How to Set Conditional Rules For WooCommerce Checkout Fields?

Display Rules allow you to show or hide checkout fields based on specific conditions. Using these rules, you can control when a field should appear on the checkout page based on cart, user roles and product, or values entered/selected in other checkout fields.
This helps you create a dynamic and personalized checkout experience for your customers.

Follow the steps below to set display rules for a checkout field:

1. Navigate to WooCommerce → Checkout Form → Classic Checkout.
2. Click Add Field to create a new field or Edit Field to modify an existing field.
3. In the popup window, open the Display Rules tab.
4. You will see two rule groups:
   • Based on cart, user roles and product: Conditions evaluated before the page loads, such as cart contents, shipping details, and user roles.
   • Based on Checkout Fields: Conditions evaluated after the page loads, based on values entered or selected in other checkout fields
     
5. Click to add a new condition.
6. Select the required condition type from the dropdown. Depending on the condition selected, additional fields will appear, such as a secondary dropdown to choose what to validate (e.g., Product, Category, Tag, Shipping Class, or Product Type) and a value field to specify the exact item. Fill in all the required fields to complete the condition.
7. Use the AND / OR operator to combine multiple conditions if needed:
   • AND – All conditions must be true.
   • OR – At least one condition must be true.
8. Click Save & Close  to apply the display rules.

Cart-based conditions allow you to show or hide checkout fields and sections depending on:

• The products added to the cart
• The cart subtotal
• The final cart total

These conditions are evaluated before the checkout page loads.

• Cart contains
• Cart not contains
• Cart only contains

• Cart subtotal equals to
• Cart subtotal greater than
• Cart subtotal less than
• Cart total equals to
• Cart total greater than
• Cart total less than

When using Cart contains, Cart not contains, or Cart only contains, you must:

1. Select the condition type
2. Choose what to validate (Product, Category, Tag, Shipping Class, or Product Type)
3. Select/Type the specific value

This condition is applied when at least one selected product exists in the cart. Cart contains can also be applied to category, tag, shipping class, or product type.

Example

Configuration:

• Condition: Cart contains
• Based On: Product
• Selected product: Hoodie (select the exact product name with correct product ID.You can see the product ID  from the store products list)

Use Case:
If the product “Hoodie” is added to the cart, the checkout will display a field such as “Enter Custom Hoodie Text”.

This condition is applied when the cart ‘Not contains’ (does not contain) the selected product (category, tag, shipping class, or product type) in the cart.

Example

Configuration:

• Condition: Cart not contains
• Based On: Category
• Selected: Shirts

Use Case:

A store shows a “Shirt Size Guide Confirmation” field only when shirts are in the cart.
If the cart does not contain any products from the “Shirts” category, the field will be hidden.

This condition is applied when the cart contains only the selected product or classification((category, tag, shipping class, or product type).

If any other product is added, the condition will not apply.

Example

Configuration:

• Condition: Cart only contains
• Based On: Category
• Selected: Hoodies

Use Case:

Show a “Wholesale Hoodie Packaging Preference” field only when the cart contains hoodies exclusively.

These conditions are based on numeric values and do not require selecting Product, Category, or Tag.

Checks whether the cart subtotal matches an exact amount.

Example

• Cart subtotal equals to → 300

Use Case:

Display a “Gift Message” field when the cart subtotal equals $300 for a fixed-price bundle or gift card purchase.

Checks whether the subtotal exceeds a specified value.

Example

• Cart subtotal greater than → 100

Use Case:

Display a “Gift Wrapping Option” field when the cart subtotal is greater than $100, offering premium services for higher-value purchases.

Checks whether the subtotal is below a specified value.

Example

• Cart subtotal less than → 50

Use Case:

Display a “Small Order Handling Fee Confirmation” field when the cart subtotal is less than $50.

Checks whether the final payable amount matches an exact value. This may include taxes and shipping depending on store configuration.

Example

• Cart total equals to → 500

Use Case:
Display a “Coupon Eligibility Confirmation” checkbox when the cart total equals $500, confirming that the order qualifies for a fixed-value promotional discount available only at that exact total.

Checks whether the final payable amount exceeds a specified value.

• Cart total greater than → 500

Use Case:

Display a “Confirm High-Value Purchase” checkbox when the cart total equals $500, requiring customers to acknowledge the order before proceeding.

Checks whether the final payable amount is below a specified value.

Example

Cart total less than → 200

Use Case:
Display a “Free Shipping Not Available” notice when the cart total is less than $200, informing customers that they need to add more items to qualify for free shipping.

Shipping weight conditions allow you to show or hide checkout fields and sections based on the total shipping weight provided for the product.

These conditions are useful when handling bulky, heavy, or special-category products that require additional instructions or charges.

Unlike product-based cart conditions, shipping weight conditions do not include a secondary selection (such as Product or Category).

You only need to select the condition type and enter a numeric weight value.

• Shipping weight equals to
• Shipping weight greater than
• Shipping weight less than

After selecting a condition, enter the weight value (for example, 5, 10, 20, etc.). The unit (kg or lbs) depends on your store settings in WooCommerce.

Shipping weight is calculated based on the weight assigned to individual products in your store and the quantities added to the cart.

To set the weight for a product, follow these steps:

1. Go to Products → All Products
2. Edit the product you want
3. Scroll to Product Data → Shipping tab
4. Enter the value in the Weight field
5. Update the product

This weight is then used by shipping methods like flat rate (with rules), table rate shipping, or carrier integrations.

This checks whether the total shipping weight of the cart matches an exact value.

Example

Configuration:

• • Condition: Shipping weight equals to
  • Value: 10

Display a “Fragile Item Packaging Confirmation” checkbox when the total order weight equals 10 kg, ensuring the warehouse applies protective packaging only for qualifying shipments.

Checks whether the total shipping weight exceeds a specified value.

Example

Configuration:

• Condition: Shipping weight greater than
• Value: 20

Use Case:

Display a “Additional Packaging Fee Acknowledgement” field when the total cart weight exceeds 20 kg, notifying customers about possible extra handling charges for safe delivery.

Checks whether the total shipping weight is below a specified value.

Example

Configuration:

• Condition: Shipping weight less than
• Value: 2

Use Case:
Display an “Eco-Friendly Packaging Preference” checkbox when the total cart weight is under 2 kg, allowing customers to opt for reduced packaging materials for small shipments.

Note:

• The weight unit (kg or lbs) depends on your WooCommerce store configuration.
• Ensure that all products have accurate weight values configured.
• If a product does not have weight assigned, shipping weight conditions may not behave as expected.

User role–based conditions allow you to show or hide checkout fields depending on the role of the logged-in user. These conditions are evaluated before the checkout page loads, since the user role is already known at that stage. This feature is useful when you want to customize the checkout experience differently for customers, wholesale buyers, or shop managers.

• User role equal to
• User role not equal to

Available roles in WooCommerce typically include:

• Administrator
• Editor
• Author
• Contributor
• Subscriber
• Customer
• Shop Manager

You can select one or multiple roles while configuring the condition.

Note:

• These conditions apply only to logged-in users.
• Guest users (not logged in) will not match any specific role.
• If multiple roles are selected, the rule will apply if any selected role matches.

The field will be shown or hidden only if the logged-in user has the selected role.

Example:
Customer-Specific Delivery Instructions

Configuration:

Condition: User role equal to

Selected Role: Customer

Use Case:
Display a “Delivery Instructions” field only for logged-in customers during checkout. This field remains hidden for administrators, shop managers, and other user roles, allowing store owners to collect additional delivery preferences only from actual customers placing orders.

The field will be shown or hidden for all users except the selected role(s).

Example:

Hide Internal Approval Field from Customers

Configuration:

Condition: User role not equal to

Selected Role: Customer

Use Case:

Display an “Internal Order Approval” field for all logged-in users except customers. This allows administrators and shop managers to add internal checkout notes during manual order processing, while keeping the field hidden from regular customers.

You can configure conditional rules for specific product variations (for example, a particular color or size of a product).
To set this up:

1. Select any primary cart condition:
   • Cart contains
   • Cart not contains
   • Cart only contains
2. In the second dropdown, select Product.
3. In the third field, select the corresponding product along with the required Variation ID using our plugin.
4. Save & Close rule configuration

The rule will then apply only to that specific product variation, not the entire product.

Example:
Color Variation Based Gift Message

Configuration:

Condition: Cart contains

Product: Hoodie – Black Color Variation (specific variation)

Use Case:

Display a “Gift Wrap Message” field only when the customer adds the Black color variation of the Hoodie to the cart. Customers purchasing other color variations will not see this checkout field.

Category-based conditions allow you to show or hide checkout fields depending on the product categories present in the cart.
This helps you apply rules to entire collections (e.g., Men, Women, Accessories, Sale) instead of configuring rules for individual products.

In WooCommerce, every product is assigned to a category, making category-based conditions reliable and widely used. For more details on managing product categories, refer to the WooCommerce Product Categories Documentation.

When configuring rules based on Category, the following primary conditions are available:

• Cart contains
• Cart not contains
• Cart only contains

After selecting one of the above, choose Category in the second dropdown and then select the desired category and save the display rule.

The rule applies if at least one product from the selected category is present in the cart.

Example:

Gift Option for Accessories Category

Configuration:

• Condition: Cart contains
• Based On: Category
• Selected Category: Accessories

Scenario:
You sell scarves, belts, and handbags under the Accessories category.

Result:
Show a “Add Gift Wrap for Accessories” checkbox when the cart contains any accessory item.

The rule applies only if the selected category is NOT present in the cart.

Example:
Warranty Option Restriction

Configuration:

Condition: Cart not contains

Based On: Category

Selected Category: Accessories

Scenario:

Extended warranty is only applicable to main products, not accessories.

Result:

Show the “Extended Warranty” option only when accessory products are not in the cart.

The rule applies only if all items in the cart belong to the selected category. If any product from another category is added, the rule will not trigger.

Example:
Accessories-Only Checkout Note

Configuration:

Condition: Cart only contains

Based On: Category

Selected Category: Accessories

Scenario:

No special handling instructions are required for accessory-only orders.

Result:
Hide the “Order Handling Instructions” field when the cart contains only Accessories products

Product tag–based conditions allow you to show or hide checkout fields depending on the product tags assigned to items in the cart.

Tags are useful for creating flexible groupings across different categories. Unlike categories, a product can have multiple tags without affecting its primary classification.

In WooCommerce, product tags are used to group products based on shared features, making them ideal for promotions, collections, seasonal campaigns, or any special attributes that span multiple categories.

For more details on managing product tags, refer to the WooCommerce Product Tags Documentation.

When configuring rules based on Product Tag, the following primary conditions are available:

• Cart contains
• Cart not contains
• Cart only contains

After selecting one of the above, choose Tag in the second dropdown and then select the required product tag.

The rule applies if at least one product with the selected tag is present in the cart.

Example:
Limited edition notice

You assign a tag: Limited Edition

Configuration:

• Condition: Cart contains
• Based On: Tag
• Selected Tag: Limited Edition

Result:
Display a “Limited Edition – No Returns Policy” acknowledgment field when a tagged product is added to the cart.

The rule applies only if the selected tag is NOT present in the cart.

Example:
Delivery Instruction Field for Regular Orders

Configuration:

Condition: Cart not contains

Based On: Tag

Selected Tag: Express Eligible

Scenario:

Express eligible products are handled through a priority shipping workflow and do not require additional delivery instructions.

Result:
Show a checkout field called “Delivery Instructions” only when the cart does not contain any products tagged as Express Eligible.

The rule applies only if all products in the cart have the selected tag. If any product without the tag is added, the condition will not trigger.

Example:
Order Review Confirmation Field

Configuration:

Condition: Cart only contains

Based On: Tag

Selected Tag: Fragile

Scenario:

Fragile items require special handling, and the store wants customers to confirm instructions only when the entire order contains fragile products.

Result:

Show a checkout field called “Handling Confirmation” only when all products in the cart have the Fragile tag.

Use tags when:

• You want flexible grouping across multiple categories.
• Products belong to different departments but share a campaign (e.g., “Black Friday”).
• You need to target seasonal or promotional collections.
• You want more precise control without restructuring categories.

• Limited Edition
• Best Seller
• Summer Collection
• Winter Wear
• Eco-Friendly
• New Arrival
• Clearance

Product Type–based conditions allow you to show or hide checkout fields depending on whether the cart contains Simple Products or Variable Products.

WooCommerce supports several product types, such as Grouped, External/Affiliate, Virtual, Downloadable, Subscription, and Bookable products. In this plugin, conditional rules based on Product Type are available for the two core product types:

• Simple Product
• Variable Product

These two types form the foundation of most WooCommerce stores.

A Simple Product is a standalone item without variations. It has no selectable options like size or color, has a single regular price (and optional sale price), and may include stock management, SKU, weight, and shipping details.

Examples:

• Leather Belt
• Wool Scarf
• Baseball Cap

Customers can only choose the quantity, there are no variation options.

A Variable Product allows customers to choose from different variations such as size, color, or style.

Each variation:

• Can have its own price
• Can have its own SKU
• Can have its own stock level
• Can have its own weight

Examples:

• Hoodie (Sizes: S, M, L; Colors: Red, Blue, Black)
• Short-sleeve Shirt (Sizes: XS–XL)

Each size/color combination is a variation under one parent product. 

Product Type conditions can be used with the following primary cart rules:

• Cart contains
• Cart not contains
• Cart only contains

After selecting one of these, choose Product Type and then select either:

• Simple Product
• Variable Product

The rule will apply to all products of the selected type.

The rule applies if the cart includes at least one product of the selected type.

Use Case:
Exchange Policy Confirmation for Fashion Items

Configuration:

Condition: Cart contains

Based On: Product Type

Selected: Variable Product

Scenario:

Your apparel store offers clothing items with multiple size options such as Dresses, kurtas, and t-shirts configured as variable products.

Result:
Display an “I Have Reviewed the Size Chart Before Ordering” checkbox during checkout whenever a variable product is present in the cart.

The rule applies only if the selected product type is not present in the cart.

Use Case:
Hide Size Guide Agreement for Accessories

Configuration:

Condition: Cart not contains

Based On: Product Type

Selected: Variable Product

Scenario:

Your fashion store sells accessories such as  belts, caps, etc as simple products without size variations.

Result:

Hide the “I Have Checked the Size Guide” checkbox when the cart does not contain any variable products.

The rule applies only if all products in the cart are of the selected type. If a different product type is added, the rule will not trigger.

Use Case:
Gift Wrap Checkout for Accessories

Configuration:

Condition: Cart only contains

Based On: Product Type

Selected: Simple Product

Scenario:

Customers purchasing only simple fashion accessories such as,wallets, and keychains are often buying gifts.

Result:

Display a “Gift Wrap This Order” checkbox only when the cart contains exclusively simple products.

Shipping class–based conditions allow you to show or hide checkout fields depending on the shipping class assigned to products in the cart.

Shipping classes are typically used to group products with similar shipping requirements, such as heavy items, fragile products, or lightweight accessories.

Shipping Class conditions can be used with:

• Cart contains
• Cart not contains
• Cart only contains

After selecting one of these, choose Shipping Class and enter the shipping class slug in the value(Third) field.

Note: You must enter the exact shipping class slug (not just the name).

To use this condition correctly, you need the shipping class slug assigned to the product.

1. Go to Products → All Products.
2. Edit a Product from the list.
3. Scroll to the Product Data section.
4. Click the Shipping tab.
5. Locate the assigned Shipping Class.
6. Next, navigate to WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping → Classes.
7. Find the corresponding Shipping Class name in the list.
8. The Shipping Class Slug will be displayed beside the Shipping Class name.

For more details on creating and managing shipping classes, please refer to the WooCommerce Shipping Class documentation.

The rule applies if at least one product in the cart belongs to the specified shipping class.

Example:
Heavy Winter Collection

You create a shipping class:

• Name: Heavy Items
• Slug: heavy-items

Assigned to winter coats and thick jackets.

Configuration:

• Condition: Cart contains
• Based On: Shipping Class
• Value: heavy-items

Result:
Display a “Heavy Item Handling Notice” field when bulky winter jackets are added to the cart.

The rule applies only if the specified shipping class is not present in the cart.

Express Shipping Message

Shipping class:

• Name: Custom Products
• Slug: custom-products

Configuration:

• Condition: Cart not contains
• Based On: Shipping Class
• Value: custom-products

Scenario:

Customized products require additional preparation time before shipping.

Result:
Show an “Express Shipping Available” message only when Custom Products are not in the cart.

The rule applies only if all products in the cart belong to the specified shipping class.

If even one product from a different shipping class is added, the rule will not trigger.

Example:
Lightweight Accessories Orders

Shipping class:

• Name: Lightweight
• Slug: lightweight

Assigned to scarves, caps, and socks.

Configuration:

• Condition: Cart only contains
• Based On: Shipping Class
• Value: lightweight

Result:
Hide bulky item warnings and heavy-shipping notices when the cart contains only lightweight products.

This option allows you to display a field based on the value entered or selected in another checkout field.

Unlike cart or product-based conditions, this setting creates dependencies between checkout fields. A field will appear only when the defined condition related to another field is satisfied.

By default, conditional display rules cannot be applied to the Country field. To use conditional logic with the Country field, you must first enable this option.

1. Navigate to the Advanced Settings tab.
2. Go to the General → Other Settings section.
3. Enable the option:
   ‘Enable display of Country field based on Conditional rules.’
4. Click Save Changes.

Once enabled, you can apply display rules to the Country field just like any other checkout field.

Use Case: Hide Country Field for Local-Only Store

A store sells and ships products only within the United States.

Since all orders are domestic, the store owner wants to:

• Automatically set the country to United States
• Hide the Country field from customers
• Display the Country field only if “Ship to a different address” is checked

The Country field stays hidden for normal orders, making checkout faster and simpler. It appears only when customers enter a separate shipping address.

Note: It is recommended not to remove the default WooCommerce Country field, as doing so may cause unexpected issues or errors on your website.

If you are selling your products only to a few countries and you don’t want to let the customer select other countries from the checkout page. Instead of deleting the default country field, you can achieve your requirement by navigating to:
WooCommerce>>Settings>>General>>General options>>Selling location(s), select the option Sell to specific countries and select the Countries as per your requirement.

By default, conditional rules cannot be applied to the State / Province field.
To configure display rules for this field, you must enable it first.

1. Navigate to the Advanced Settings tab.
2. Go to the General →Other Settings section.
3. Enable the option:
   ‘Enable display of State / Province field based on Conditional rules.’
4. Click Save changes.

Once enabled, you can apply conditional logic to the State field like any other checkout field.

Use Case: Show State Field Only for Specific Countries

Scenario:

A WooCommerce clothing store ships internationally, but courier services in the United States require state information for accurate delivery and tax calculation.

Condition Setup:

Trigger Field: Country

Operator: Value equal to

Value: United States

Action: Show State field

Result:

When customers select the United States during checkout, the State field appears so they can choose their state. For other countries where state information is not required, the field remains hidden.

This keeps the checkout clean and prevents customers from filling irrelevant information.
