Check 11 / 16 LOW impact In the full checklist

SMS opt-in at checkout checkbox + TCPA text

What this check is

SMS consent has to be explicit, recorded and separable from the email consent. Collecting it at checkout with the required disclosure is both a compliance and a list-quality decision.

How to implement it

Add an unticked SMS checkbox at checkout or on the phone field, include the disclosure text covering message frequency, rates and opt-out, and store the consent with its timestamp and source. Never reuse an email consent as an SMS consent.

How to verify it

Run a test checkout and confirm the SMS box is unticked by default, the disclosure text is present, and the consent is recorded on the customer profile with a timestamp.
