Require accepting legal terms to checkout

This module extends your e-commerce legal compliance options:

1. Require accepting legal terms before submitting a new address.
2. Log a note in the partner when such terms are accepted.
3. Log a note in the sale order when terms are accepted before payment (done for every online payment, it is an upstream feature).

Use Cases / Context

This module adds the functionality to require the user to check the checkbox to accept the legal terms in the address form. Additionally, it provides a metadata record for both the user when legal terms are accepted through the address form and for the sales order when legal terms are accepted during the payment process.

It's worth noting that this module can be useful even if the acceptance of legal terms in the address form is not activated, as it stores a metadata record when the terms and conditions are accepted during the payment process, even if a new address has not been created.

Configuration

To configure this module, you need to:

1. Install it.

2. Set up your legal pages.

3. Go to your e-commerce and make a sample checkout.

4. Visit /shop/address and enable in the web editor Customize > Require Legal Terms Acceptance.

   

   This will require acceptance before recording a new address, and log visitor's acceptance.

5. Visit /shop/payment and enable in the web editor Customize > Accept Terms & Conditions (upstream Odoo feature).

   

   This will require acceptance before paying the sale order, and log visitor's acceptance.

Usage

To use this module, you need to:

• Buy something from your website.

Known issues / Roadmap

• Shopping terms and conditions are accepted only on user registration or address edition. So if those terms change after the user signed up, a notification should be made. An implicit acceptance could be printed in the payment screen to solve this. Maybe that could be a work to develop in another module.
• If you enable both acceptance views as explained in the configuration section, first-time buyers will have to accept the legal terms between 2 and 3 times to buy.
