Here I can show you how to remove shipping address from onepage checkout and remove shipping method from onepage checkout in magento. Based on different shop and requirement we need to magento customize onepage checkout method. When site give user only product information or accept only quote request based on product then no need to show shipping address and shipping method tab from onepage checkout in magento.

If you want to removed shipping address and shipping method from onepage checkout in magento then foloe below step.

Step 1: GO to /public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/Block/Onepage/abstract.php

Replace this code

<?php
protected function _getStepCodes()
{
	return array('login', 'billing', 'shipping', 'shipping_method', 'payment', 'review');
}
?>

With

<?php 
protected function _getStepCodes()
{
	//return array('login', 'billing', 'shipping', 'shipping_method', 'payment', 'review');
	return array('login', 'billing', 'payment', 'review');
}
?>

Step 2: Then edit onepage controllers file that available in app\code\core\Mage\Checkout\controllers\OnepageController.php

<?php
protected $_sectionUpdateFunctions = array(
	'payment-method'? => '_getPaymentMethodsHtml',
	// 'shipping-method' => '_getShippingMethodsHtml',
	'review' => '_getReviewHtml',
);
?>

Also edit in saveBillingAction()

<?php
public function saveBillingAction()
{
	if ($this->_expireAjax()) {
		return;
	}
	if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
		//$postData = $this->getRequest()->getPost('billing', array());
		//$data = $this->_filterPostData($postData);
		$data = $this->getRequest()->getPost('billing', array());
		$customerAddressId = $this->getRequest()->getPost('billing_address_id', false);
		if (isset($data['email'])) {
			$data['email'] = trim($data['email']);
		}
		$result = $this->getOnepage()->saveBilling($data, $customerAddressId);
		if (!isset($result['error'])) {
			/* check quote for virtual */
			if ($this->getOnepage()->getQuote()->isVirtual()) {
				$result['goto_section'] = 'payment';
				$result['update_section'] = array(
				'name' => 'payment-method',
				'html' => $this->_getPaymentMethodsHtml()
				);
			}
			/*elseif (isset($data['use_for_shipping']) && $data['use_for_shipping'] == 1) {
				$result['goto_section'] = 'shipping_method';
				$result['update_section'] = array(
				'name' => 'shipping-method',
				'html' => $this->_getShippingMethodsHtml()
				);
				$result['allow_sections'] = array('shipping');
				$result['duplicateBillingInfo'] = 'true';
			}*/
			else {
				//$result['goto_section'] = 'shipping';
				$result['goto_section'] = 'payment';
			}
		}
		$this->getResponse()->setBody(Mage::helper('core')->jsonEncode($result));
	}
} 
?>

Step 3: Go to \app\code\core\Mage\Sales\Model\Service\Quote.php

<?php
protected function _validate()
{
	$helper = Mage::helper('sales');
	if (!$this->getQuote()->isVirtual()) {
		$address = $this->getQuote()->getShippingAddress();
		$addressValidation = $address->validate();
		
		/*if ($addressValidation !== true) {
			Mage::throwException(
			$helper->__('Please check shipping address information. %s', implode(' ', $addressValidation))
			);
		}
		$method= $address->getShippingMethod();
		$rate? = $address->getShippingRateByCode($method);
		if (!$this->getQuote()->isVirtual() && (!$method || !$rate)) {
			Mage::throwException($helper->__('Please specify a shipping method.'));
		}*/
	}
}
?>
