Extra checkout fields

With Avarda Checkout you have an embedded checkout solution that handles both payment methods and customer address fields. In some cases you might need to collect more information than the regular customer address data.

Default checkout fields

The Avarda Checkout for WooCommerce plugin retrieve and populate the following address data in WC()->customer (and the default WooCommerce checkout form) before the checkout form is submitted and the order is created in WooCommerce:

Billing First name
Billing Last name
Billing Postcode
Billing City
Billing State (if needed)
Billing Country
Billing Phone
Billing Email
Shipping First name
Shipping Last name
Shipping Postcode
Shipping City
Shipping State (if needed)
Shipping Country

Custom checkout fields

The plugin also handles extra checkout fields that has been added via the filter woocommerce_checkout_fields. These fields will then be displayed below the order notes textarea field.

Limitations

Custom checkout fields that have been added to the regular WooCommerce checkout form via any of the hooks available inside the form might not be handled/processed by the Avarda Checkout plugin.

Compatibility with checkout field plugins

If you don’t want to add extra checkout fields via custom code there are several plugins that solves this. Avarda Checkout for WooCommerce has been tested with the following checkout field plugins:
