free ecommerce plugin for wordpress

hi,

anyone knows a free ecommerce plugin for wordpress WHICH allows me to disable the fields on the checkout page?

I tried every possible free ecommerce plugin that I could get my hands on and I still can't believe that none of them has this option.

I am already angrily desperate (if that's even possible) to find a plugin that allows me to get rid of those useless address/telephone/country/etc fields, but I don't know where to look anymore.

I spent the last 2 days playing with woocommerce and when I was just getting the hang of it and was finally learning how to customize everything to my liking I got to the checkout page with all those idiot fields on it and I just remembered why I quit building an ecommerce site... two times already.

I don't need customer's address, street, telephone, country and other crap to allow them to download products (yes, I am dealing with downloadable products, which is why I need all those fields GONE)

If anyone knows of such a plugin, please let me know as I really need to have this thing solved at once. And please don't give me the "if you want a good product buy it!"

If I could afford a paid plugin I'd buy it without giving it a second thought. But I can't. I am flat broke (some of a marketer, I know)

      Thanks Janet. I will take a good look at it after I wake up.
      It looks OK at a first glance

        I would stick with WooCommerce, it is very much the best out there.

        Take a look at this tutorial (not mine so I can't take credit):

        How to Edit and Disable Checkout Fields in Woocommerce | ASchroder.com

        I have not tried it to see if it works, but reading through it seems logical and correct.

        I am sure you are right there maybe call for this feature or a plugin for WooCommerce that allows you to disable address/shipping/payment details. However, you would only be able to use those if you were not using credit card payment gateways as credit cards are verified against address details.

        Paypal or non-payment style shops there would be no reason why this feature would not work.

          Thanks man but I will stick to EesyDigitalDownloads. I am already getting used to it and it really is what I was looking for.

          I did take a look at your recommendation however and I can see that I have to deal with coding to make it work. Which to me is a minus. Thanks anyway for your trouble
