How to Use the Terms & GDPR Consent Checkbox Field

The Consent Field provides merchants with a legally sound, privacy-compliant checkbox for Terms of Service agreements, GDPR consent, marketing opt-ins, and return policy acknowledgments. It features native Markdown hyperlink support that allows buyers to open policy pages in new tabs without abandoning their in-progress form.

Adding the Consent Checkbox

1. In the Formpify Builder, locate the Consent element in the Elements sidebar.
2. Drag it to the bottom of your form, typically just above the Submit Button.

Using Markdown for Clickable Links

Formpify automatically parses standard Markdown links inside the consent text. For example:

I agree to the [Terms of Service](https://yourstore.com/terms) and [Privacy Policy](https://yourstore.com/privacy).

Formpify will render the bracketed text as clickable hyperlinks styled with your store's brand accent color. All links open securely in a new browser tab (target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"), preventing the customer from losing entered form data.

Validation & Compliance Guardrails

• Required Validation: Keep the Required toggle enabled to prevent submission unless the customer explicitly ticks the box.
• Inline Error Alert: If a user attempts to submit without checking the consent box, Formpify highlights the checkbox with a subtle alert message.
• Shopify Theme Match: The checkbox automatically inherits your Shopify theme's checkbox corner radius and brand focus ring color.
