M2.2 Remove Address Information from Checkout process

[ruphus_roger]

Hello Forum,

I finally managed to get a first testing version of M2.2 CE running and I am quite happy with the software. Now I am faced with a problem, which google could not completely get me through .. or better to say, I wonder if there might be an easier way to handle that task:

I want to remove the necessity for the customer to enter his billing and shipping adresses at all. My shop will sell virtual products only and only for one certain software. So I do not really care about the customers address and I do not want him to need to enter any address information. I am fine with his name and e-mail (only accepting paypal/credit card and cryptos)

Can anyone assist me to tackle that task?

Cheers

Hi @ruphus_roger

Magento 2 have a default virtual type product.

Just create the virtual product from Admin->Catalog->Product

For the virtual product, you don't need billing and shipping address. Magento just ask for email address and payment to place an order.

Thank you Prince Patel,

I just realized that e.g. PayPal checkout works without an address needed (as expected). In fact I was using a "downloadable product" already.

The problem now seems to affect only my two other payment methods (using extensions). Any idea how I can disable those address fields on those extensions?

Hi @ruphus_roger

Please check configuration settings from Admin->Stores->Configuration for third-party payment extension.

If they don't give any configuration settings to remove an address from the downloaded product then you should ask for support because this is default Magento functionality.

Hi @Prince Patel,

I guess that's not the case. Not a single payment method (not even the ones which came with magento preinstalled) let me disable the necessity of the customer address fields.
