About Checkout Settings

With the Checkout Settings API, you can retrieve and update the checkout settings for a site. These settings include adding or removing eCommerce policies, and setting checkbox behavior for a checkout.

Policies will appear as clickable links in the footer of a checkout. Checkboxes can be found when selecting the payment method. Clicking on the policy name opens a pop-up window with the policy text. Default checkout settings are provided when Wix eCommerce, Bookings, or Events & Tickets apps are installed on a site.
