Disable Order Note field in Checkout

Hi,

You are correct, in the current version that filter is not being used. In the upcoming version 3.0.0 more of the default WooCommerce templates will be used and thus making that filter work.

If you’d like to remove the order notes field in the current version we suggest overwriting the template in your child theme instead.

Best regards

Sounds great regarding the 3.0.0 version, looking forward to testing it, hopefully it will solve all known issues and limitations then. ??

For others wondering, while we wait for the new release:

If you’d like to remove the order notes field in the current version we suggest overwriting the template in your child theme instead.

The code in svea-checkout.php loading the order note field is as follows, which means you might end up removing other things also if removing/commenting it:

                <div class="wc-svea-checkout-other-fields">
                    <?php foreach ( $checkout->get_checkout_fields( 'order' ) as $key => $field ) : ?>
                        <?php woocommerce_form_field( $key, $field, $checkout->get_value( $key ) ); ?>
                    <?php endforeach; ?>
                </div>

So maybe instead just add a custom filter to functions.php or a code snippet plugin:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'remove_order_notes_field', 20, 1 );
function remove_order_notes_field( $fields ) {
    unset($fields['order']['order_comments']);
    return $fields;
}
