Hi Mikejolley,
What does the "please enter your xxx" error mean? Since we've been adding some custom fields to our checkout form I get that error.
Hope you can help me

Mike, i have the same problem as Youshah, i have made custom fields but they are not displayed in the email.
Also, i can't see them in the order list.
They are however properly stored in the database.

@stephanlenting

p.s. Mike, i've used the custom_override_checkout_fields function for the custom fields.

Hi all, i have just launched the custom checkout fields option extension. With this plugin, you can show/hide any field, change required settings, change field label name and placeholder, add custom fields and css for the checkout form and so on...

Hope this will solve all the customization problem, Cheers!

@mikejolly,

I used the code above but the custom field value was not displayed in the admin order area. I had to use
get_post_meta( $order->id, 'Refereed By', true )

@amberRrucker

Okay, I'm using this snippet to create an additional field on the single product page. I'm hooking it into woocommerce_after_single_product_summary but I need to know what to change the $checkout to. $product and $post dont work. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas. Aside from gravity forms I havent seen anything anywhere about successfully doing this.

Hi Mikejolley.
Congratulations, this is really very useful ....

Hi
How to add the fields in the admin panel?

@Roberto77

I tried this solution

add_filter( 'woocommerce_admin_billing_fields' , 'admin_field_myfield' );
function admin_field_myfield( $fields ) {
global $post;
$order_id = $post->ID;
$value=get_post_meta( $order_id , 'My Field', true);
$fields['my_field_name'] = array(
'label' => __('My Field', 'woocommerce'),
'show' => true ,
'value' => $value,
);
return $fields;
}

If you use the function $woocommerce->add_error
I have this error http://www.mysite.it/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=woocommerce_checkout Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)

Some ideas?

I am finding that the Stripe payment gateway plugin does not respect Required custom fields, although it does respect Required standard fields, while the same fields are respected fine with the PayPal payment method. Any thoughts on this?

Hi I am trying to add a shiiping email field to my checkout page and I want to have it shown on the order email as well.

After having looked around I finally came up with this code that I put in the functions.php: everything worked (I have the new field in the checkout page and I have it in the administrative panel of the orders). Still it doesn't appear on the notification email. What I did wrong?

Here below is my code

// Hook in the checkout page
add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );

// Our hooked in function - $fields is passed via the filter!

function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
$fields['shipping']['shipping_email'] = array(
'label' => __('Email', 'woocommerce'),
'placeholder' => _x('Email', 'placeholder', 'woocommerce'),
'required' => false,
'class' => array('form-row-wide'),
'clear' => true
);
return $fields;
}

/* Save Field in the DB as Order Meta Data*/

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($_POST['shipping']['shipping_email'])) {
update_post_meta($order_id, 'Shipping email', esc_attr($_POST['shipping']['shipping_email']));
}
}

/* display it in the Order details screen*/

add_action('woocommerce_admin_order_data_after_billing_address', 'my_custom_billing_fields_display_admin_order_meta', 10, 1);

function my_custom_billing_fields_display_admin_order_meta($order) {
echo '

' . __('Shipping email') . ':
' . get_post_meta($order->id, '_shipping_email', true) . '

';
}

/**

  • Add the field to order emails
    **/
    add_filter('woocommerce_email_order_meta_keys', 'my_woocommerce_email_order_meta_keys');

function my_woocommerce_email_order_meta_keys( $keys ) {
$keys[] = 'Shipping email';
return $keys;
}

Hello there can anyone help?
I don't know where to paste the code to display the VAT number on the checkout page.
I created a child theme and pasted the code in the fonction.php file but for some reason i get a blank page the website goes off line.

The fonction.php file in the child theme only has a code to add the confirmation password on the check out page for new users.
Could it be the reason this is not working?

Regards
Louis

Use wc_add_notice instead:

wc_add_notice( __( 'Please enter something into this new shiny field.' ), 'error' );

Worked for me.

How could I add that custom field value to order_comments? Fulfillment software won't pull in the order meta by default.

You can also used to add Email order data by using this code

add_action( "woocommerce_email_after_order_table", "custom_woocommerce_email_after_order_table", 10, 1);

function custom_woocommerce_email_after_order_table( $order ) {

    echo '<p><strong>Mobile Phone :</strong>'. get_post_meta( $order->id, "mobile_phone", true ) .'</p>';
    echo '<p><strong>Birthday :</strong>'. get_post_meta( $order->id, "birthday", true ) .'</p>';


}
