How to Add a Checkbox to Shopify Checkout - Dawn Theme

Topic summary

A user seeks guidance on adding a checkbox to their Shopify checkout and cart pages (using the Dawn theme) to confirm customers are purchasing a digital product rather than a physical one. They’ve searched but only found instructions for adding terms and conditions checkboxes to older themes.

A response provides a partial solution:

  • Includes a screenshot showing what appears to be a checkbox implementation
  • Mentions this requires Shopify Plus (a premium tier)
  • Suggests adding code before the </body> tag in checkout.liquid
  • Notes the code can be edited based on provided markup

The solution appears incomplete as the code snippet itself is not fully visible or formatted in the conversation. The discussion remains open with no confirmation of whether this resolves the original request.

I’m trying to figure out how to code in a checkbox for my checkout and cart that allows the customer to acknowledge that they are purchasing a digital product–not a physical one. I’ve searched and can only find instructions on how to add terms and conditions checkboxes to older themes.

Hi @jamiegarden

If you are using Shopify Plus, then you can try to edit it base on code below. Add it before in checkout.liquid
