Product Description
The Checkout Field Manager for WooCommerce is the perfect way to customize the checkout process using an intuitive admin screen. Not only can you alter the order that the fields appear, but you can also add a variety of additional fields that might make more sense to your particular store. Once you add a new field to the checkout, the new data appears in order emails to the customer, admin and the admin order management screens.
Once you add the extension, you’ll be able to add the following types of new fields:
- Text Input – great for just collecting some more information
- Text Area – great for collecting alot of information
- Checkbox – ideal for yes or no question
- Datepicker – perfect for delivery dates. New: Datepicker Options to further customize your date fields!
- Select Box – give your customers a few options to choose from
- Radio Group – For when the Select isn’t quite what you need
- New: Heading – Separate your additional fields with a heading
With version 1.0.15 – the Checkout Field Manager for Woocommerce now includes the ability to add/customize the section that includes the “Order Notes” field. This allows for even more checkout flexibility!
Installation:
Installation is handled just like any other WordPress Plugin.
- In your WordPress admin section, go to the Plugins tab.
- Click Add New, and upload the zip file.
- Once the file is uploaded, activate the newly created Checkout Field Manager for WooCommerce plugin.
Thats it for installation, now you just need to setup the plugin from your WooCommerce Settings page.
Setup
Once the plugin has been installed, you’ll see a new sub menu item under WooCommerce called “Checkout Fields” – this is where you’ll find the new checkout
field manager. When you click this link, you’ll be taken to the extension’s setup page. Here you’ll find three tabs: Billing, Shipping, and Settings. The
billing and shipping tab allow you to add / edit billing and shipping fields, while the settings tab contains an advanced option, which we’ll describe next.
Advanced Settings
If you do decide to edit the core required fields, support for any problems you might experience with payment gateways, shipping methods, and other extensions will be limited. If you have questions about whether disabling a required field will disrupt another extension, it’s best to ask that extension author if the field is required.
By default, the Checkout Field Manager for WooCommerce allows you to add new fields and disable NON-REQUIRED core fields (the ones that don’t have the red asterick next to them). The reason why we do this is because disabling core fields – or making them not required – might interfere with payment gateways, shipping methods or other extensions that look to the existance of the data that those fields collect. However, we do provide an ovveride switch on the Settings tab. If you check the box to enable the editing of these required fields, you’ll have greater control over these fields.

This is a great plugin to customize billing and shipping fields during the checkout process. It’s easy to use and covers just about everything you’d need to add to the checkout page. I needed a little extra customization done to the date picker and the developer quickly replied with the perfect fix. Definitely worth the money.

I spent endless hours trying to customize my check-out page on my own. I wish I had heard of 61 Extension’s Checkout Field Manager sooner. It would’ve spared me such headaches. I’m not a technical person but I found this plugin extremely easy to use. In addition, any support questions I had were answered in a timely fashion.

After spending a few hours struggling to make my custom fields work the way I wanted, I stumbled upon this extension and I’m so glad I did! It works wonderfully and I even contacted their support team to make my custom field appear on the “orders” page, and they got back to me very quickly with a short snippet that worked perfectly. Fantastic plugin and great support. Highly recommended.

I have one thing to say. IT WORKS
it took me 1 minute from download to uploading the zipped folder to activating it and adding the extra field i needed to add.. a bit of playing around with it so the layout looks good and voila.. done.. I know its $50 yet it will save you days of pointless research if you are like me a none developer.
