How to add a signature on delivery option at checkout?

[MrCollectable]

Hi everyone, I hope where ever you are, you are having a beautiful festive holiday. 

I was wondering is there an option to add at the checkout page "signature on delivery"?

And when the customer selects this option, their order automatically tags in the shopify backend system?

Thanks!

@MrCollectable  If you have Shopify Plus you can modify the checkout area and include a box. If not on plus you can put that on the product page or cart page.

To automatically tag the order, you could have that checkbox add a line item property to the product (if adding on the product page), or an order note (if adding on the cart page). Then you can use  the app Order Automator to identify those type of orders and tag them. I think you could probably use Shopify Flow too, if you have it with your plan.

@JoesIdeas We have Shopify Plus.  How do we include a checkbox in the checkout area?

Look for a theme file in your theme editor called something like checkout.liquid. If you don't have it yet, you can contact your Shopify rep to add that in.

Once that's ready, you can have a developer edit that file to modify your checkout, for example adding a checkbox or any content you'd like.

You'd have to experiment to be sure, but I think you can add a javascript to the checkout box that gets passed into the order data, from there you can read that order data to tag the order (using an app or Flow).

Here's the cart API where you can modify the cart, for example with an attribute or note: https://shopify.dev/docs/api/ajax/reference/cart

Can I know if it can be done without Shopify Plus?

Right? What small business can afford $2K a month for a feature they have to program? Plus is ridiculously over priced for what you get.

I guess if you're making $500,000 in sales monthly (I'm not), it would be worth the 2.25% processing fees vice 2.7% .. but only then. So, I'll stick with my $64 a month, ship worldwide, and keep more of my money.  If I need a fancy report, I'll pay $15 to Report Pundit.
