WooCommerce: Per-Product Terms & Conditions @ Checkout

A freelance client sells two distinct products on the same website: a membership and an online course. Two different audiences, different formats and… different Terms & Conditions.

The goal was therefore to display the “Terms & Conditions” checkbox on the Checkout page based on the product in the cart. Once again, we’re going to use Conditional Logic. With that, the snippet is pretty easy to code!

Where to add custom code?

You should place custom PHP in functions.php and custom CSS in style.css of your child theme: where to place WooCommerce customization?

This code still works, unless you report otherwise. To exclude conflicts, temporarily switch to the Storefront theme, disable all plugins except WooCommerce, and test the snippet again: WooCommerce troubleshooting 101

    Hi there, is it possible to adjust this so that it shows for all products in a category as opposed to just products by ID?

    Hi, would it be difficult to change the condition based on value in the cart ?
    I want to display or not the text on checkout based on the amount in the basket.
    For example if amount in the basket is < 100 $ than it shows text "Free delivery from 200 $"
    If in the basket is more than 200 $ then the text disepear.

    HI there,

    How would I add multiple products to any 1 terms? E.g. every time Product A, B and F are in basket, terms 2 should show.

    Thanks in advance, think this is the workaround we’ve been searching for!

      No problem. No, you find an A HREF tag inside the snippet where you can enter the URL of each page

    Just tried this, and it doesn’t appear to be doing anything. Maybe it doesn’t work with bookable product IDs (woocommerce bookings)?

      Should work for any product type. Try to disable theme and all plugins but Woo and Woo Bookings and see if it works

    Hi Rodolfo, thank you so much for making this code freely accessible for us! I was wondering if there is a way to apply specific terms & conditions to products that are downloadable? So ‘if a product is downloadable, show these terms’. I understand if you can’t answer such specific questions, but my knowledge of PHP is too limited to assess the level of complexity of my question. ^^

        You can use the “is_downloadable” logic.

        Example:

        if ($product->is_downloadable('yes')) {
    // Your Logic.
}else{
    // Your Logic.
}

    It appears that this only works if both checkboxes are visible and checked. So if a customer is buying only one product, and the checkout page shows only one checkbox, the form won’t submit because it wants the missing 2nd checkbox to be checked. This is the expected behavior?

    In the last part where you show a notice if user doesn’t check the box:

    add_action(‘woocommerce_checkout_process’, ‘bbloomer_not_approved_terms_1’);

    … it is checking for that value every time a user goes to Checkout.
    If user didn’t add these items to their Cart, it shouldn’t tell them they didn’t tick the box.

    We need to add the product checking logic into this function as well, or else the Checkout will always be looking for the field values.

    Would you recommend writing a reusable function which will check if the product is in the cart? I’m thinking it would return true if product is in there. Then we could write an if() statement call to it from both actions. Is that correct?

      Something like this:

      function tc_product_is_in_cart( $product_id ){

	$product_cart_id = WC()->cart->generate_cart_id( $product_id );
	$in_cart = WC()->cart->find_product_in_cart( $product_cart_id );

	if ( $in_cart ) {
		return true;
	}

	return false;
}

function bbloomer_add_checkout_tickbox() {
	if ( tc_product_is_in_cart(522) ) {
	?>
	(terms-1 html code goes here)
	<?php
	}

	if ( tc_product_is_in_cart(2152) ) {
	?>
	(terms-2 html code goes here)
	<?php
	}
}

function bbloomer_not_approved_terms() {
	if ( tc_product_is_in_cart(522) ) {
		if ( empty( $_POST['terms-1'] ) ) {
        		wc_add_notice( __( 'Please agree to terms-1' ), 'error' );
		}
	}

	if ( tc_product_is_in_cart(2152) ) {
		if ( empty( $_POST['terms-2'] ) ) {
        		wc_add_notice( __( 'Please agree to terms-2' ), 'error' );
		}
	}
}

      ???

      I’m seeing this too. I set it up two different products, like the demo. If one is in the cart, the function is still checking to see if BOTH checkboxes are checked.

      So this solution only works if both products are in the cart.

    Hi Rodolfo,
    Your articles have been incredibly helpful – thank you! On the above, the second set of terms only worked for me when I removed the “a” from “if ( $in_cart_2a )”
    Thanks again!

    Hi Rodolfo —

    Thank you so much for this code! It’s working great with my simple products. I also have a variable product that I’d like to setup. How would I specify that product ID? When I set the $product_id_2 = 6833 (the variation ID), it does not work. Is there additional code to accommodate a variable product?

    Thanks,
    Kari

      Hey Kari, thanks so much for your comment! Each variation has a common parent ID, you should use that 🙂

        Hello,
        Unfortunately, I couldn’t run what Kari said on products with variations. I used common ID and variation ID but it still didn’t work. Do you have any advice?

      Hi Rodolfo — I should have mentioned that I tried using the parent product and that also did not work. It seems like when you’re checking what’s in the cart, you’d have to specify not only the parent product ID, but also the variation ID?

      Thanks,
      Kari

        Uhm, maybe the find_product_in_cart only works with simple product? You can check if a product is in the cart with a foreach alternatively, like I did here: https://businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-apply-coupon-programmatically-product-cart/

    Hi Rodolfo,
    Thank you very much.
    I love your Visual Guides.
    About this snippet, I am a newbie in PHP, and I don’t understand 100% the line:
    if ( ! empty( $_POST[‘terms-2’] ) && empty( $_POST[‘terms-2’] ) )

    I think is like “If not terms-2 is empty and terms-2 is empty” You can help me with that? How I must interpret it?

      Hi, maybe you have problem because there are conditions only for products with id 522 and 2152

      $product_id_2 = 2152;
      $product_id_1 = 522;

      Just delete the whole condition 🙂
