In many retail markets, customers prefer to place orders with only their mobile phone number and name. Requiring an email address during checkout can create friction and reduce completed orders.

This module makes the email field optional on the Odoo 19 website checkout address page while keeping the rest of Odoo's address validation intact.

What You Get

• ✓Email becomes optional on the ecommerce checkout address form
• ✓Customers can check out with name, phone, and required address details
• ✓Invalid entered emails are still rejected by Odoo's standard validation
• ✓No fake placeholder email addresses are injected into customer records
• ✓Country, phone, street, city, zip, state, and localization rules stay active
• ✓Clean custom module implementation with no core code changes

Built For Phone-First Checkout

• Mobile-first retail: Supports customers who primarily communicate by phone or messaging apps.
• Lower checkout friction: Removes an unnecessary required field for customers who do not use email.
• Preserved data quality: Keeps email format validation whenever a customer chooses to provide one.

How It Works

Odoo 19 marks checkout fields as required from both backend address validation and a hidden frontend required-fields declaration. This module removes email from both places for the checkout address form.

The email input remains visible for customers who want to provide one. The module only removes the mandatory constraint and leaves normal Odoo validation in place.
