Can the wording of the subscription check box be changed?

Topic summary

Changing the wording of the subscription checkbox is possible via the theme’s language editor. Path: Online Store > Themes > Actions > Edit languages > Checkout & system > “Subscription agreement label” and “Subscription agreement label html,” then Save. Screenshots were shared to illustrate the exact fields.

Note: Updating or changing themes may revert this text; you may need to reapply the edits after theme updates.

Suggested enhancements: link the cancellation policy in site navigation and consider adding a FAQ page for subscription details.

Open questions/unresolved:

  • Moving the checkbox to the first checkout step (instead of payment_method) was asked; no solution provided.
  • Missing “Subscription agreement label” for a store using Recharge on Flow theme; unclear if the theme/app removes the checkbox.
  • Where the checkbox acceptance is recorded and how to access that data in Shopify remains unanswered.
  • CI/CD concern: whether there’s a programmatic or persistent way to set this text across theme updates is unresolved.

Update from a participant: the cancellation policy text can be edited in Store settings (not in theme settings).

Hi Summer - where does the check box record to? How can we access that in Shopify?
