Hey guys;

I have an issue where not having a customer’s telephone number renders my Fedex label generation useless, so I need to force the requirement of telephone entry at login or checkout.

I’ve read that Woocommerce used to make the telephone number compulsory – is there a way to add that field as part of the required shipping or account information?

Hi there, I was able to correct this situation by using the following code that I found online in the child the functions.php: (seems to be working as desired now)

/**
* Add new register fields for WooCommerce registration.
*
* @return string Register fields HTML.
*/
function wooc_extra_register_fields() {
?>

<p class=”form-row form-row-first”>
<label for=”reg_billing_first_name”><?php _e( ‘First name’, ‘woocommerce’ ); ?> <span class=”required”>*</span></label>
<input type=”text” class=”input-text” name=”billing_first_name” id=”reg_billing_first_name” value=”<?php if ( ! empty( $_POST[‘billing_first_name’] ) ) esc_attr_e( $_POST[‘billing_first_name’] ); ?>” />
</p>

<p class=”form-row form-row-last”>
<label for=”reg_billing_last_name”><?php _e( ‘Last name’, ‘woocommerce’ ); ?> <span class=”required”>*</span></label>
<input type=”text” class=”input-text” name=”billing_last_name” id=”reg_billing_last_name” value=”<?php if ( ! empty( $_POST[‘billing_last_name’] ) ) esc_attr_e( $_POST[‘billing_last_name’] ); ?>” />
</p>

<div class=”clear”></div>

<p class=”form-row form-row-wide”>
<label for=”reg_billing_phone”><?php _e( ‘Phone’, ‘woocommerce’ ); ?> <span class=”required”>*</span></label>
<input type=”text” class=”input-text” name=”billing_phone” id=”reg_billing_phone” value=”<?php if ( ! empty( $_POST[‘billing_phone’] ) ) esc_attr_e( $_POST[‘billing_phone’] ); ?>” />
</p>

function wooc_validate_extra_register_fields( $username, $email, $validation_errors ) {
if ( isset( $_POST[‘billing_first_name’] ) && empty( $_POST[‘billing_first_name’] ) ) {
$validation_errors->add( ‘billing_first_name_error’, __( ‘Error: First name is required!’, ‘woocommerce’ ) );
