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.

Thank you for the great tutorials but the required is not working for me. Also, I don't have that JS line in my theme, should I add that manually?

Hi dclopez, I am using Blockshop as well did this work for you end the end?

[Andrew231]

Hi Dclopez, I tried this but it still let's me checkout with having to click the button, is yours still allowing you to have to click the checkbox?

This didnt work for me

Hello! This worked for me, but how do I add a pop-up to remind the customers to tick the checkbox before clicking checkout? When they don't click the checkbox, the page just loads and does not proceed to checkout.

Good morning,

It seems as if the line was missing the required="required" in the line for the cart.liquid. It's working for me now. Try this.

Original:

<p style="float: none; text-align: right; clear: both; margin: 10px 0;">
  <input style="float:none; vertical-align: middle;" type="checkbox" id="agree" />
  <label style="display:inline; float:none" for="agree">    I agree with the <a href="/pages/terms-and-conditions">terms and conditions</a>.
  </label>
</p>

Updated with required added ----- USE THIS BELOW:

<p style="float: none; text-align: right; clear: both; margin: 10px 0;">
<input style="float:none; vertical-align: middle;" type="checkbox" id="agree" required="required" />
<label style="display:inline; float:none" for="agree">
I agree with the <a href="Replace with your link to terms and conditions here">terms and conditions</a>.
</label>
</p>

Hi I am using Modular theme and in second step: 

1. In the Templates directory, click cart.liquid.
2. Find the HTML code for your checkout button. Look for a <button> or an <input> element with the name attribute set to checkout. The code might look something like this:

I dot have in this section <button> or an <input> I have just this codes:

<section class="container-wrap">

<div class="container">

{% include 'site-cart' %}

</div>

</section>

{% include 'ajax-cart' %}

Can someone help with this what to do?

thank you so much 🙂

Debe ser porque estas utilizando theme.liquid en ves de theme.js  

Yo tuve el mismo problema pero si copias el código html correctamente todo funciona bien, revisa lo que te digo, no utilices la sección theme.liquid

Hi - I'm using Debut and this worked great, just one thing I can't work out - the 'font' of 'terms & conditions' is not adopting my theme font. How can I do this? Here is how it looks:

Here is the code:

Is it also possible that when the read the terms it can open in a new window rather than take them away from the checkout?

Thank you so much! It would be awesome to sort this final fixes.

Sorry - i was asking a question of the community, not providing an answer!

[wildjunkiebtq]

Which format/coding section did you use for your debut theme? I also have debut and am not sure which one to use. 

[Dagmar1]

Hi,

I use Modular not Debut theme. Thats why it is different.

thank you

Nice tutorial, pretty easy to implement BUT... Is there a way to translate the text shown on the page and the popup that appears if the box is not checked ?

[Dirky]

Thanks, I got this working fine on Debut theme. However it's not immediately obvious that you have to click the text to proceed, see screenshot.

Debut theme does not allow a different colour for links only. Anyway to underline the text to make it more obvious to at least have the hover colour different?

Thanks

Hi, this works great for me with only one issue. The text and checkbox appear next to the "checkout" button instead of right above. Is there a way to do it as it's pictured in the screenshot? Thank you! 

[staudinger]

I had the same question as you. Have you been able to figure it out? Any help is appreciated!

Thank you!

I'm on theme Venture, it works but the text appears in uppercase...

How can I have it in a normal font, with a capital letter only when I put a capital letter?

Not working on Narrative theme. As others mentioned the js inserted into theme.js is simply ignored. Not sure why. Inserting the js into the file custom.js works though.
