Force acceptance of Terms of Use

[gjt]

What is the preferred method these days for forcing customers to accept your Terms of Use (Terms and Conditions... or whatever) during checkout before purchase is allowed?

I suppose you could use a custom order field, but can you make those required? I'm not seeing how to do that.

Any other methods?

The custom order field is used for both of these thoughts.

You could use a separate form with a required field where the action writes the value to the custom order field. You could also for a redirect to a previous checkout page if a CGI variable doesn't have a valid value.

i don't think you need a separate form. Just add the "Accept" checkbox to the OSEL form, and on OPAY wrap the payment information form with a check for the conditional set by the check box. Inside the wrapped OPAY form add a CustomField Write() function the records the fact they checked the box.
