How to add an ‘Agree To Terms And Conditions’ Checkbox ? In craft theme
Topic summary
Adding an “Agree to Terms and Conditions” checkbox in the Craft theme (Shopify). Options discussed:
-
Theme guidance: For vintage themes, follow Shopify’s “Cart – Add an ‘Agree to Terms and Conditions’ Checkbox” tutorial. For Online Store 2.0 (newer theme architecture), that tutorial isn’t recommended; consider apps or custom code instead.
-
Apps: RA Terms and Conditions Checkbox (rebranded from EZ; claims broad theme compatibility and support), ROAR, MS Agree Terms & Condition (lists product/cart placement, popup/checkbox modes, dynamic checkout support), and AgreeBox (Shopify Plus compatible; drag-and-drop placement; records timestamp of consent). One report flags severe performance freezes (4–5s JS stall) with the MS app.
-
No‑app solution: A shared video tutorial demonstrates adding the checkbox in the cart via custom code; another participant confirms it helped create a required attribute on OS 2.0.
-
Outcomes/status: Multiple viable paths; no single accepted solution. Latest update notes the app rebrand to RA Terms and Conditions Checkbox and its stated compatibility/support.
-
Media: A how‑to video and app screenshots are provided and central to implementation.
Greetings, @Kvalmis .
Thank you for reaching out and posting this question!
There are a couple of options that you can consider for adding a terms and conditions checkbox to your theme. If you’re using a vintage theme, then you can follow our guide - Cart - Add An ‘Agree To Terms And Conditions’ Checkbox. However, if you’re using one of our newer themes (eg. Online store 2.0), then this tutorial wouldn’t be recommended for this customization.
Alternatively, an easier option is by using a third-party app, such as ROAR: Terms and Conditions Box or EZ Term and condition checkbox, which are both available for free. If you need any help with one of these apps, then the app developer is always available to assist you. Simply reach out to them directly through the contact information found in the Support section of their app’s page.
If you prefer adding a terms and conditions checkbox through custom coding, then you can see if the Shopify Community can share some insight on how to do this or you can consider hiring a developer to assist you with this. If you need help finding a developer for your store, then we’d recommend taking a look at our directory of certified developers on Shopify Experts.
I noticed that you’re a new member of our Shopify Community! I’d love to hear more about your business and share some resources to help you get started. What kinds of products are you selling? Do you have a marketing plan prepared for your store?

I have been looking for a way to create a required attribute on Shopify 2.0 for literally months. THANK YOU.
Hi there,
Regarding your question on how to set up a tick box for agreeing to terms and conditions at checkout, we have a handy app called “AgreeBox” that does just that. It’s specifically designed for Shopify stores and works seamlessly with Shopify Plus.
With AgreeBox, you can add a mandatory checkbox for terms and conditions acceptance right at the checkout. It’s pretty user-friendly – you can drag and drop to position the checkbox either above or below on the checkout page. Plus, it can also record date and time of customer agreement for each order.
To get started, simply install the “AgreeBox” app from the Shopify app store. Here’s the link for easy access: AgreeBox on Shopify App Store.
Hope this helps, and best of luck with your store!
Thanks for the recommendation Elias 
Our app previously known as EZ Term and Condition Checkbox is now RA Term and Condition Checkbox (Shopify made us change it)
Our app works with most themes out of the box. If you have any issues just send us an email and we can fix it.
