I want to have a three step checkout process.
1) They click on a button (not necessarily your shortcode buttons) and it takes them to a terms and conditions page like this:

2) Upon agreeing to the terms and conditions, it takes them to the paypal checkout page (now I can add a graphic like on page one to paypal)
3) After payment, they are redirected to a page that either gives them instructions, or gives them their download link.
January 8, 2014 at 4:29 pm #60187wzpModeratorUnder the eStore –> Settings menu, there is a field to allow you to specify a mandatory Terms & Conditions URL. Once set, the user must agree to the Terms & Conditions at checkout, before the payment gateway is invoked. The implimentation will look like the cart shown on this page:
You can also see how the mechanism would work, by trying the eStore Demo Page:

And after the PayPal transaction is completed, the buyer can be redirected to a download page.
Is that something you are after?
January 10, 2014 at 8:38 am #60188aegrant00MemberWZP, can I customize how that T&C page looks?
January 10, 2014 at 9:06 am #60189aegrant00Memberbut let me show you what I mean:

So, I want them to enter their name and email as a way of digitally signing their agreement.
Then they can go to the paypal page, then come back to a download page for the product.
And can this happen for Buy It Now? The example above is for add to cart.
January 10, 2014 at 4:40 pm #60190wzpModeratorYes, you could have some kind of form input on the T&C page. But eStore will only test to see if the checkbox was checked, before allowing the buyer to proceed to the payment processor. Any input you collect on the T&C page must be handled separately.
The T&C will work with Buy Now buttons:
Also note, that in the United States, the whole idea of forcing buyers to agree to T&C is under scrutiny due to the KlearGear.com litigation.

January 10, 2014 at 5:45 pm #60191aegrant00Memberyeah, that case has little to do with the agreement to T&C in our case. Our T&C explains that the understand we have a 30day MBG, and the nature of the license they are purchasing to the various software products we are selling. Effectively, our T&C accommodates the “I AGREE” with name and email that has been ruled by most international jurisdictions to be a legally optioned “Digital Signature”
January 10, 2014 at 9:09 pm #60192aegrant00MemberOK, I tested using Twenty14 them and only WPeStore and WPaffiliate, both products of yours, and it still doesn’t work on buy now.

January 11, 2014 at 12:12 am #60193adminKeymasterThe terms and conditions feature that comes with our plugin’s shortcode will only work when it is used with the shortcode. Can you share a link to the page where you are using the buy now button shortcode and the terms and conditions are not working?
Given your explanation of how you want to setup your purchase process, I can’t see how you will be able to use our buy now button shortcode directly. You will definitely need some custom tweaks/coding. I think the following approach will give you the best result:
Use URL query parameter to pass the product ID value so you can use it after the customer agrees to your special terms and conditions.
Here is the basic flow:
1) A customer clicks on a buy link on the product’s landing page (this buy link is something you create… just a standard link that take the user to your terms page with the product’s ID appended in the URL).
2) The customer fills in the name and email then agrees to your terms.
3) When they click the submit button, they get sent to the payment page. This is where you can get the Product ID from the URL query parameter and send the customer to the following URL (at this point, eStore takes over).
your-domain.com/?wp_eStore_buy_now=[PRODUCT-ID]
Take a look at the following documentation to learn eStore’s product purchase feature via a link:
