# Terms

Terms is a buy now, pay later payment method. The customer places an order without paying at checkout, and you invoice them on an agreed date or after an agreed period, according to the terms you have arranged with them.

This is normally offered only to specific customers or corporate accounts you have an agreement with. Policies are what keep it hidden from everyone else.

### How to Add a Terms Payment Method

1. Click on the store you would like to add terms to
2. Click on Payment Methods underneath Payments
3. Click the Enable button under Terms
4. Add your deny policies first, then your allow policies, so that only the customers you have agreements with can see the method
5. Save your changes
6. Sign in to your storefront as a qualifying customer and confirm Terms appears at checkout, then check as an ordinary customer that it does not

{% hint style="warning" %}
Terms lets a customer take goods without paying. Check your policies carefully before going live, because a policy that is too broad exposes the method to customers you have no agreement with.

{% hint style="info" %}
Add deny policies before allow policies. The order they are added in affects how they are applied.
