Add a Custom Checkout
In this example we will walk through adding a Gift Recipient field when the category of the product is “gift”
1. From the plugins page click on the Settings link under WooCommerce Custom checkout Fields
2. Make sure the “Enabled” checkbox is checked.
3. To add a new custom checkout press Add Checkout Field group
4. Add a title that describes the checkout group. This is not shown to customers and is only seen by site administrators.
5. Add Custom Checkout conditions
Press “Add Condition Group” then “Add Condition”. For this example the condition will be “Product Category” and we set it to equal to “gift”.
6. Add field to Other Fields
We want this field to show after the Order Notes field. Scroll down to the Other Fields meta box and press Add field.
Fill out the ID, Label, and Placeholder fields. The default Type is Textbox and this can be left alone. Check the Show in email checkbox to add the field to the customer’s order emails.
7. Press Publish to save the settings
8. Test the checkout field by adding a product with category of “gift” to the cart. The field will now show on the checkout page under the Order Notes! ?
