You can customize the appearance of your WooCommerce checkout page using the WordPress Customizer. This allows you to control which fields are visible, and set privacy and terms policies for your customers.
⚠️ Important:
The section Customizing ▸ WooCommerce ▸ Checkout will only be available if your checkout page contains the classic[woocommerce_checkout]shortcode.
If you’re using the new WooCommerce Checkout Block, these options won’t appear in the Customizer.
