It might be possible with some Javascript, but I do not think it’s necessary, as we are working on a solution to make sure Phone numbers are valid before submitting the order. It might take sometime to be rolled out but will be worth the wait.

Hi!

I hope you’re doing well.

I have the code to make this work, I used to validate phone numbers from Colombia.

<script>
    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
    var submitButton = document.getElementById('submitButton');
    // Agregar el evento en la fase de captura
    submitButton.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
        var inputTelefono = document.getElementsByName('phone')[0];
        var telefono = inputTelefono.value;
        var patronTelefonoColombia = /^3\d{9}$/;

        if (!patronTelefonoColombia.test(telefono)) {
            alert('Por favor ingrese un número de teléfono válido en Colombia (10 dígitos y comienza con 3).');
            event.stopImmediatePropagation(); // Detiene la propagación del evento
        }
    }, true); // True indica que el evento se maneja en la fase de captura
});

</script>

The only thing you have to set up the id of the submit button to ‘submitButton’.

If you have any doubts, don’t hesitate to contact me.
