Hi jraymond12,
Please go to ‘Online store’ → ‘Actions’ → ‘Edit code’ and add this to your cart.liquid file in between the tags. It will appear where you place the code. And this will show up on each order in the top right:
Topic summary
Main issue: Add a checkbox on the Shopify cart/checkout and have the selection appear in the merchant’s order view.
What worked: A contributor advised adding a checkbox snippet inside the tags of cart.liquid. The merchant confirmed it then showed on each order (noted as appearing in the top-right of the order details).
Theme nuance: For themes using sections, cart.liquid may only include {% section ‘cart-template’ %}. In that case, the checkbox must be added within sections/cart-template.liquid. A user reported this resolved their issue.
Follow-up requests/issues:
- A request to create a “Bed Insurance” checkbox at checkout (R109 p/m) had no provided solution.
- Another user attempted a “Use Recycled Packaging?” checkbox that should save to the backend/database (order page). They shared partial Liquid code and screenshots, but couldn’t get it to persist. Attachments (images) are central to understanding their attempts; code posted appears incomplete.
Status: Original method is confirmed working for adding a cart checkbox that surfaces on orders. Later customization requests and persistence-to-database issues remain unresolved in the thread.
