If you sell downloadable/virtual products and need to simplify your WooCommerce checkout when such product type is in the Cart, you’ve come to the right place!
Here’s a simple snippet, as well as a handy mini-plugin, that checks if there are only “virtual” products in the Cart and hides all the billing fields and order notes (except name and email).
The mini-plugin also allows you to enable this for free virtual orders only, and to move the relevant billing fields under a toggle instead of removing them all together.
Enjoy!
