How to Remove Field in Billing Address From Checkout in Magento 2

As an online store owner, it is your responsibility to optimize the checkout step and make it easy for the customer to complete their order.

According to Baymard, 21% of US online shoppers have abandoned an order in the past quarter solely due to a “too long/complicated checkout process”.

A complex checkout process can break a sale and prompt customers to bounce to your competitor.

In order to avoid such things in Magento 2 store, remove the extra fields that are unnecessary for your business.

For example, if you are offering a downloadable product type, you can afford to remove the city field. Downloadable products need not get delivered to a physical address.

Depending on the business requirements, you may skip collecting customer details on the checkout that are not necessary for marketing purpose or for order completion.

The programmatic solution to remove field in billing address from checkout in Magento 2 is given below using layoutprocesser.

Solution to Remove Field in Billing Address From Checkout in Magento 2:

1. Create di.xml file at app/code/vendor/Exenstion/etc/frontend
   
   <? xml version = "1.0"?> <config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd"> <type name="Magento\Checkout\Block\Checkout\LayoutProcessor"> <plugin name="remove_checkout_billing_address_fields" type="vendor\Exenstion\Plugin\Checkout\BillingAddressLayoutProcessor" sortOrder="1"/> </type> </config>

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

   <? xml version = "1.0"?>   <config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"         xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">       <type name="Magento\Checkout\Block\Checkout\LayoutProcessor">         <plugin name="remove_checkout_billing_address_fields"                 type="vendor\Exenstion\Plugin\Checkout\BillingAddressLayoutProcessor" sortOrder="1"/>     </type>   </config>

2. Create BillingAddressLayoutProcessor.php file at app/code/vendor/Exenstion/Plugin/Checkout
   
   <?php namespace vendor\Exenstion\Plugin\Checkout; use Magento\Checkout\Block\Checkout\LayoutProcessor; class BillingAddressLayoutProcessor { public function afterProcess( LayoutProcessor $subject, array $result ) { $this->result = $result; $billingConfiguration = &$this->result['components']['checkout']['children']['steps']['children']['billing-step'] ['children']['payment']['children']['payments-list']['children']; if (isset($billingConfiguration)) { foreach ($billingConfiguration as $key => &$billingForm) { if (!strpos($key, '-form')) { continue; } if ($billingForm['children']['form-fields']['children']['remove_field']) { unset($billingForm['children']['form-fields']['children']['city']); } } } return $this->result; } }

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35

   <?php   namespace vendor\Exenstion\Plugin\Checkout;   use Magento\Checkout\Block\Checkout\LayoutProcessor;     class BillingAddressLayoutProcessor {     public function afterProcess(         LayoutProcessor $subject,         array $result     )     {         $this->result = $result;             $billingConfiguration = &$this->result['components']['checkout']['children']['steps']['children']['billing-step']         ['children']['payment']['children']['payments-list']['children'];           if (isset($billingConfiguration)) {             foreach ($billingConfiguration as $key => &$billingForm) {                 if (!strpos($key, '-form')) {                     continue;                 }                 if ($billingForm['children']['form-fields']['children']['remove_field']) {                     unset($billingForm['children']['form-fields']['children']['city']);                 }               }         }         return $this->result;     }   }

   In the above code, make changes in ‘remove_field’ to remove the desired field based on your requirement.

That’s it.
