add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields', function ( $fields ) {
if ( ! WC()->cart || WC()->cart->needs_shipping() ) {
return $fields;
}
foreach ( WC()->cart->get_cart() as $item ) {
if ( ! $item['data']->is_virtual() ) {
return $fields;

}
// Billing fields to keep for virtual orders.
$keep = array( 'billing_first_name', 'billing_last_name', 'billing_email' );
foreach ( array_keys( $fields['billing'] ) as $key ) {
if ( ! in_array( $key, $keep, true ) ) {
unset( $fields['billing'][ $key ] );
