International Shipping Address Format/ Fields

[jkthng]

For shipping addresses, Woocommerce currently supports the current fields:

• Name
• Surname
• Company name
• Address 1
• Address 2
• Town/City
• Postcode/ Zip
• Country
• State/Country
• Email Address
• Phone

For international shipping address, the above fields are not suitable. Is there any plans to customize the available address format/ fields based on the country selected?

For my use case, I would like to:

• Remove "Address 2" fields. Change "Address 1" into a textarea
• Remove "Postcode/ Zip" fields (There are multiple countries without postal code http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/462.page)
• Remove "State/ Country" fields

In addition, I would like to:

• Change "Town/City" field to become a select list, and pre-load it based on which country is selected

Hope that you can guide me through the process on how to achieve partial (or full) functionality described above by writing a custom plugin.

Thank you!

We already handle locales which don't have postcodes and other required fields - if we're missing your country let us know the details so we can add it. We also handle address formats based on country. See the countries class.

As for changes such as modifying labels and inputs there are hooks available. I cannot code this for you so you may want to hire someone to make the changes.

Same for Town/City - custom functions and hooks should be able to do this (although this one may be a little more complicated).

Doing some testing for address validation and the case of the country of Togo came up. Currently they do not have a postal code system, yet WC requires it on the address. Needing to go into the child-theme functions.php and set the "required" value to false.

Just letting you know as per the post above.
