Checkbox for over 18's item

[timaversa]

Hi All, 

We are a company selling crockery, cutlery, glassware, etc. As we are selling chef's knives also, is there a way to add a checkbox on the check out page to confirm the person purchasing is over 18 years old?

Hey, @timaversa. Welcome to the Community!

Adding a checkbox to the Checkout is not an available customization, however adding a checkbox to your Cart page is! There are two ways to go about doing it:

1. Customize your theme code to include it on the Cart page so that your customers must agree to it before being able to proceed to the checkout. The steps for this customization are found in the tutorial for Cart-Add an ‘Agree to terms and conditions’ checkbox. If you need assistance with it, please reach out to a Shopify Expert.
2. Use a third party app from the Shopify App Store. You can either use one built specifically for Age Verification or use one for accepting your Terms and Conditions. Most apps do have a free trial period, so feel free to use that time to install the app and see if it works as needed. Just remember to uninstall it before the trial ends if you decide it is not for you. More information about working with third party apps is found in this Help Doc.

Let me know if you have any further questions!

Thank you so much Helen, that has worked perfectly for us!  

I do have another question about something not related to the check box, should I start a new thread if it helps someone else, or ask on here? Thank you again, you all have been amazing so far, and we're very excited to launch our new sales website!

That’s great, @timaversa! I’m so happy to hear we were able to find a solution for you. Out of curiosity, was it an app, or the theme code customization that worked better for you?

I apologize for the delay in response here. Starting a new thread for another question would be most beneficial, just in case there is someone else out there who has a similar inquiry. Thanks for being so considerate! Did you already create a new post? If you haven’t, or have yet to receive an answer to it, please do let me know and I’d be happy to look into it for you as well.

Hi  timaversa,

There is a Shopify app that provides you with the facility to verify the age of the users of your page. 

That app will allow you to select a specific collection to show the age verification pop up on. so, you can ensure the person buying is over 18 years old.
