How to add a checkbox 'I agree to the Terms and conditions' to products in the store?

[joachimjacob]

I have three products (services) in the store. I want my buyers to know that additional action is required, before they can use the bought service. This checkbox should make it (legally) clear to them.

Is there a way to add this checkbox? Thanks in advance.

Hi, there!

I believe you can do this two ways.

1. You can add a disclaimer in the product description noting that the purchase of the product means that they agree to the Terms and Conditions.

2. After you set the product up in your Store tab, visit that product's page in the edit. Drag and drop a contact form onto the page. Adjust the boxes to include a check box for agreeing with Terms and Conditions. You can also ask for their email, phone number, name, so that you're completely covered.

Thanks,

Thanks for the suggestions.

1. Adding a 'disclaimer' leaves us a bit feeling uncertain. I'd rather prefer an action of the customer to avoid conflicts.

2. Your solution about adding a contact form to the product page: I am not sure I completely get it.

I have my 3 products listed on a normal page (not store front). I can drag 'contact form' below the products, but not 'in' the product, within the box of the product. The contact form still has it's own submit button. Thank you for correcting me, if I did something wrong or did not understand you.

My work-around, which I am not completely happy with, is following.

I have tried to make an 2 options to the product. The option was called: "I agree to the terms and conditions". Version one: 'no' is not in stock. Version two: 'yes' is in stock.  The problem: in this case is the price listed on the product page as '€0 - €120' instead of simply €120.

Are you using inventory tracking, @joachimjacob? Your work around could work if you keep the price of both options as €120 but have 0 inventory for no, and the actual inventory number for yes.

[joachimjacob]

Yes, I have the bussiness subscription now, and have access to inventory tracking. It's a rather nice solution now.

1. Option 'Do you agree... '

Version 1: 'no', 120€,   0 in stock.

Version 2: 'yes',  120€,   999999 in stock.

Selecting 'no' mentions: 'Product is sold out', which is a kind of funny. But it will do for now.

Selecting 'yes' enables the user to buy the product / service.

[Need to get rid of the quantity selection box however]

[Adam7]

Glad to hear this will work for you. You could probably add some theme customizations to hide the text and checkbox, although we don't provide assistance with custom HTML and CSS.

Hi Adam,

This has been going on for 2 years now - has there really been no progress? Rules and regs state this is a must now and I'm going to lose a contract worth £1,000 a month if something isn't done - I will be looking to recoup losses through Weebly if not - you do offer services in the EU (where these rules apply) after all...

It really should be your priority for customers to physically alter fields within the eCommerce checkout section - this way we can add / remove information where possible - and stop bothering you guys...

Looking forward to your response.

This is not very helpful

How about step by step instruction on where to fidn the check box.

Thanks

Hey there!

After clicking on your form, the Checkboxes option in the Build menu to your left should become visible. Click and drag it into place as you would another element.

I would like to know how to add Terms and Conditions checkbox as well. What does it mean to drag and drop a contact form in edit mode in the shop. I went to my shop, selected the item but where do I find the contact form and where in edit do I drop it?

Thanks!

[Adam7]

With the newer website editor, instead of dragging and dropping you'll add the contact form section to a page instead and link to that page, @gatewayurdu.

[gatewayurdu]

could you please share detailed steps as I dont think I follow. 

Many thanks @Adam !

[Bernadette3]

The Contact Form section is on the left side of the screen when you are editing a page. You might have to click + Add Section to show the option, but if you get stuck we have a help guide HERE. Hope that helps you out.

All weebly website in eu are breaking the law, without this option. its eu law to have condition checkbox  before they place an order. So all weebly eu stores are breaking the law. U think we can send the lawsuits to weebly, since they are breaking the law???????

[Adam7]

This is something that we're looking to add, actually:

[pmt2]

READ THIS VERY IMPORTANT

Every time a weebly website is selling anything in EU from 28 countries, they are breaking the law.

Weebly needs to make check box of agree and accept to the store's terms and conditions, and it has to be in the checkout area, to uphold the law.

That should be so simple, unless they are not competent to do so.

Weebly should close down every website selling goods in EU countries right away.

I don’t think they understand the seriousness off this problem.

Got a message from them that they are not working on it, WTF.

Perhaps weebly is just ready to cover all of our losses that this problem poses

All with the same problem out there should put pressure on weebly to fix this.

[pmt2]

this problem was suggested in 2015/2016/2017 by many, and is mandatory in almost every website provider out there

And now its 2018 its law??????

And nothing, give us something, at least something like, weebly are working on it.

What is the latest on this please?  I'm about to launch a website in France, but can't do it without terms and conditions checkbox.  It's illegal.

[technicalcat]

Status? 

[Bernadette3]

We don't have any new updates at this time. Thanks for checking in, though! 

[StefanieG]

How can I add my Terms and conditions to my site in a visible way?

And how do I get the acceptance of the clients of my terms and conditions?

For us in Europe it's very important and I don't find a sufficient answer.

I also have send already a mail, a couple of days ago, without getting any answer.

Please help me out.

Otherwise I'll be forced to cancel my business supscription and I'll transfer to ECWID.

Thank you WEEBLY team, in advance, for your help.
