How to Remove Extra Checkout Fields from WooCommerce?

Most of us use the default WooCommerce for our store’s checkout. We can’t edit or remove the extra (default) checkout fields.

Checkout is the most crucial stage for every Ecommerce store. It is where either the customer makes a purchase or leaves your site. So, we must provide related checkout fields for them.

Our default page doesn’t provide relevant checkout fields based on our product niches. Thus, it increases the chance of site abandonment.

In this article, we provide a simple technique to remove the unwanted checkout fields from your WooCommerce checkout page. Also, tips to customize the page.

First, let’s look at a short example to clarify.

The reason is that most sites didn’t customize their checkout pages based on their product niche. So, the customers abandon the sites.
