Auto populate value fields in checkout billing/shipping area

Take a look at:

https://docs.woothemes.com/document/tutorial-customising-checkout-fields-using-actions-and-filters/

You can filter these fields.

For example:

// Hook in
add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );

// Our hooked in function - $fields is passed via the filter!
function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
     $fields['billing']['billing_first_name']['default'] = 'test';
     return $fields;
}

That should help point you in the right direction.

Hope this helps, cheers!

Thanks Scott!

That worked perfect

i’m using this:

$fields[‘billing’][‘billing_first_name’][‘default’] = $current_user->user_firstname;

but it’s not working … what am i doing wrong?

you forgot to add this:
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();

ah! thanks!

Scott!! You are good! I have been spending the whole day trying to set the value. I never knew there is this thing called ‘default’!

After the recent woo commerce updates, I am no longer able to fill the default zip code automatically. I did opened another thread for this. Anyone know how to solve this?
