Description
Extra tick boxes at checkout: your terms, an age confirmation, a marketing
opt-in. Up to five, each with its own wording and its own refusal message.
A consent that is not recorded is not a consent
The point of the box is being able to show, months later, that this customer
ticked it. Every « just add a checkbox » snippet validates the tick and throws
it away, which leaves a shop with a checkout that looks compliant and an
order file that proves nothing. Here the acceptance lands on the order, and
every order screen carries a Consent panel showing it.
The words they agreed to are stored with the agreement
Rewrite your terms next month and a past order still says what was actually
agreed to, because the wording as it was shown is written onto the order
beside the tick — not a reference to a setting that has since moved on. The
time is recorded too, because « when » is half of what a consent record is
for.
Required means required
The required attribute is a courtesy to the browser and nothing more —
anybody can post past it. A required box that was not ticked stops the order
on the server, where the order is actually created.
What you get
- Up to five consent boxes above the pay button — on the classic checkout and on the Checkout block
- A link inside the wording, so « I agree to the terms » points at your terms
- Your own message for each box when it is not ticked
- Each box required or optional
- The acceptance, the exact wording and the time on every order
- Uninstalling never removes what a customer agreed to
- No JavaScript, no external service, nothing phoned anywhere

FAQ
-
Where do the boxes appear?
-
Immediately above the Place order button, on both checkouts. Agreeing to
terms three screens earlier is not agreeing to anything a shopper remembers
reading. The classic checkout prints them through WooCommerce’s own hook just
above the button; the Checkout block draws them in its Order information step
through WooCommerce’s checkout-fields API, which refuses a required box that
was not ticked and writes the tick onto the order — and this plugin then
records the wording and the time beside it, exactly as on the classic
checkout. -
Does the link in my wording work on the Checkout block?
-
The words do; the link does not. WooCommerce’s checkout-fields API shows a
field’s wording as plain text, so on the block « I agree to the terms » is
shown without its link. Keep the link to your terms in the block’s own terms
text as well, which is what most block-checkout shops already have. -
What happens if I change my terms later?
-
Past orders keep saying what was agreed at the time. The wording is stored
with the acceptance rather than looked up when the order is read. -
Does uninstalling delete the record?
-
No. The acceptances stay on the orders — they are the record the checkbox
existed to create. -
Can I edit the checkout fields themselves?
-
That is Gatemi Checkout Fields for WooCommerce,
a separate plugin sold on gatemi.com: it renames, reorders, requires and
hides the checkout’s own fields, and adds fields of your own. The two run
alongside each other.
