Formerly known as Woo Additional Terms, trusted by WooCommerce stores since 2017. Make sure customers actually agree to your policies before they can place an order. Additional Terms Lite for WooCommerce adds a dedicated “I agree” checkbox to your checkout so shoppers must acknowledge your refund policy, privacy notice, age restriction, delivery terms, or any other policy that matters to your store. Every acceptance is saved with the WooCommerce order, so you have a record if a question or dispute ever comes up. Setup takes about two minutes. Write your checkbox text, optionally link a policy page, decide whether it is required, and save. No coding, no page builder, no fuss. This is useful when you want to: Get explicit agreement to a specific policy at checkout. Add a second agreement alongside the default WooCommerce terms checkbox. Link the checkbox to a policy page customers can read without leaving checkout. Keep a record of what each customer accepted with their order. Reduce refund disputes, chargebacks, and avoidable support messages. Get explicit consent to your policies at checkout WooCommerce ships with a single terms and conditions checkbox tied to one page. That is fine until you need customers to explicitly agree to something specific, such as a no-refund sale, a pre-order delay, an age-restricted item, a subscription renewal, or a cash-on-delivery instruction. Additional Terms gives you that dedicated, purpose-built agreement and keeps a clear record of it on the order. You decide whether the checkbox is required, so customers cannot complete checkout until they tick the box, or you can leave it optional when you only need to surface a notice. Link and display your terms your way Point the checkbox at any policy page and drop it into the label with the {{additional-terms}} smart tag. The tag is replaced with a clickable link to that page at checkout. Customers can read the linked terms without leaving checkout. Open them in a modal, embed them directly above the checkbox, or open them in a new tab, whichever suits your store. Keep a record of every acceptance When a customer places an order, their agreement is saved to the WooCommerce order notes. That gives you a clearer record of which checkout agreement was accepted, which helps with internal review, customer support, and dispute prevention. Works with classic and block checkout On classic [woocommerce_checkout] stores, the checkbox appears right beside the standard terms area. Using the WooCommerce Checkout Block? Add the dedicated Additional Terms block inside the checkout layout and position it exactly where you want it. Built for real store situations Additional Terms Lite for WooCommerce is designed for the agreements WooCommerce merchants actually need: refund and cancellation policies, age-restricted products, pre-orders, digital downloads, subscription terms, liability waivers, warranty acknowledgements, privacy and GDPR consent, and payment-method notices for bank transfer, cash on delivery, manual payments, or financing.

Insert ready-made message templates for your checkbox label and error text, then edit them to taste. Show the right terms to the right customer Use smart conditional display so a checkbox only appears when it is relevant. Match on cart contents: products, categories, tags, WooCommerce brands, product types, or shipping classes. Match on applied coupons, so a checkbox appears only when a specific coupon has been added to the cart. Match on cart totals and weight: subtotal, total, discount total, shipping total, or cart weight. Match on the chosen payment gateway, shipping location, or billing location.
