Cart - Add an 'Agree to terms and conditions' checkbox

[TyW]

Caution

This is an advanced tutorial and is not supported by Shopify. Knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Liquid is required. Consider hiring a Shopify Expert if you aren't comfortable doing the steps in the tutorial.

---

You can add an I agree with the terms and conditions checkbox to your cart page that customers must check before continuing to the checkout. If a customer doesn't check the checkbox before clicking the checkout button, an alert pop up will prevent them from continuing.

Tip: It's not possible to add the checkbox to the checkout pages. It can be added only to the cart page that exists at http://www.your-shop-URL.com/cart.

The steps for this tutorial differ depending on whether you are using a sectioned or a non-sectioned theme. A sectioned theme is a newer theme that lets you drag and drop to arrange the layout of your store's pages.

To figure out whether your theme supports sections, go to the theme's Edit code page. If there are files in the Sections directory, you are using a sectioned theme. Non-sectioned themes were released before October 2016, and do not have files in the Sections directory.

If you are using a sectioned theme, then click the Sectioned themes button and follow the instructions. If you are using an older, non-sectioned theme, then click the Non-sectioned themes button and follow the instructions.

Hi - I'm using Debut and this worked great, just one thing I can't work out - the 'font' of 'terms & conditions' is not adopting my theme font. How can I do this? Here is how it looks:

Here is the code:

Is it also possible that when the read the terms it can open in a new window rather than take them away from the checkout?

Thank you so much! It would be awesome to sort this final fixes.

[staudinger]

I had the same question as you. Have you been able to figure it out? Any help is appreciated!

Hello! I have follow the instruction and its working for me good. Thank you for this advice.  Just it is not working for ExpressPay Pal button. any sygestion?

[reibel]

Not working on Narrative theme. As others mentioned the js inserted into theme.js is simply ignored. Not sure why. Inserting the js into the file custom.js works though.

[Remoair]

Thank you! Made my day! 🙂 Was about to have a mental breakdown.. hehe

[MatthewTucker]

That worked great, thanks so much!

[goddessswag]

Hello -thank you doe this!   So I am using Brooklyn theme.  I completed your steps, "however"  since your post of 2019 - perhaps the code changed a little?

this code doesn't appear to be the same anymore 😞   I tried adding "//" in front of it, and it def didn't work.

theme.checkoutIndicator();

I WAS able to add a check box at checkout - it says: I agree with the terms and conditions.  BUT - it still allows users to click on CHECKOUT without clicking the box 😞

If you can update this line of code, that would be awesome!!!

[goddessswag]

Hi There.  This wasn't my original post.  My input here is from the last few weeks 🙂  I would say the code has changed a bit from 2019.

Hmmmm  I am not sure what else to tell you.  I wish I had something.  I would try and add the // again and make sure you save it.

I somehow got mine to work.  Maybe you can post a new thread?   Best of luck.  Sorry I can't help further.

This is what my code section looks like:

theme.checkoutIndicator = function() {
// Add a loading indicator on the cart checkout button (/cart and drawer)
theme.cache.$body.on('click', '.cart__checkout', function() {
$(this).addClass('btn--loading');
});
};

[Soissimple]

Hi,

In the brooklyn theme,  In the ajax-cart-template.liquid file, I can not find this line of code: <button type="submit" class="btn--secondary btn--full cart__checkout" name="checkout">

But instead, I found something similar : <button type="submit" class="btn--secondary btn--full cart__checkout" name="checkout">

Does it work the same way?

Thanks!

[RhiSquared]

Thank you so so much!!! This mini tutorial is so incredibly helpful and it worked like a charm! Thank you very much for providing this for all of us ♥︎

[herjourney]

Thanks! This worked great in my debut theme but I'm having an issue with adding it to the line above the checkout button. I tried adding a <p> and a <br>  right before the input tag but it doesn't seem to be working. 

<p style="float: none; text-align: right; clear: both; margin: 10px 0;">
<input style="float:none; vertical-align: middle;" type="checkbox" id="agree" />
<label style="display:inline; float:none" for="agree">
I agree with the <a href="/pages/terms-and-conditions">terms and conditions. </a>
<br>
<p></p>
</label> 


<input type="submit" name="checkout"
class="cart__submit btn btn--small-wide"
value="{{ 'cart.general.checkout' | t }}">
</div>

Did you find the solution to this problem? Would love to know if you have.

Hello, this tutorial is really helpful and I manage to add a required checkbox on my cart page.

However, the "required" field doesn't prevent the customer to proceed with checkout through the additional checkout buttons (Google Pay, Apple Pay etc). Is there any way to block the user to compile required fields before heading to the quick checkout experience?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: I was able, in the meantime, to disable the buttons until the checkbox is selected:

theme.js

$("#additional-buttons-c").addClass("div-disabled");
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('body').on('click', '[name="agree"]', function() {
    if ($('#agree').is(':checked')) {
      $("#additional-buttons-c").removeClass("div-disabled");
    }
    else {
      $("#additional-buttons-c").addClass("div-disabled");
    }
  });
});

theme.scss.liquid:

.div-disabled {
    pointer-events: none;
    opacity: 0.4;
}

cart template:

{%- if additional_checkout_buttons -%}
<div id="additional-buttons-c" class="additional-checkout-buttons">{{ content_for_additional_checkout_buttons }}</div>
{%- endif -%}

Thanks in Advance

The complete code is already pasted above.

Best regards

[TAGSAngel]

Does it matter where in the code your code is placed or can we just put it down on the bottom of the page?

[MKMUMU2]

hi there,

could you find a solution for the error in the "required" portion,i am still unable to find the perfect solution for this. Easily can be bypassed without giving tick mark in the check box.

Can you help me?

[GARESIOVINI]

Hello,
I've contacted for 25 dollars a shopify expert that worked on the code and
did a perfect job.
In just one day everything was working well. Honestly I'd advice this.
Best,

[MKMUMU2]

Hi @gab33 

Your function to disable the pay buttons like Google and Apple pay is extremely helpful, so thank you!

However, I do have a small issue. I copied your code exactly into my template (I am using the theme Debut), but the pay buttons stay greyed out and unclickable even after selecting the checkbox. 

What am I doing wrong?

Cart-template.liquid:

<input type="submit" name="checkout"
class="cart__submit btn btn--small-wide"
value="{{ 'cart.general.checkout' | t }}">
</div>
<p style="float: none; text-align: right; clear: both; margin: 10px 0;">
<input style="float:none; vertical-align: middle;" type="checkbox" id="agree" />
<label style="display:inline; float:none" for="agree">
Ik ga akkoord met de <a href="/policies/terms-of-service"><strong>algemene voorwaarden</strong></a>.
</label>
</p>

<div class="cart__error-message-wrapper hide" role="alert" data-cart-error-message-wrapper>
<span class="visually-hidden">{{ 'general.accessibility.error' | t }} </span>
{% include 'icon-error' %}
<span class="cart__error-message" data-cart-error-message></span>
</div>

{%- if additional_checkout_buttons -%}
<div id="additional-buttons-c" class="additional-checkout-buttons">{{ content_for_additional_checkout_buttons }}</div>
{%- endif -%}

</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

theme.scss.liquid:

}
.div-disabled {
pointer-events: none;
opacity: 0.4;
}

theme.js: 

}

$("#additional-buttons-c").addClass("div-disabled");
$(document).ready(function() {
$('body').on('click', '[name="agree"]', function() {
if ($('#agree').is(':checked')) {
$("#additional-buttons-c").removeClass("div-disabled");
}
else {
$("#additional-buttons-c").addClass("div-disabled");
}
});
});

$(theme.init);

$(document).ready(function() {
$('body').on('click', '[name="checkout"], [name="goto_pp"], [name="goto_gc"]', function() {
if ($('#agree').is(':checked')) {
$(this).submit();
}
else {
alert("Om de bestelling te kunnen plaatsen dien je akkoord te gaan met de algemene voorwaarden");
return false;
}
});
});

[Andrea_Rausch]

Hello,

I have the same issue. Were you able to fix it?

Thank you

[Ersin]

Hi,

thanks for the tutorial. This really worked fine for me!

But I need more than 1 check box.

Can you give me code for second checkbox?

Thank  you!!

[KevGol]

Has anyone figured out how to solve the issue with being able to proceed to checkout even if the checkbox isn't checked? 

I have spent several hours troubleshooting with JS and HTML and can't seem to figure it out.

I would greatly appreciate some help. I am using the Supply theme if that helps.

Thanks!

[MKMUMU2]

Hi,

i have added this in my registration page, you can add the below code in your respective page where you want to see the "terms and policy".

##If you want to add this in your cart page, then just add name="register" in the respective input button line. 

##put the script tag below your html code, at the last part.

hope that it works out for you.

Here i have added the code which works well for me in my registration page before entering into my store.

HTML Part:

<p style="float: none; text-align: right; clear: both; margin: 10px 0;">
<input style="float:none; vertical-align: middle;" type="checkbox" id="agree" required="required" />
<label style="display:inline; float:none" for="agree">
I agree with the <a href="your reference page link">terms and conditions</a>.
</label>
</p>
<p class="text-center">
<input id ="account_submit" type="submit" value="{{ 'customer.register.submit' | t }}" class="btn" name="register">
</p>

JS Part:

<script>
$(function() {
$('body').on('click', '[name="register"]', function() {
if ($('#agree').is(':checked')) {
$("#create_customer").submit();
}
else {
alert("You must agree with the terms and conditions of sales to register.");
return false;
}
});
});

</script>

[JP30]

Hi Ty, 

Thanks for the info.

Any chance you could tell me how to display the terms and conditions page within a popup instead of leaving the cart page as it is now.

Thanks

[MKMUMU2]

Hi, 

That is what i couldn't figure out how to add those terms and condition page

[alibabyph]

are you able to do this? here is how if you are still interested

this is popup

I agree with the <a href="/pages/terms-conditions" target="popup" onclick="window.open('http://alibaby.ph/pages/terms-conditions','popup','width=600,height=600'); return false;">terms and conditions</a>.

this is for new tab if you want

I agree with the <a href="/pages/terms-conditions" target="_blank">terms and conditions</a>.
