Configure the ContractAcceptance MethodWhere Terms Appear

Configure the Contract

Go to Settings > Contracts, select Adopter, and edit the contract content. The editor supports Markdown for headings, lists, emphasis, and links.

PawPlacer uses its default adopter contract when the organization has not saved custom content.

Acceptance Method

The contract configuration determines how checkout records agreement:

  • Checkbox: The adopter checks the agreement and selects Agree and Continue.
  • Signature: The adopter enters a printed name and draws a signature before continuing.

The checkout displays the adopter and selected pets above the contract. It cannot proceed until the configured acceptance is complete.

Where Terms Appear

Terms are part of Use PawPlacer Checkout, whether the adopter scans the QR code or staff continues on the same device. The accepted or signed contract information is retained with the adoption receipt and appears in the receipt's left rail when captured.

Complete In Person does not show this checkout step. Use it only after your organization has handled the agreement separately.

Contract Guidance

  • Use plain language.
  • Cover care responsibilities, return policy, non-transfer expectations, liability, privacy, and follow-up consent as appropriate.
  • Keep operational promises aligned with your actual process.
  • Have organization-specific legal language reviewed by qualified counsel.
