Adding a link to a form

I want to create a sign up form on my website, with a link to our terms and conditions and privacy policy so people can agree to this before typing their e-mail in accordance with GDPR. Is there a way to do this within the form? 

Thanks

Yes. You can add a link to your T&Cs page by adding the HTML for the link directly to the checkbox description.

Update: Please note that Squarespace have since removed the ability to add HTML to the checkout page.

But the checkbox description does not allow adding the link right after the chech box line.

I found a post with a clear picture what I'm looking for: https://forum.squarespace.com/topic/152950-adding-a-link-to-a-form-on-a-cover-page/#comment-337064

Is this possible to achieve?

Hey guys, you can do this by using html in the description of the checkbox.  As an example, copy and paste the following, and just change out the "/terms-conditions" to whatever the relevant page link is:

View the <a href="/terms-conditions" target="_blank">terms and conditions</a> here.

Then the user will just see:

View the terms and conditions here.

Thank you @CoffeeHops

Is there a way to link in the options section of a multiple choice question rather than in the description?

And also underline the linked word? 

@sandra.bertalan I don't believe you can include the link in one of the multiple choice answer options sorry 😞

For some reason when I try this it displays perfectly in the test preview but not in the actual checkout. I have tried on both chrome and safari and neither display correctly  at checkout. Any guidance anyone? Thanks

The checkout page always block HTML/CSS/JS so the code won't work here.

Yes, this seems to be the case. I'm following several threads related to this, and paul2009 is in all of them suggesting solutions that don't seem to have been tested.

It seems even stranger that in the Squarespace official page for creating a custom checkout form, the first paragraph says:

Quote

You can also use it to require customers to agree to your Terms of Service.

But this doesn't seem to be the case unless you post your full terms as the option, which wouldn't look great to the user.

 

So this actually worked 

Hey guys, you can do this by using html in the description of the checkbox.  As an example, copy and paste the following, and just change out the "/terms-conditions" to whatever the relevant page link is:

View the <a href="/terms-conditions" target="_blank">terms and conditions</a> here.

Then the user will just see:

View the terms and conditions here.

But my new question is , is there anyway to get this to open on a separate page rather than leaving the page it's already on?

Hello, Tomei1989 did you ever find a solution to this to get it to your T&Cs page to open in a new window? Any findings would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

You cannot change the way they open from the Checkout page because this page isn't editable. However, you can change the way links open on other pages.
