Check 15 / 16 LOW impact Free

Legal pages linked in footer + checkout consent

What this check is

Privacy policy, terms, refund and shipping pages have to exist, be reachable and be acknowledged at checkout. Missing or unlinked policies are a routine reason for account suspensions at payment processors and marketplaces.

How to implement it

Create or review the four policies, publish them as Shopify pages, link them in the footer, and enable the terms and privacy acknowledgement at checkout so the order records it. Keep the refund window in the policy identical to the window promised on the product page.

How to verify it

Open the footer and click each policy link to confirm it resolves, then run a test checkout and verify the acknowledgement line appears and the order confirmation references the policy version the buyer accepted.
