When the cart contains multiple products, the strictest rule wins automatically. > ⚠ **Independent third-party add-on.** This plugin is developed and maintained > entirely by Adviespraktijk OCW. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Automattic, > Inc. “WooCommerce” is a trademark of Automattic, Inc., used here purely to describe > what this add-on integrates with. > ⚠ **Requires WooCommerce.** The plugin filters WooCommerce checkout fields. Without > WooCommerce active, the plugin has nothing to operate on — WordPress refuses to > activate it via the `Requires Plugins: woocommerce` header. #### Free features * Set each WooCommerce checkout field per product to: Required, Optional, Hidden or Default * Works for billing, shipping and order-notes fields (21 standard Woo fields covered) * Multi-product cart: strictest rule wins (Required > Optional > Hidden > Default) * Quick actions: set all fields with a single click * HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) compatible * Cart & Checkout Blocks compatible * Tutorial submenu with progress detection — auto-opens on activation * Clean OCW house-style admin UI (teal / navy / pink) #### PRO features * **Custom fields per product** — add text, email, phone, textarea, dropdown or checkbox fields beyond Woo’s standard set. Saved as order item meta, automatically visible in admin order screen + customer emails. * **Conditional logic** — “show field X when field Y equals value Z”. Lightweight JS rule engine on the checkout, no flicker. * **Per-category settings** — configure checkout rules for an entire product category. Per-product overrides still win, category fills the gaps. * **Field validation patterns** — built-in presets (Dutch postcode, KVK 8-digit, EU VAT, IBAN, Dutch phone) or your own regex. Runs server-side on `woocommerce_checkout_process`. * **Configuration templates** — save the full checkout-fields configuration of a product as a named template (standard field statuses, custom fields, conditional logic, validation rules) and apply it to any other product in one click. Manage all templates from a dedicated submenu. * **Automatic updates** via the OCW License Server. * **Priority support** from Onne at OCW. PRO is sold separately at [onlinecursuswebsites.nl/product/ocw-checkout-logic-pro](https://onlinecursuswebsites.nl/product/ocw-checkout-logic-pro/). #### Typical use cases * **Digital products** — hide all shipping fields, keep only email and name * **B2B products** — make company name required, add a VAT-number field (PRO) * **Gift cards** — hide address fields, make order notes required * **Event tickets** — hide shipping, require phone, validate it (PRO) #### Requirements * WordPress 6.0 or higher * WooCommerce 6.0 or higher * PHP 8.0 or higher ## Screenshots [⌊"Checkout fields" tab on the product edit screen⌉⌊"Checkout fields" tab on the product edit screen⌉[ “Checkout fields” tab on the product edit screen [⌊Tutorial submenu with progress detection⌉⌊Tutorial submenu with progress detection⌉[ Tutorial submenu with progress detection [⌊License & PRO submenu with feature grid⌉⌊License & PRO submenu with feature grid⌉[ License & PRO submenu with feature grid [⌊Checkout with product-specific field configuration⌉⌊Checkout with product-specific field configuration⌉[ Checkout with product-specific field configuration [[ ## Installation 1.

No. This is an independent third-party add-on developed and maintained by Adviespraktijk OCW. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Automattic, Inc. “WooCommerce” is a trademark of Automattic, Inc., used here purely to describe what this add-on integrates with. ### Does this work with multiple products in the cart? Yes. The plugin applies the strictest rule: Required wins over Optional, which wins over Hidden, which wins over Default. ### Can I add custom fields beyond Woo’s standard set? Yes — that is one of the PRO features. The free version only configures the 21 standard Woo checkout fields. ### Does it work with the WooCommerce Checkout Block? The free field control (required / optional / hidden per product) works on both the classic checkout and the Cart & Checkout Blocks, including server-side enforcement on the Blocks (Store API) route. The PRO features custom fields, conditional logic and validation patterns currently apply to the classic checkout shortcode only. ### Is it HPOS-compatible? Yes, fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage. ### Do extra database queries run on the checkout page? No. Settings are cached in the WordPress object cache. ### How does the PRO license work? After purchase you receive a license key by email. Paste it in **Checkout Fields License & PRO**. All PRO features unlock immediately, automatic updates start flowing through the OCW License Server. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “OCW Checkout Logic for WooCommerce” is open source software.

Custom fields, conditional logic and validation rules are preserved. * **Fixed: a field set to “Required” (e.g. Company name) now appears on the Cart& Checkout Blocks checkout.** Company, Address line 2 and Phone are hidden by WooCommerce’s own global settings and weren’t being forced visible per product. The plugin now sets them visible + required in the country locale when a product requires them, while keeping the existing relaxation for hidden/optional fields. #### 2.4.1 * **Fixed: the Field order page would not let you drag fields, and rendered unstyled.** The admin page hook suffix was guessed (`ocwcl_page_…`) instead of the value WordPress actually generates from the menu title (`checkout-fields_page_…`), so the drag-and-drop script and the admin stylesheet were never loaded there. Page hooks are now captured from `add_submenu_page()` directly. This also restored the styling on the License & PRO page and the rename/delete buttons on the Templates management page. * Field order page restyled: each field is a clearly bordered card with a teal accent, hover highlight and a lift effect while dragging. #### 2.4.0 * **Blocks checkout: real server-side field handling.** Hidden/optional fields are now relaxed via the `woocommerce_get_country_locale` filter (drives both the Store API and the React client validation), and per-product required fields are enforced server-side on the Store API checkout route. Previously, hidden required fields on the Blocks checkout were worked around by injecting a space character into the input — which wrote junk into order address data. That hack is removed. * Hidden fields are blanked on Blocks orders (autofill could still populate a field the shopper never saw). Country and email are never blanked — they drive tax/ shipping totals and the order confirmation. * New `uninstall.php` — removes all plugin options, transients, product/category/ user meta and cron events on deletion. Order item meta (custom field values) is deliberately preserved as part of order history. * Generated `languages/ocw-checkout-logic.pot` (96 strings) — the languages folder previously shipped without a template. * PRO validation errors now show the field label instead of the raw field key ( e.g. “Postcode” instead of “billing_postcode”). * Product-page bulk-action strings (confirm/notification) are now translatable via `wp_localize_script` — they were hardcoded Dutch. * Classic checkout required-field error message translated to English source text per i18n policy. * readme.txt: short description trimmed to the 150-char limit, stale “WooCommerce Checkout Fields License” menu path corrected to “Checkout Fields License & PRO”, honest Blocks-support scoping in the FAQ (PRO custom fields / conditional logic/ validation are classic-checkout only). * Compatibility: `Tested up to: 7.0`, `WC tested up to: 10.8`. #### 2.3.0 * **Renamed from “Checkout Fields for Woo” to “OCW Checkout Logic for WooCommerce”** following WordPress.org plugin-directory naming review — the new name leads with a distinctive identifier (OCW) and places the trademark “WooCommerce” at the end after “for”, as required by the trademark guidelines. * New slug: `ocw-checkout-logic`. New text domain: `ocw-checkout-logic`. * All internal `WCPCF_*`, `WC_Product_Checkout_Fields` and `CFFW_*` symbols renamed to `OCWCL_*` — eliminates the reserved `wc_` prefix flagged by the plugin reviewer. * Added `Requires Plugins: woocommerce` header so WordPress now checks for WooCommerce automatically before activating. * Removed the manual `load_plugin_textdomain()` call — WordPress.org auto-loads translations from the plugin slug since WP 4.6. * Independent-add-on disclaimer now visible in the plugin header description, the Plugins-list row meta, the readme.txt short description, the Description prologue, the FAQ, and the Tutorial / License & PRO / Field order page headers — to make the unaffiliated status unambiguous on every surface. #### 2.2.3 * WordPress.org plugin-directory readiness: - Added `License: GPLv2 or later` and `License URI: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/ gpl-2.0.html` headers to the main plugin file (scanner flagged `plugin_header_no_license`). - Synced license format between plugin header and `readme.txt` — both now say` GPLv2 or later` (was `GPL v2 or later` in readme, missing in header). Fixes` license_mismatch`. - Bumped `Tested up to` from 6.8 to 6.9 in both plugin header and readme. Fixes` outdated_tested_upto_header`. - Added `languages/index.php` placeholder so the `Domain Path: /languages` header points to an existing folder. Fixes `plugin_header_nonexistent_domain_path`. #### 2.2.2 * **Fix: Hidden status now also works on builder-rendered checkout pages.** In 2.2.1 the wrapper-hide CSS was only injected on Woo’s officially-configured Checkout page (`is_checkout()` returned true). Many sites place the Woo checkout form somewhere else via a page builder — Elementor’s WooCommerce Checkout widget on the cart page is the textbook case. On those pages our CSS never loaded, so the labels stayed visible. The `is_checkout()` gate is removed; the rule (`.ocwcl- hidden-field { display: none !important; }`) is now injected on every front-end page. Safe because the class only ever exists where our filter has already done its work. * Blocks checkout: same gate-widening — `inject_blocks_checkout_css` now runs on both cart and checkout pages so Blocks-on-cart-page setups are covered too. #### 2.2.1 * **Fix: Hidden status now actually hides the field row** at checkout. Previously the input was hidden but its label stayed visible — labels like “Country / Region( optional)” or “Street address” still showed up because no CSS rule was hiding the wrapper. Fixed by injecting one inline CSS rule `.ocwcl-hidden-field { display: none !important; }` on every checkout page. Works for the classic shortcode checkout, Elementor’s WooCommerce Checkout widget and any other widget/builder that renders fields through `woocommerce_form_field()`. * Cleaned up the now-redundant inline `display:none` style that was attached to each hidden input — the wrapper CSS makes it obsolete. #### 2.2.0 * **Site-wide checkout field order** (free) — new `Checkout Fields Field order` submenu lets you drag the 21 standard Woo checkout fields into a custom order across three lists (billing / shipping / order). Applies to the classic checkout via the `woocommerce_checkout_fields` filter. The per-product Checkout fields tab tables also follow this order, so admins see the same layout they’ll get at checkout. * PRO: **Drag-and-drop reordering** of rows in the Custom fields, Conditional logic and Field validation panels. Grab the ≡ handle on the left of any row to reorder. * PRO: **Custom fields Options** input now grays out and gets a “— only used for Dropdown —” placeholder whenever Type ≠ Dropdown. The value is retained in case you switch back to Dropdown, but the input is read-only and visually muted. #### 2.1.3 * PRO: **Fixed broken “+ Add” buttons in empty PRO panels.** The “+ Add custom field”, “+ Add condition” and “+ Add validation rule” buttons silently did nothing on a product that didn’t already have at least one row — the JS tried to clone the last existing row but there wasn’t one. Each PRO panel now ships a hidden HTML template, and the add-row handlers fall back to that template when the tbody is empty. #### 2.1.2 * PRO Fix: License activation now uses the response from `/activate` directly — successful activation immediately writes the valid status and you no longer rely on a separate `/validate` roundtrip * PRO Fix: Specific activation errors (wrong slug, expired, max activations, server unreachable) are stored in option `ocwcl_pro_last_error` and shown under the License Key field instead of a generic “Inactive” * PRO: Stores `sites_used` and `sites_limit` from the server response on the cached status object #### 2.1.1 * Admin menu reorganized — “Checkout Fields” is now its own top-level item in the WP admin sidebar, positioned directly below WooCommerce. Tutorial, License & PRO, and Templates (PRO) live as submenus underneath it. Old WooCommerce submenu entries removed. * Menu icon: WP `dashicons-feedback` (form-style icon). * Pre-existing styling miss fixed: `admin.css` now loads on the Tutorial and License& PRO pages too (previously only on product edit screens), so the OCW house-style finally renders everywhere. #### 2.1.0 * PRO: **Configuration templates** — save the full checkout-fields configuration of a product as a named, reusable template (standard field statuses, custom fields, conditional logic, validation rules). Apply any saved template to another product in one click. New “Checkout Fields Templates” submenu under WooCommerce for rename/ delete. * New AJAX endpoints `ocwcl_template_save`, `ocwcl_template_apply`, `ocwcl_template_rename`,` ocwcl_template_delete` (all `manage_woocommerce` + nonce-protected). * Stored as site option `ocwcl_pro_templates` (autoload off). * License & PRO page now lists “Configuration templates” as a sixth PRO feature. #### 2.0.0 * Renamed to “OCW Checkout Logic for WooCommerce” (was “Woo Product Checkout Fields”) to comply with the Woo trademark naming rule. New slug: `ocw-checkout-logic`. * Single-codebase architecture (free + PRO from the same source). PRO ships as its own zip with `/includes/pro/`. * All admin strings translated from Dutch to English (Dutch translations available via `/languages/`). * New Tutorial submenu with progress detection and reset button. Auto-opens on first activation. * New License & PRO submenu — paste your license key, see active features at a glance. * OCW house-style admin design (teal / navy / pink, Apple-style cards). * PRO: custom fields per product (text/email/phone/textarea/dropdown/checkbox). * PRO: conditional logic — “show field X when field Y equals Z”. * PRO: per-category settings on `product_cat` terms. * PRO: field validation patterns (Dutch postcode, KVK, EU VAT, IBAN, Dutch phone, custom regex). * PRO: automatic updates via the OCW License Server. * Plugin header bumped to `Requires at least: 6.0`, `Tested up to: 6.8`, `Requires PHP: 8.0`. * `OCWCL_*` constants kept as back-compat aliases for `OCWCL_*`. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release * Per-product checkout field control (Required / Optional / Hidden / Default) * Billing, shipping and order-notes fields * Quick bulk actions per product page * HPOS and Blocks compatibility declared ## Meta * Version **2.5.1** * Last updated **2 weeks ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0** * PHP version ** 8.0 or higher ** * Tags * [checkout](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/checkout/)[fields](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/fields/) [product](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/product/)[woocommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/woocommerce/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ocw-checkout-logic/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
