Written by Jared K When it comes to your business, you have to cover your assets. That's why some ecommerce companies require customers to agree to their Terms & Conditions before they check out. **Creating a Terms & Conditions Custom Field** Here's how to add a T&C checkbox to your checkout page: From your store's Admin Dashboard, go to **Settings** \> **Custom Fields.**   ![Accessing the Custom Fields page](https://help.volusion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/8835-TermsandConditions12-2.png) Click the blue **Add** button at the top right of the page.   ![Adding a new custom field](https://help.volusion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/8835-TermsandConditions2-2.png) Select **Orders** from the **Table Name** dropdown menu. This allows the custom field to show at checkout for every order.   ![Selecting the Orders table so the custom field shows on all orders](https://help.volusion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/8835-TermsandConditions3-2.png) Enter Terms or something similar in the **Alias** field (The alias wont be visible on your storefront).   ![Entering the alias name](https://help.volusion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/8835-TermsandConditions4-2.png) In the **Question** field, write the text as you want it to appear on the checkout page (e.g. I agree to all terms of purchase.) **?? Good to Know: This field does NOT support HTML, so please do not use characters such as " \> \< ; ' as they may cause errors at checkout.**   ![Setting what the customers can see](https://help.volusion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/8835-TermsandConditions5-2.png) To link to your **Terms & Conditions** page on your website, enter the following into the **Question Subtext** field: ``` Read our terms and conditions ```   ![Adding a sub question that can accept html](https://help.volusion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/8835-TermsandConditions6-2.png) Choose **Checkbox** from the **Input Type** dropdownmenu.   ![Setting the type to checkbox](https://help.volusion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/8835-TermsandConditions7-2.png) Enter any numeric value into the **Input Max Length** field, e.g.1 (This is a required field that has zero impact on the **Checkbox Input Type**).   ![Setting the character limit](https://help.volusion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/8835-TermsandConditions8-2.png) If you intend on having multiple Custom Fields on checkout, add a number to the Placement Order field to indicate what order this field should show. If you will have only 1 field on checkout, you can leave this field blank.   ![Setting the display order](https://help.volusion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/8835-TermsandConditions9-2.png) If you want checking the T&C box to be a required field for customers to complete before they can check out, enable the **Is Required** option. Enable the **Is Public** option so the field will be visible to customers on your storefront. Enabling the **Show On Invoices** option will allow customers to view what that they acknowledged the terms within their invoice. Enabling the **Show on Premium Checkout** option will make sure that the custom field can display when using Premium Checkout. This is required for it to show when using that feature, but is not required when using the legacy One Page Checkout feature.   ![The different customer facing options for the field](https://help.volusion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/8835-TermsandConditions10-2.png) Click the **Save button** at top right to save your Custom Field. Now your custom T&C checkbox should be all set up, complete with a link to your Terms and Conditions page. ![View of the custom field on checkout](https://help.volusion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/8835-TermsandConditions11-2.png) To edit the default text on your Terms and Conditions page, see [How to Update Your Store's Informational Pages](https://help.volusion.com/s/updatingyourstoresinformationalpages?hsLang=en-us).
