How to break "add to cart" into 2 steps?

[winning]

Step 1, When a customer click “add to cart”, the shopping cart does not add the item to cart as usual. Instead, the customer is redirect to a Terms & Conditions page.

Step 2, The customer has to read the Terms & Conditions, and find the “I Agree” button at the end the of the Terms & Conditions Page. Once the customer click “I Agree”, NOW the item is finally added the shopping cart. In other words, if the customer does not agree to the terms & conditions, he can not add the item to cart.

The reason to do it this way is we want the customer really really really has to see the full text of the terms. I know WP eshop has a check box and a link to Terms & Condition Page at the check out page, but that’s not enough for us – because almost nobody would click the link to read the terms, most people would just check the box and move on – that is not what want them to do – we want to “force” them to read the terms and be serious about it.

Can I achieve this with WP estore?

If yes, how?

Then, if yes, here are a couple of follow-up needs:

1. Some products have Terms & Conditions. But some don’t. For later, “add to cart” button works as default (1 step)

2. Can different products have different Terms & Condition Pages? In other words, for 2 step add-to-cart, can the 1st step redirect to different page based on what product is added to cart?

Thank you!

Sorry, eStore won’t be able to do what you explained. I don’t think every eCommerce plugin will have this option. Its not a standard practice so you might need a custom solution for this.

There is nothing wrong with the implementation that you have in your mind but my experience tells me that you can never make someone read the terms and conditions if they don’t want to. The scenario you explained, they will simply scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the “I agree” button. Someone deliberately not reading the terms and conditions is not really your fault.
