🔥 Week 3 Updates 🔥
New feature on checkout pages to allow each membership purchaser on the same checkout page purchase complete their own agreement 📑
With this new addition to checkout pages, when selling memberships through them and allowing multiple contacts to start a membership on the same checkout page purchase, you could provide them all with options to complete their own agreement instead of just having that option for the first purchaser listed on the checkout page. This will make it much easier for both you and your contacts to get that portion of the process completed without needing collect those signatures in person or needing to email them the agreement to have signed. For this to work you will first need to make sure you have the checkbox 'Sign Digital Agreement?' option turned on in the checkout page settings and make sure that you are not skipping the order completed page as well as making sure you have a digital agreement under the membership(s) you are offering on your checkout page.
