Customer to accept terms and conditions

Firstly, congratulations Hikashop for a great Joomla shooping cart! Finally something that it simple and works (bye bye clunky old Virtuemart).

Quick question...

Is it possible to get the customer to agree to terms and conditions before proceeding through to payment?

Cheers!

Yes. In the configuration, under the main tab, you can add the view terms to the checkout workflow and that will add a terms and conditions checkout to the checkout.

Thanks Nicolas,

I added the "terms" to the list - needed to add HIKASHOP_CHECKOUT_TERMS="Terms" to the language file to format it properly in the cart progress bar.

But where do I edit the wording of the terms? Do I just create an article in Joomla? If yes, how you I put a hyperlink to it? Or is there another way?

Cheers!

It depends how you make your workflow. If you have something like this: login_address_shipping_payment_confirm_coupon_cart_status_fields_terms,end
you don't need that translation.
You indeed need to create a normal joomla article for the terms and conditions. You can edit the string PLEASE_ACCEPT_TERMS_BEFORE_FINSIHING_ORDER to add a link to your article:
PLEASE_ACCEPT_TERMS_BEFORE_FINSIHING_ORDER="<a target='_blank' href='LINK TO YOUR JOOMLA ARTICLE'>Please accept the terms and conditions before proceeding</a>"

Excellent! Thanks Nicholas!

Hi - while trying this I get a parsing error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /homepages/44/d281679128/htdocs/lifequell/templates/LifeQuell_Blank/html/com_hikashop/checkout/terms.php on line 13


I edited the terms-view in HikaShop with your given sniplet:

PLEASE_ACCEPT_TERMS_BEFORE_FINSIHING_ORDER="<a target='_blank' href='LINK TO YOUR JOOMLA ARTICLE'>Please accept the terms and conditions before proceeding</a>"

Any Idea what went wrong?
Thanks again for your help!

That line needs to be modified in the configuration under the tab languages in your translation file.

You shouln't have edited the view.

Oh sorry...

I love the Support for this Produkt!
Thanks again!!!

Me again

Since I updated to last version of HikaSHop Business your workaround with the link to the AGB is not working any more...
Is there still another possibility how to connect the terms and conditions text to the page with AGB?

Thanks again for your help!

If you put that language modification directly in your language file instead of putting it in the override area, you have lost it when updating. You will have to put it back again: www.hikashop.com/download/languages.html#modify

Where exactly is this edit: PLEASE_ACCEPT_TERMS_BEFORE_FINSIHING_ORDER? I want to add the link to my terms and conditions

It's explained in the link I posted just above: www.hikashop.com/download/languages.html#modify

Go in the configuration of HikaShop via the menu Components->HikaShop->Configuration in your back end and then open the tab languages.
Click on the "change" icon of your language file which opens a popup where you can see your translation file and an override textarea below it.

Hi,

As much as I'm not fond of these devices - for some reason the "Terms and Conditions" link popup lightbox does not display the scroll bars on the Apple iPad. Displays fine in IE and Firefox and regular devices. Any suggestions for a fix?

(Using the Business version)

cheers!

Hi,

We have no idea. No one has an ipad on our team so we can't test HikaShop on it at all.
Also, the popups are not handled by HikaShop but by the modal library of Joomla so it might not even be possible to do anything for that on our end

Okay, thanks Nicolas. If I find a resolution I'll post it here!

cheers.

I'm new here,

and have a simple question: on the subject of popup and Terms and Conditions.

it is also possible the "Terms and Conditions" open in a new window ? and not as popup?

if not: how and where can I change the size of the popups?

Hi,

You can display it in another window, you just have to edit the view "checkout / terms" in HikaShop > Display > Views.
And replace the link to display the conditions in another page.

You just have to remove: "class="modal" rel="{handler: \'iframe\', size: {x: 450, y: 480}}"" to display it in another page, or change the values of x and y to change the popup size.

Hi I am on Hikashop Business 2.3.4, and the terms and conditions does not display as a popup, but below the page ("in the debug section")
I have looked at the answer on another persons question, but code on that view looks different in my version:
<?php

defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
?><div id="hikashop_checkout_terms" class="hikashop_checkout_terms">
<input class="hikashop_checkout_terms_checkbox" id="hikashop_checkout_terms_checkbox" type="checkbox" name="hikashop_checkout_terms" value="1" <?php echo $this->terms_checked; ?> />
<?php
$text = JText::_('PLEASE_ACCEPT_TERMS');
$terms_article = $this->config->get('checkout_terms');
$terms_width = $this->config->get('terms_and_conditions_width',450);
$terms_height = $this->config->get('terms_and_conditions_height',480);
if(!empty($terms_article)){
$popupHelper = hikashop_get('helper.popup');
$text = $popupHelper->display(
$text,
'HIKASHOP_CHECKOUT_TERMS',
JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id='.$terms_article.'&tmpl=component'),
'shop_terms_and_cond',
$terms_width, $terms_height, '', '', 'link'
);
}
?>
<label for="hikashop_checkout_terms_checkbox"><?php echo $text; ?></label>
</div>
I really could use some assistance to either display the t's&C's on a new page, or as a pop-up as it should.
Thank you

Hi,

That's because of your template which doesn't supports the popup system of Joomla properly.
Change the "popup mode" option of the Display tab of the HikaShop configuration in order to use another one and one of them should work fine for you.

Thank you so much for the help! I have changed the options to "Yes" at use bootstrap and to "mootools" and it works fine now!
