Add States and Cities to WooCommerce (Provincia, Cantones)

This is a simple guide about how to add States, Cities, and Postcodes relationship to WooCommerce by Country, using the plugin WC Provincia Canton Distrito. This requires access to the source code of your site and minimal knowledge of coding.

Step #1

Copy the main json file from /assets/js/prov-cant-dist.json to /your-theme/assets/js/prov-cant-dist.json. If you don’t need it on this location, you can use the filter wcpcd_prov_cant_dist_json to move it to your custom location.

Map your states to WooCommerce in relation to your country. This is required to become the state field on the Checkout as a dropdown. Based on the same example of Ecuador, you need to use the filter woocommerce_states.

function kmchild_wc_states($states) {
	$states['EC'] = array(
		'A' => 'Azuay',
		'B' => 'Bolívar',
		'P' => 'Pichincha'
	);

	return $states;
}
add_filter('woocommerce_states', 'kmchild_wc_states');
