How to make (existing) billing fields conditional?

  • Hi,
    I’m trying to figure out how to make some billing fields conditional. Basically I want to add a checkbox asking customer if he/she needs an invoice. Depanding on that choice I would like to make first and last name non mandatory (in case of invoice) and instead company name and VAT id fields mandatory.

    So when this checkbox is left blank everything stays as it is now, but when it’s checked – customer doesn’t need to fill in his personal data, rather the company info.

    I found some tutorials on how to ADD new conditional fields but not a single one how to make conditional those which are already there.

    I’ve tried this approach in my templates functions.php but it doesn’t work and I think it requires much deeper changes ??

    function my_custom_checkout_field( $checkout ) {
	echo '<input type="my_custom_checkout_field"><h2>' . __('My Field') . '</h2>';
    woocommerce_form_field( 'my_field_name', array(
        'type'          => 'checkbox',
        'class'         => array('input-checkbox'),
        'label'         => __('Fill in this field'),
        'placeholder'   => __('Enter something'),
        ), $checkout->get_value( 'my_field_name' ));
    echo '</input>';
	echo '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"></input>';
}

add_action('woocommerce_checkout_process', 'my_custom_checkout_field_process');

function my_custom_checkout_field_process() {
    // Check if set.
    if (isset($_POST['my_field_name']))

		add_filter( 'woocommerce_billing_fields', 'wc_npr_filter_phone', 10, 1 );

		function wc_npr_filter_phone( $address_fields ) {
		$address_fields['FIELDS TO MAKE COND.']['required'] = false;
		return $address_fields;
		}
}

/**
 * Update the order meta with field value
 */

add_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_update_order_meta', 'my_custom_checkout_field_update_order_meta' );

function my_custom_checkout_field_update_order_meta( $order_id ) {
    if ( ! empty( $_POST['my_field_name'] ) ) {
        update_post_meta( $order_id, 'My Field', sanitize_text_field( $_POST['my_field_name'] ) );
    }
}

  • You will need to write a JavaScript to monitor the invoice-needed checkbox and, if changed, manipulate the other fields in the page. JavaScript runs inside the user’s browser. PHP however runs server side, at the point in time before the page is sent to the user and before the user gets to decide whether or not to click the checkbox, so php is no good for altering fields on the fly.

    Generally you’re right, but:

    <?php
if (isset($_POST['trigger'])){
$check = 'checked="checked"';
}
?>

<form action="#" method="post">
<input type="checkbox" name="checked" <?php echo $check; ?> value="Obligatory/Or not">Obligatory/Or not</input>
<input type="checkbox" name="trigger" value="Trigger">Need an invoice?</input>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>

    This is a simple form in html and php. With the second checkbox I can decide if the first checkbox is or is not obligatory.
    But so far I have no idea how to make it work in woocommerce.
