I've had a similar issue, and I'd suggest you double-check the configuration in the eCommerce platform settings. There may be a separate setting that overrides this setting, or there may be a default behavior that enforces the phone number field.

Thanks llegrand,
But that only provides an implied acceptance of terms. I am looking to have a checkbox that the customer has to specifically tick.

I'm setting up AbanteCart V1.3.4 with static pages. Bootstrap5 with same page modal dialogue. I'm only using guest checkout (with fast checkout) as I feel that suits the demographics of my customers.
One last change I need to make is on the final checkout page. To replace the “By clicking Confirm Order, you accept and agree to all terms of.....“ with a checkbox.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

I was trying to work out a way (if there is one) to add a video thumb to the thumbnail section (where small thumb extra images are) to click on so it would play in the enlarged product window. Something like you would see on many sites to view videos of the products for an overall view or to demonstrate how the product works.
Maybe that particular script doesn't support such a choice? I can add a PDF, or image, it has a video choice but anything I try to do doesn't show in the thumbnail image viewer.
Let me know if anyone has an answer. I think it would be a great addition if it doesn't have that option already.

UPS released official API-documentation of their new API version.
We already created automatic generated php-sdk based on it.
Unfortunately UPS repository still unstable and very buggy that affecting on our SDK.
If you plan to develop your own extension you can include sdk into your project.
