Additional Terms for WooCommerce

Additional Terms for WooCommerce helps store owners add an extra agreement checkbox to the WooCommerce checkout page. Use it for return policies, refund conditions, cancellation terms, privacy notices, age confirmations, delivery notices, warranty acknowledgements, payment method notices, or any other policy that customers should review before purchase.

The plugin is designed to be simple to configure while still giving store owners control over how the terms appear during checkout.

What you can do with the free version

• Add an additional terms and conditions checkbox to WooCommerce checkout.
• Make the checkbox required or optional.
• Show a custom validation message when required terms are not accepted.
• Link the checkbox label to a selected terms page using the {{additional-terms}} smart tag.
• Display linked terms content in a modal, in a new tab, or directly above the checkbox.
• Enable or disable the checkbox without deleting the saved settings.
• Display the checkbox on the classic WooCommerce checkout shortcode.
• Add the dedicated Additional Terms block inside the WooCommerce Checkout Block.
• Save customer acceptance details in WooCommerce order notes.
• Use the plugin on multilingual stores with translation-ready strings and support for WPML and Polylang workflows.

Common use cases

Additional Terms for WooCommerce can be useful when your store needs customers to acknowledge specific policies before checkout, including:

• Refund and cancellation policies.
• Subscription terms.
• Product warranties.
• Age-restricted product notices.
• Shipping delays or delivery conditions.
• Digital download terms.
• Liability waivers.
• Privacy and GDPR-related notices.
• Return policy exceptions.
• Special product or service conditions.
• Payment-method-specific terms, such as bank transfer instructions, cash on delivery notices, manual payment disclaimers, financing terms, or payment gateway requirements.

Built for classic and block-based checkout

The plugin works with both WooCommerce checkout approaches. On stores using the classic [woocommerce_checkout] shortcode, the checkbox can appear automatically near the WooCommerce terms and conditions area. On stores using the WooCommerce Checkout Block, you can place the Additional Terms block inside the checkout layout and move it to the preferred position.

Keep a record of accepted terms

When customers place an order, their additional terms acceptance is saved with the WooCommerce order. This gives store owners a clearer record of which checkout agreement was accepted during purchase and can help with internal review, customer support, and dispute prevention.

• Add payment-method-specific agreements for options such as bank transfer, cash on delivery, manual payment methods, financing, or custom gateways.
• Link checkboxes to content from a selected post type, not only standard WordPress pages.
• Use Hidden Cart Matching for custom checkout layouts where products may be hidden or modified by the theme or checkout builder.
• Export and import plugin settings when moving terms configuration between stores.
• Generate structured Terms and Conditions content using the guided Terms Generator.
