Easy tweaks you can do today to make your Shopify site better, part 1…
…but first you’re going to want to make sure that you’ve subscribed, because this is going to be a whole series. Your Shopify store will thank you for it.
Today I’m going to show you how to easily add website terms, and also your privacy policy to your Shopify. To do that, just follow these steps:
- On your shop dashboard, click on Settings in the bottom left corner.
- Click Legal from the menu on the right hand side.
- From there, you’ll see all of these different policies with a blank space for you to add things. But if you’re a little bit lazy like me, or maybe you don’t want to hire an attorney, then Shopify already has some legal templates built in. All you’ve got to do is click Create From Template, and magically an entire policy will pop up.
- From there you’ll just scroll through and make sure that your own personal information is where it needs to be, and that your policies are included.
- Be sure to read the fine print, and seek out your own legal advice if you need to.
You’ll repeat steps 3-5 to complete the Refund Policy, Shipping Policy, Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and Subscription Policy
Do I Need Terms and Policies For My Online Shop?
These are steps a lot of online business owners forget to take. Or some even choose not to do it because they don’t know how important it is. Basically you’re setting up rules / regulations / guidelines for how you want to run your business. These are to protect YOU and your business, should the need arise. Setting up your policies makes it so your liabilities are limited, if somebody were to take you to court. Unfortunately, none of us are exempt from the possibility of sharing our products or services with somebody who won’t be pleased by them. So do yourself a quick favor, and take the time to protect your shop!
