Making special instruction note mandatory before customer can check out?

Has anybody figured out a way to make the special instruction note box required to fill out before the customer can check out? This is a very important step in my ordering process that I can’t figure out how to do! Please help!

Hello @Gummyteddybear3 ,

Shopify doesn’t offer a built-in feature that makes a special instruction note mandatory before a customer can check out. However, you might be able to achieve this through customizations or third-party apps ( apps you can search never use any before ).

And if you are comfortable with code you can take idea from here.
Write a JS script:
On submit of the checkout check the value of the special instruction input.

If value found return true else show alert a popup or a message.

Thanks

Could you code this for me? I could give you my collaborator number?

You can shoot an email with details and for further discussion.
