Hi,
Is there a way of having a tick box option in the checkout phase to allow people to opt into mailshots?
either just below the remember me or below terms and conditions? the method would be
[tickbox ticked] 'I would like to receive periodically a copy of your newsletter and special offers by email'
Thanks

Search this forum for 'other info prompt' and you will find details of how to add a new checkbox other info field.

Found what I needed (ish), in design / text / Web Site (Cont) using the show tick box and changing the text, although I would like it ticked (default) and the option to untick, could not find that, more info on other prompt not other prompt in checkout.
when I use the user definable it places a text box, can this be overwritten to a checkbox (checked)?
Thanks
J

I use the "Occasionally we share our address list with..." prompt for exactly what you describe, with the text suitably changed. It's ticked by default.
Of course this won't be much help if you already use this prompt - I use it like this because we don't ever share/sell customer info (and say so) so it's used as a "can WE send you mail sometimes" option instead.
