Have Customers Read and Agree to a Purchasing Agreement before making Payment

johnrobbfl · ‎March 03, 2022

Hi - I am looking for some help. We need our clients to read and agree to a Purchase Agreement before they place an order and make payment (this agreement is about a full page long). I would like to do this within Quickbooks but I have not seen a way to do this.

We currently send them to our website where they read the terms and agree, but we have to manually track this and then send an invoice - automating this would be a big improvement.

Before I give up, I thought I'd reach out here.

Workflow:

We send customer an Invoice or Estimate (whichever works)
Customer is directed to a page where they read all terms and "agree" <-- check a box, which is recorded
Only after they agree are they provided with the ability to pay and process the order.

If this was 2 separate steps it would be fine; meaning they could first agree to terms and are then are automatically sent an invoice with the payment link, but I'd like to keep this within Quickbooks.

Thanks in advance,

John

What kind of business do you run? You may need a 3rd party app to do so.

I just wanted to say, it's rediculous that its 2023, and you guys still have not found a way around this issue...It honestly makes no sense. Simply extend the character limit from 400 to infinite and boom I can easily add my agreement to it. However, you have us maxed at 400 characters. Also, this issue has been brought up since 10 years ago, I saw on your other Q and A's and every year you guys just tell us that you are working on it. What is there to work on exactly? LMAO!!!!!!

Yes we agree and second this! It is ridiculous, especially this day in age when everyone has no accountability for themselves and QB has dramatically increased their subscription costs. This would decrease everyone's liability, both business and QB, it's a simple fix, really, We are looking at integrations now to see if anything will work, let us know if you find anything please!

You may consider having a proposal management app. But it only supports QB Online.
