How to add a terms and conditions checkbox

In this article:

• Turn on the checkbox
• Write the text and add a link
• Make the checkbox required

The agreement checkbox asks customers to accept your terms and conditions, return policy or any other rule before they go to checkout. It's shown above the Checkout button in the cart drawer.

Turn on the checkbox

1. Open ShopCart and click Edit in the Cart Drawer card.
2. Turn on the Agreements toggle on the left and click Agreements.

Write the text and add a link

1. In Text, enter the sentence next to the checkbox, up to 200 characters, for example "I agree to the Terms and Conditions".
2. To link to your policy, select the words, for example "Terms and Conditions", click the link icon in the toolbar and paste the address of your policy page.
3. Click Save at the top of the editor.

You find the addresses of your policies in your Shopify admin under Settings > Policies.

Make the checkbox required

Select Required field and click Save. Customers then can't go to checkout until they tick the checkbox. If they click Checkout without it, the text and the checkbox turn red.

If Required field is off, the checkbox is only a reminder and customers can go to checkout without ticking it.

To change the text color, the error color and the checkbox colors, open the Styles tab.
