If you would like to have a 'Terms & Conditions' section that customers must read and agree to before checkout, you can use a custom checkout field to create a checkbox that customers must click before continuing on. Note, custom checkout fields are only available within ShopSite Pro.
First, create a 'Terms and Conditions' section. There are different ways that you can do this, but for this example the 'Terms and Conditions' section is plain text within a basic frame.
Next you will want to go to Commerce Setup > Order System > Checkout, and scroll down to the custom checkout field section. Check the checkbox to display custom checkout fields, then check the checkboxes to use field 01 for the 'Terms and Conditions' checkbox.
If you would like to require customers to mark that they agree to your 'Terms and Conditions' before proceeding, mark the “required” checkbox. You can name this field whatever you want. I would suggest naming it “Terms & Conditions.”
Next, paste the HTML below, into any of the text fields on this screen to have it appear on the Checkout Page. I would suggest pasting the HTML into the “HTML Before the Address Fields” text box.
<div style="border: solid 1px #000000; width: 500px; height: 200px; overflow: auto; margin: 0px auto; padding: 4px;">
terms and conditions go here
</div>
<br>
<center>
<input type="checkbox" name="field01"> <b>I have read and accept the Terms & Conditions.</b>
</center>
Last, replace "terms and conditions go here" in the code above with your actual terms and conditions.
Below is an example of what this would look like:
Terms & Conditions
Here is the introduction to the 'Terms & Conditions' section. This will give you a rough idea about the content of our terms and conditions so that you don't necessarily have to read the whole thing to know what is going to be mentioned in here.
Terms
Term 1.
Second term for our store.
Next term we are going to list.
Another term that is displayed here.
Last term which is listed.
Conditions
Here are the conditions.
Another condition.
Yet another condition.
In closing, you can add any terms and conditions that you would like here and this window will continue scrolling. You can also add HTML to give your terms and conditions more style.
