 * Hello,
 * I recently added a Legacy Checkout Donation but it seems to be allowing people
   to click the “Yes, I want Gift Aid” without having selected a donation amount.
   So orders are coming through our site with Gift Aid on products that are not 
   eligible. How can I stop this please? Or is there a way to have a tick box that
   only shows a “Do you want to add Gift Aid?” after they have chosen a donation
   amount and added it to their cart?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi georgiajones,
 * There isn’t a native feature built into the standard checkout form to conditionally
   hide fields based on cart contents, which is why the checkbox is showing up for
   everything.
 * If you want to keep the checkbox on the checkout page but only show it when a
   donation is in the cart, you can use a conditional fields plugin (like **WooCommerce
   Conditional Checkout Fields**) or a short snippet of code in your theme’s `functions.
   php` file.
 * The logic would be: _If product ID [Your Donation ID] is in the cart, show the
   Gift Aid checkbox; otherwise, hide it._
 * Best,
   Jonas
