    // array('after' => 'fieldname') = append after the defined field
    'position' => 'last', // 'first', 'last', array('before' => ''), array('after' => '')

    // (string) The delimiter that should be used in the formatted address outputs
    'formatted_address_delimiter' => "\n",

    'show_in_address_form' => true,

    'show_in_order_form' => true,

    // (boolean) Defines if the field should be displayed in the formatted address
    'show_in_formatted_address' => true,

    // (boolean) Defines if the field should be displayed in the admin user form
    'show_in_admin_user_form' => true,

    // (boolean) Defines if the field should be displayed in the admin order form
    'show_in_admin_order_form' => true,
