How to add shipping_phone to checkout?

This article is applicable for our dropshipping plugins for WooCommerce, such as vidaXL and BigBuy.

Introduction #

Unfortunately there is no phone number field in the shipping address of WooCommerce. Weird, because in many countries a phone number is required by shipping countries. Besides the dropshipping suppliers vidaXL and BigBuy, also require a phone number in the shipping address. In this article we’re going to explain how to add the phone number to the checkout of the shipping address. If you’re not a developer yourself, please forward this article to your developer instead.
