How to move telephone field in Checkout for Magento 2 sites?

In this post, I will be guiding you on how to move one of the shipping address fields in the checkout

Let’s do it

In your module root directory

You will have to create/update the di.xml file in frontend directory of your module:

<type name="Magento\Checkout\Block\Onepage">
   <arguments>
       <argument name="layoutProcessors" xsi:type="array">
           <item name="phoneNumberFieldChange" xsi:type="object">Aureatelabs\CheckoutDemo\Block\Checkout\LayoutProcessor</item>
       </argument>
   </arguments>
</type>

Then create a LayoutProcessor class using below contents

Path for the class: app/code/Aureatelabs/CheckoutDemo/Block/Checkout/LayoutProcessor.php

<?php
namespace Aureatelabs\CheckoutDemo\Block\Checkout;
class LayoutProcessor implements \Magento\Checkout\Block\Checkout\LayoutProcessorInterface {
    public function process($jsLayout) {
        // print_r($jsLayout) // for debug purpose
        $customAttributeCode = 'custom_field';
        $customField = ['component' => 'Magento_Ui/js/form/element/abstract', 'config' => [
        // customScope is used to group elements within a single form (e.g. they can be validated separately)
        'customScope' => 'shippingAddress.custom_attributes', 'customEntry' => null, 'template' => 'ui/form/field', 'elementTmpl' => 'ui/form/element/input', 'tooltip' => ['description' => 'this is what the field is for', ], ], 'dataScope' => 'shippingAddress.custom_attributes' . '.' . $customAttributeCode, 'label' => 'Custom Attribute', 'provider' => 'checkoutProvider', 'sortOrder' => 15, 'validation' => ['required-entry' => true], 'options' => [], 'filterBy' => null, 'customEntry' => null, 'visible' => true, 'value' => ''
        // value field is used to set a default value of the attribute
        ];
        $jsLayout['components']['checkout']['children']['steps']['children']['shipping-step']['children']['shippingAddress']['children']['shipping-address-fieldset']['children'][$customAttributeCode] = $customField;
        if (isset($jsLayout['components']['checkout']['children']['steps']['children']['shipping-step']['children']['shippingAddress']['children']['shipping-address-fieldset']['children']['telephone'])) {
            $jsLayout['components']['checkout']['children']['steps']['children']['shipping-step']['children']['shippingAddress']['children']['shipping-address-fieldset']['children']['telephone']['sortOrder'] = 1;
        }
        return $jsLayout;
    }
}

After the module is updated with the above files then you must clear Magento cache obviously to update the di.xml

Now visit the checkout page and you will see 2 fields are added to the checkout page

Screenshots

Let’s check the screenshot of both default and IWD checkout first:

Default Magento 2 Checkout

IWD checkout

FAQ

  1. Will it be compatible with Third-party Checkout extensions?
    • Yes, I have tested on IWD checkout, firecheckout
  2. Will it be compatible with the any Magento 2 version?
    • Yes

Advantages of this approach:

  1. No need to override base checkout_index_index.xml in theme/module
  2. No need to worry about third-party checkout extensions
  3. No to flush Magento cache once setup
  4. You can design Checkout page in less time

Must have skills to customize checkout page

  1. PHP – array functions
  2. XML – di.xml
  3. Knockout Js – to understand core component js
  4. Worked on CustomerData, UiRegistry, etc. core components used on checkout page of Magento 2
  5. Use chrome KnockoutJs plugin to identify the Js used for a particular element: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/knockoutjs-context-debugg/oddcpmchholgcjgjdnfjmildmlielhof
