Cart - Add an 'Agree to terms and conditions' checkbox

[TyW]

Caution

This is an advanced tutorial and is not supported by Shopify. Knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Liquid is required. Consider hiring a Shopify Expert if you aren't comfortable doing the steps in the tutorial.

---

You can add an I agree with the terms and conditions checkbox to your cart page that customers must check before continuing to the checkout. If a customer doesn't check the checkbox before clicking the checkout button, an alert pop up will prevent them from continuing.

Tip: It's not possible to add the checkbox to the checkout pages. It can be added only to the cart page that exists at http://www.your-shop-URL.com/cart.

The steps for this tutorial differ depending on whether you are using a sectioned or a non-sectioned theme. A sectioned theme is a newer theme that lets you drag and drop to arrange the layout of your store's pages.

To figure out whether your theme supports sections, go to the theme's Edit code page. If there are files in the Sections directory, you are using a sectioned theme. Non-sectioned themes were released before October 2016, and do not have files in the Sections directory.

If you are using a sectioned theme, then click the Sectioned themes button and follow the instructions. If you are using an older, non-sectioned theme, then click the Non-sectioned themes button and follow the instructions.

• Sectioned themes
• Non-sectioned themes

Hello, this tutorial is really helpful and I manage to add a required checkbox on my cart page.

However, the "required" field doesn't prevent the customer to proceed with checkout through the additional checkout buttons (Google Pay, Apple Pay etc). Is there any way to block the user to compile required fields before heading to the quick checkout experience?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: I was able, in the meantime, to disable the buttons until the checkbox is selected:

theme.js

$("#additional-buttons-c").addClass("div-disabled");
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('body').on('click', '[name="agree"]', function() {
    if ($('#agree').is(':checked')) {
      $("#additional-buttons-c").removeClass("div-disabled");
    }
    else {
      $("#additional-buttons-c").addClass("div-disabled");
    }
  });
});

theme.scss.liquid:

.div-disabled {
    pointer-events: none;
    opacity: 0.4;
}

cart template:

{%- if additional_checkout_buttons -%}
<div id="additional-buttons-c" class="additional-checkout-buttons">{{ content_for_additional_checkout_buttons }}</div>
{%- endif -%}

Hi,

thanks for the tutorial. This really worked fine for me!

But I need more than 1 check box.

Can you give me code for second checkbox?

Thank  you!!

Tip: It's not possible to add the checkbox to the checkout pages. It can be added only to the cart page that exists at http://www.your-shop-URL.com/cart.

And this is exactly the kind of restrictions that make me move to another solution as soon as I can, because -aside of the fact that I don't feel free to do what I want with my shop- the checkbox is a mandatory thing in some countries, and having it in the cart before payment pages is a very bad choice as it hurts conversions.

It's a shame that shopify don't offer the possibility to add this checkbox........

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm using Debut and the button now shows on my site, but it can be bypassed by either not simply marking the box or clicking "buy now" button. Moreover, now when you click "Buy now" button, the button fades away before taking you to checkout, resulting in a longer waiting time before reaching the checkout page.

Any solution?

P.S I'm using the latest debut version, which is probably updated compared to the one of this tutorial.

hi there,

could you find a solution for the error in the "required" portion,i am still unable to find the perfect solution for this. Easily can be bypassed without giving tick mark in the check box.

Can you help me?
