    Hi Wanderson,

    It is not possible to remove the text “(optional)” from the field labels when those fields are actually optional without customizing the WooCommerce function which generates the fields.

    Making this customization is not part of our plugin support, as stated on our support page.

    You can find this code in the file includes/wc-template-functions.php, function woocommerce_form_field. There is a hook at the end of that function you can use to remove it, which has the same name as the function woocommerce_form_field. This applies to most checkout fields, the state field being an exception but there could be more exceptions.

    It is also not recommended to remove it as optional fields should be marked as such, according to this research:

    I’m closing this ticket for now.

    Best,
    Diego.
