If you sell online, your checkout should do more than collect payment. It should also clearly confirm that customers agree to your terms and privacy policy before they place an order. This checkout setting helps you do that in a simple, visible way.

📌 Why This Matters

For many small business owners, having clear customer consent at checkout is an important part of protecting the business and meeting legal requirements. By placing a required checkbox right before payment, you make sure customers actively agree before completing their purchase. This can help reduce confusion, support compliance, and create a more trustworthy buying experience on both desktop and mobile.

✨ What’s New

• Required consent checkbox: Customers must accept your terms and privacy policy before they can complete payment.
• Simple on/off control: You can enable or disable the checkbox directly inside your checkout settings.
• Custom text and links: Update the wording and add links to your Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy pages.
• Clear payment protection: If the box is not checked, checkout is paused and an inline message tells the customer what to do.
• Placed at the right moment: The checkbox appears just before the payment button, where customers are most likely to see it.
• Works across devices: The experience is supported on desktop and mobile.
