Terms Acceptance for Paymenter

Terms Logger for Paymenter is an admin-only extension that lets hosting providers require customers to accept important policies before completing checkout.

You can create policies such as Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, refund policy, privacy policy, cancellation rules, VPS abuse rules, game server rules, or any other agreement your customers need to accept before ordering.

Policies can be enabled or disabled, marked as required at checkout, assigned a version number, sorted in the checkout display, and linked to an external policy page. You can also add the full policy text directly inside Paymenter and let the extension host the policy page for you.

When a customer accepts a required policy during checkout, the extension records proof of that acceptance. This includes the policy title, policy version, customer, order, IP address, user agent, timestamp, cart fingerprint, and related metadata.

This makes it easier to handle refund disputes, chargebacks, abuse complaints, cancellation issues, and Terms of Service enforcement because you have a clear record of what the customer accepted and when they accepted it.

The checkout acceptance box appears directly in the Paymenter cart/checkout area, so customers must accept the required policies before continuing. Admins can review acceptance logs from the Paymenter admin panel and export them to CSV when needed.
