Keep Billing Fields but how to clear Ship To fields

    Hello Woo People,

    I will often have customers who ship to many different locations.
    When they checkout, their data is pre-filled in on the checkout form.

    I am using this code now: (in my child functions theme)
    add_filter('woocommerce_checkout_get_value','__return_empty_string',10);
    This clears everything! Even the States drop down selection from being a dropdown.

    Is there anything else I could do differently to keep the pre-filled data on the billing side, but clear the shipping side of the form?

    Thanks in advance,
    – Spank

  • Hi,
    Would this post help?
    https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/tutorial-customising-checkout-fields-using-actions-and-filters/

    According to this, you could use the filter woocommerce_shipping_fields instead of woocommerce_checkout_get_value.

    If that doesn’t work, this user on stackoverflow seems to have had a similar problem and a working solution.

    Hope one of these help.

    Thanks Menaka,
    Stackoverflow’s solution kept giving me the catastrophic blank white screen.
    The woo help page is just info to edit the field text, not really clear it.
    Then again, i might just be overlooking an answer.

    If this code clears all fields, how could I possibly change it to clear just the ship to?
    add_filter('woocommerce_checkout_get_value','__return_empty_string',10);

    I tried:
    add_filter('woocommerce_shipping_fields','__return_empty_string',10);
    but this didn’t clear anything.
    Am I missing something?

    Thanks for helping!

    Hi @spanky22,
    I tried both the solutions on my local installation. The woocommerce_shipping_fields solution did not really help.

    But the stackoverflow solution worked perfectly. Can you check it again?
    The white screen might be due to some missed/extra characters while doing copy+paste?

    Hi @menakas

    (Resolved)
    Thanks for your input. I double checked the code and it worked this time!
    Thanks so much for helping.

    For reference, this is what I used:

    /*** Remove or clear shipping fields ***/

add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_get_value', 'reigel_empty_checkout_shipping_fields', 10, 2 );
function reigel_empty_checkout_shipping_fields( $value, $input ) {
    /*
    Method 2
    put all the fields you want in an array...
    */
    $shipping_fields = array(
        'shipping_first_name',
        'shipping_last_name',
        'shipping_phone',
        'shipping_company',
        'shipping_country',
        'shipping_address_1',
        'shipping_address_2',
        'shipping_city',
        'shipping_country',
        'shipping_postcode'
    );

    if ( in_array( $input, $shipping_fields ) ) {
        $value = '';
    }

    return $value;
}
