Proposal for Adding a Checkbox for Terms & Conditions

[luciannlucaa]

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all doing well.

I wanted to propose an enhancement to the payment process that could benefit professional service providers, especially those working on customer properties. The idea is to allow service providers to add a custom checkbox to the payment page, confirming that the customer agrees to the provider's specific Terms and Conditions.

Each service provider would be able to upload their own terms and conditions, which would be accessible through a link that appears when the customer checks the box. This would give both parties clear visibility and agreement on the terms before any payment is made, reducing the potential for misunderstandings or disputes later on.

Currently, many service providers find it difficult to ensure customers are aware of and agree to their terms. Adding this checkbox, along with an accessible link to the T&Cs, would not only protect service providers but also enhance transparency with customers. I believe this feature would be particularly attractive to those offering in-home or on-site services, where disputes over property terms or service agreements can arise.

Even if this feature were part of a premium Square membership, I think it would be a valuable addition that could encourage more professionals to join the platform, while reducing conflicts and enhancing the customer experience.

What do you all think of this idea?

Best regards,

Lucian

Square contracts does this exact thing. It is an upgrade but it works great!

You can have several contract templates so in your case, each service provider and just choose their own from the drop down when adding the contract to the invoice.

On the invoice you can add the contract (or terms and conditions in your case) customized to the customer's name. Then there is a toggle that you can make them sign the contract before they make a deposit. I absolutely love this feature!
