Checkout Fields Settings

The Checkout Fields screen in FluentCart allows you to customize the form customers fill out when they complete a purchase. Here, you can enable, disable, or make fields required to ensure you collect all necessary customer and order details efficiently.

Accessing Checkout Fields Settings

Go to your WordPress dashboard, then navigate to FluentCart > Store Settings in the side menu, and select the Checkout Fields section.

Configuration Options

The settings are organized into three sections, allowing you to control which fields appear during the checkout process.

1. Basic Info

This section includes essential fields for customer identification.

• Full Name: A system-required field to capture the customer’s name. This field cannot be disabled.
• Email Address: A system-required field used for order confirmations and communication. This field cannot be disabled.
• Company: An optional field for collecting a customer's company name. You can enable it with the toggle and make it mandatory by checking the Required box.

2. Billing Address

This section allows you to define the address fields required for billing purposes.

• Country: Displays the country field. It is enabled and required by default.

This section lets you configure the fields for the shipping address, which is crucial for physical products.

Saving Your Settings

After configuring the checkout fields, click the Save button at the bottom right of the screen to apply your changes.

Important: Toggle vs. Required

Always understand the two options available for most fields:

• Toggle Switch: Use this to make a field visible or hidden on your checkout page.
• Required Checkbox: If a field is toggled on, checking this box forces the customer to fill it out before completing their purchase. If unchecked, the field is optional.
