Here’s another useful PHP snippet that adds the Billing First Name and Billing Last Name to the Registration Form on the WooCommerce My Account page.
This is a great first step. If you learn to add these simple text fields, you can then add any custom input field to the form such as dropdowns, radio buttons, checkboxes – and link these to the relevant WooCommerce/WordPress user fields. Enjoy!
