Magento – Magento 2 How to remove billing address

The billing address is and should be required for each transaction, but forcing the billing and shipping address to be the same is possible without too much modification to the checkout process.

The example below creates a configuration option to force the same shipping and billing address for non-virtual orders.

Adds plugin for forcing the address match server-side and the checkout config provider for the knockout templates.

The modified billing address template will now display based on the value of window.checkoutConfig.pmclain_customeraddress.allow passed from the checkout config provider.

Pmclain\CustomerAddress\view\frontend\web\template\shipping.html

The only change from the original shipping address and method template below is the updated address section header text when the shipping and billing addresses must be the same. Overriding the entire template for such a small change seems heavy handed and is only needed for giving users a visual indicator that only one address will be allowed.

  <div class="step-title" data-role="title">
