How to customize checkout page in woocommerce

Customizing the WooCommerce checkout page is essential for improving user experience, increasing conversions, and aligning the checkout process with your brand. WooCommerce provides multiple ways to customize the checkout page, including using plugins, modifying the functions.php file, and utilizing page builders like Elementor or Divi.

Why Customize the WooCommerce Checkout Page?

• Improve user experience by simplifying the checkout process.
• Increase conversions by reducing form fields and optimizing layout.
• Enhance branding by adding custom styles and elements.
• Collect additional information by adding custom fields.

Methods to Customize the WooCommerce Checkout Page

1. Using a Plugin (No Coding Required)

The easiest way to customize the WooCommerce checkout page is by using a plugin. Some popular options include:

• Checkout Field Editor for WooCommerce (add, remove, and edit fields)
• WooCommerce Custom Checkout Fields (advanced field customization)
• CartFlows (build custom sales funnels)

Steps to Customize with a Plugin:

1. Install and activate a checkout customization plugin.
2. Navigate to WooCommerce > Checkout Fields (or the plugin settings page).
3. Add, remove, or rearrange fields as needed.
4. Save changes and test the checkout process.

2. Customizing Checkout Fields via functions.php

For more control, you can modify the checkout fields using WooCommerce hooks in your theme’s functions.php file.

Remove Unnecessary Checkout Fields:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields', 'custom_remove_checkout_fields' );
function custom_remove_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_company']); // Remove Company Name field
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_phone']); // Remove Phone field
    return $fields;
}

Add a Custom Field:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields', 'custom_add_checkout_field' );
function custom_add_checkout_field( $fields ) {
    $fields['billing']['billing_custom_note'] = array(
        'type'        => 'text',
        'label'       => __('Custom Note', 'woocommerce'),
        'required'    => false,
        'class'       => array('form-row-wide')
    );
    return $fields;
}

3. Using a Page Builder (Elementor, Divi, WPBakery)

If you use a page builder like Elementor or Divi, you can design a custom checkout page visually.

Steps to Customize with Elementor:

1. Install and activate Elementor Pro.
2. Navigate to Templates > Theme Builder > Add New Template.
3. Choose WooCommerce Checkout and start designing.
4. Use the WooCommerce Checkout Widget to add checkout elements.
5. Publish the template and assign it to the checkout page.

4. Styling the Checkout Page with CSS

To change the checkout page appearance, add custom CSS via Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS.

Example CSS Code:

.woocommerce-checkout h3 {
    color: #ff6600;
    font-size: 24px;
}

.woocommerce form.checkout {
    background-color: #f9f9f9;
    padding: 20px;
    border-radius: 10px;
}

Conclusion

WooCommerce checkout page customization can be done using plugins, code snippets, page builders, or CSS styling. The best method depends on your technical expertise and business needs.
