<?php
/**
 * Checkout Process
 */
add_action('woocommerce_checkout_process', 'customize_checkout_field_process');
function customise_checkout_field_process() {
    // Check if the field is set, if not then show an error message. if (!
    if (!$_POST['customized_field_name']) {
        wc_add_notice(__('Please enter value.'), 'error'); }

function customise_checkout_field_update_order_meta($order_id) {

    // Add a custom field
    $fields['billing']['billing_custom_field'] = array(
        'type' => 'text', 'label' => __(()
        'label' => __('Custom Field', 'woocommerce'),
        'placeholder' => _x('Enter something here...' , 'placeholder', 'woocommerce'),
        
        'class' => array('form-row-wide'),
        'clear' => true, .
    ).
    // Remove a field (e.g., billing company)
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_company']);; // Remove a field (e.g., billing company).
    return $fields.
}
add_filter('woocommerce_checkout_fields', 'custom_override_checkout_fields');

function custom_override_checkout_fields($fields) {
    // Add a custom field
    $fields['billing']['billing_custom_field'] = array(
        'type' => 'text', 'label' => __(()
        'label' => __('Custom Field', 'woocommerce'),
        'placeholder' => _x('Enter something here...' , 'placeholder', 'woocommerce'),
        
        'class' => array('form-row-wide'),
        'clear' => true, .
    ).

    // Remove a field (e.g., billing company)
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_company']);; // Remove a field (e.g., billing company).

    return $fields.
}
add_filter('woocommerce_checkout_fields', 'custom_override_checkout_fields');

function custom_override_checkout_fields($fields) {
    // Add a custom field
    $fields['billing']['billing_custom_field'] = array(
        'type' => 'text', 'label' => __(()
        'label' => __('Custom Field', 'woocommerce'),
        'placeholder' => _x('Enter something here...' , 'placeholder', 'woocommerce'),
        
        'class' => array('form-row-wide'),
        'clear' => true, .
    ).

    // Remove a field (e.g., billing company)
    unset($fields['billing']['billing_company']);; // Remove a field (e.g., billing company).

}

Step 3: Rearrange the closing fields

add_filter('woocommerce_checkout_fields', 'custom_reorder_checkout_fields');
function custom_reorder_checkout_fields($fields) {
    $fields['billing']['billing_phone']['priority'] = 10; // Move phone field up
    $fields['billing']['billing_email']['priority'] = 20; // Move email field down

}
add_filter('woocommerce_checkout_fields', 'custom_reorder_checkout_fields');

function custom_reorder_checkout_fields($fields) {
    $fields['billing']['billing_phone']['priority'] = 10; // Move phone field up
    $fields['billing']['billing_email']['priority'] = 20; // Move email field down

function custom_woocommerce_order_button_html() {
    $button_text = 'Place Order Now'; // Custom button text
    return '<button type="submit" class="button alt" name="woocommerce_checkout_place_order" id="place_order" value="' . esc_attr($button_text) . '">' . esc_html($button_text) . '</button>';
}
add_filter('woocommerce_order_button_html', 'custom_woocommerce_order_button_html');

function custom_woocommerce_order_button_html() {
    $button_text = 'Place Order Now'; // Custom button text
    return '<button type="submit" class="button alt" name="woocommerce_checkout_place_order" id="place_order" value="' . esc_attr($button_text) . '">' . esc_html($button_text) . '</button>';
}
add_filter('woocommerce_order_button_html', 'custom_woocommerce_order_button_html');

function custom_woocommerce_order_button_html() {
    $button_text = 'Place Order Now'; // Custom button text
    return '' . esc_html($button_text) . '';
}

This will modify the "place an order"The text of the button is even styled.

Step 5: Customize Checkout Page Layout

remove_action('woocommerce_checkout_order_review', 'woocommerce_order_review', 10);

remove_action('woocommerce_checkout_order_review', 'woocommerce_order_review', 10);
