Wow, I didn’t expect such a fast response. nice.

Yeah there are many german laws in e-commerce that make you probably laugh. The highlight of all laws is probably the new “button solution”. There you have to change the complete layout of the checkout page. You also have to remove the colours of any elements (such as tooltips, or whatever) and highlight (only!) the order summary (the cart), you also have to change the order of the checkout page and other stuff. It’s crazy.

And the law with the IP address is the general data privacy protection law, where we have to avoid saving the IP addresses. It’s allowed to anoynmize them by cutting the last bytes, but the original, unchanged IP address shall not be saved.

I tried to make an Hook according to your suggestions:

function removeIPFromCheckoutMeta() {
update_post_meta( $order_id, __( ‘Customer IP Address’, ‘woocommerce’ ), ” ” );
}
add_action( ‘woocommerce_checkout_update_order_meta’, ‘removeIPFromCheckoutMeta’ );

Not sure yet if it works? I’ll try it later 🙂

Thank you! You’ve been a big help, royho!
