How to Customize Your Contract Text

Replace the default contract body on your Contract PDF with your own legal language.

If you have your own contract wording (custom legal clauses, regional language requirements, or just a different tone) you can override the default MonuDesk contract body with your own text.

Go to Settings → Documents to set this up.

How it works

Type or paste your contract body into the Custom contract body textarea and click Save. From that point on, every Contract PDF you generate will use your custom text instead of the default MonuDesk contract body.

If the textarea is empty, the Contract PDF falls back to the default contract body. Clearing the textarea later returns you to the default.

What it changes

Your custom text replaces only the body of the Contract PDF. Everything else stays the same:

  • Order header, customer info, and decedent info → unchanged

  • Line items, totals, and payment summary → unchanged

  • Signature block at the bottom → unchanged

Only the contract clauses in the middle of the document are swapped.

The change does not affect Quote PDFs, Invoice PDFs, Receipt PDFs, or Shop Tickets. Only the Contract PDF.

Tips:

  • Paste from a Word doc to bring your formatting along. Line breaks and paragraph breaks are preserved.

  • If you want to go back to the default at any time, just clear the textarea and save.
