Overview

Shop Policy holds four texts about your shop: About us, Privacy policy, Terms and Return policy. Buyers can read them on your shop's policy pages.

The four boxes are saved together with one button, Save policies. Every save sends all four boxes, so it replaces the whole set. Keep that in mind before you clear one of them.

Owners and Managers can change the policies. The Return policy matters most: a buyer who pays cash on delivery looks for it first, and the Manage Shop hub shows To do until it is written.

Tips and common mistakes

  • Every save replaces all four. Because the four boxes are sent together, make sure each one still says what you want before you press Save policies.
  • Plain text only. The boxes do not keep bold, lists or links. Write each point on its own line.
  • Keep the return policy consistent with your delivery settings. If you refund the delivery charge on a return, say so here. The refund switch is on the Delivery Support page.
  • A policy is public. Anything you write here can be read by any buyer on your shop.
