Description
Ranau Simple Checkout provides a focused checkout for delivery stores that only need a customer phone number and delivery city before the customer chooses a shipping method.
The plugin works with WooCommerce Checkout Blocks and classic checkout. It keeps WooCommerce as the owner of the cart, shipping rates, totals, payment, and order creation.
Features:
- Required phone number and delivery city.
- One cart refresh after the customer confirms the city.
- Internal placeholders for WooCommerce fields hidden by the minimal flow.
- HPOS and Cart/Checkout Blocks compatibility declarations.
- No tracking, remote Ranau service, account, or license key.
The placeholder email uses the reserved example.invalid domain and cannot receive mail. Stores that require customer email, postal address, tax, fraud checks, or gateway address verification should not hide those fields and may use the documented filters to extend the flow.
Privacy
The plugin processes the phone number and delivery city entered during checkout and stores them through WooCommerce. It makes no external requests and adds no tracking. Store owners remain responsible for their privacy notice and retention policy.

FAQ
-
Does the plugin send data to Ranau?
-
No. The plugin does not call Ranau or any analytics service. Phone and city values are stored only through the WooCommerce customer session and order flow.
-
Why is there an internal placeholder email?
-
WooCommerce and some checkout clients expect an email-shaped value. When the shopper does not provide an email, the plugin generates a non-deliverable address under
example.invalidand marks the order with internal metadata. -
Will every payment gateway work with only city and phone?
-
No. Some gateways, tax providers, fraud tools, and carriers require a name, email, postcode, or full address. Test the complete checkout with every integration you enable.
-
Is paid support required?
-
No. All included functionality is free and open source. Optional installation, compatibility work, and custom development are available from https://ranau.uk/.
