- HOW TO ADD EXTRA CUSTOM FIELDS
- on the New WooCommerce Checkout
- Blocks Like a Pro (or Not)
- ************************************
- Boom, I have the solution you can't find on your own: How to add some sweet custom fields to that checkout block of yours. So, listen up and get ready for a laughably simple guide that’ll have you adding fields like a WooCommerce wizard.
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- **Step 1: Get a Shortcode and Name It Something Cool**
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- All good solutions start with a shortcode. Name it something rad and mysterious, like `wholesale_business_details`. This is the spell you’ll cast to summon your custom fields on the checkout page.
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- **Step 2: Display Your "Business Details" in the Checkout**
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- Now, let's make those details pop up on the checkout page like they belong there. Your shortcode should check if a user is a wholesale customer (like a VIP pass) before displaying those fields. No freeloaders here.
- Hint: Create a custom form with "Business Name" and "VAT Number" fields. Use placeholders like ‘Enter your business name’ to look legit.
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- **Step 3: Validate Like Your Life Depends on It**
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- Validation time! Now, we all know some customers would skip the VAT field if they could. Force ‘em to enter their business name and VAT number—no shortcuts here.
- Make sure you add an error notice if they "accidentally" forget these fields.
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- **Step 4: Save Those Details Like a Pro Hoarder**
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- Once the checkout is done, save these new custom fields to both the user profile and order meta. Why both? Because you can, and someday you might thank yourself for it.
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- **Step 5: Sneak Business Info into the Admin Order View**
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- For that high-five moment later, show these details on the admin order page. It’ll make the info easy to find, and you get to look organized. Bonus points for bold fonts.
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- **Step 6: Display It All Again on the Account Dashboard (Why Not?)**
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- Finally, slap those business details onto the user’s account page like a badge of honor. This is for those customers who need a constant reminder that they’re wholesale and special.
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- **Step 7: Add Shortcode to Checkout Page and Laugh at Your Genius**
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- Place the [wholesale_business_details] shortcode in your WooCommerce checkout block. Stand back and admire the extra fields you magically conjured out of nowhere.
- Congratulations! You’ve just made the WooCommerce checkout a little more annoying (but a lot more useful) for your wholesale customers.
