Overview
The Credit Card Agreement on Payment Form feature introduces a mandatory agreement checkbox on the payment form. This ensures that customers acknowledge and accept the terms and conditions associated with credit card payments before completing their transaction.
Why This Matters
Capturing explicit agreement to payment terms is essential for regulatory compliance and transparent customer consent. This feature helps organizations reduce disputes, improve compliance, and provide a clear record of customer consent at the point of payment.
How It Works
When a customer initiates a payment using a credit card, the payment form displays a mandatory agreement checkbox.
