X-Cart forums

For X-Cart 4, there's a module, Checkout Options, which allows you to put optional/required buttons into the checkout. X-Cart 5 only has "By clicking the "Place order" button you confirm...". This is not good enough for GDPR, and it's not granular enough in general.

How the frick do you do this? Apparently, nobody has made a module for X-Cart 5 that does the same. User profile fields are text fields (we can't ask users to type "Yes").

How would you approach making *required checkboxes during checkout in X-Cart 5?

Thanks

There is a GDPR module for XC5 and it does this

But isn't that only for account-based checkouts? All our checkouts are without account.

Secondly, it's not really GDPR compliant especially for email list signups, because it's not granular. It's not GDPR compliant to just bulk accept a bunch of things that you can "click here" to read.

Basically, is there anything that functionally replaces the Checkout Options module, that allows you to ask specific questions during checkout? Or does one -- as always it seems -- have to develop a custom module in order to do this?

Quoting this and thanking you for the post because while I don't have to worry about GDPR, I agree that every little thing turns into a "custom module". This is not efficient at all.

The GDPR module is for all checkouts. Regardless if there is an account created or not. The cart still collects and processes personal data even if account is not created. How else you are going to fulfill the order?

Without GDPR one can argue whether a checkbox is really needed. With the checkbox you are asking customer to take action to explicitly agree to something. Without the checkbox - customer does not have to take specific action as the actin of placing the order is consider enough.

GDPR forces the checkbox and action from the user as it makes it mandatory for the user to commit this way; and for the website to give that option.
