Adding a privacy policy to your WooCommerce store is a great way to build trust with your customers and let them know that you take their privacy seriously. There are a few different ways to add a privacy policy to your WooCommerce store, and in this article, we’ll show you how to do it.
First, you’ll need to create a privacy policy page on your WordPress site. You can do this by going to Pages > Add New in your WordPress dashboard.
Once you’ve created the page, you’ll need to add the following shortcode to it: [wc_privacy_policy_page]. This shortcode will output the default WooCommerce privacy policy template.
If you want to customise the template, you can do so by going to WooCommerce > Settings > Privacy in your WordPress dashboard. From here, you can add your own custom text to the template.
Once you’re happy with your privacy policy page, you can then add a link to it from your WooCommerce store. The easiest way to do this is by going to Appearance > Menus in your WordPress dashboard and adding a custom link to your menu. The link should point to the privacy policy page that you created earlier.
You can also add a link to your privacy policy in the footer of your WooCommerce store. To do this, go to Appearance > Widgets and add a Custom HTML widget to your footer widget area. In the widget, you can then add a link to your privacy policy page using HTML code.
That’s all there is to adding a privacy policy page to your WooCommerce store! By following these steps, you can build trust with your customers and let them know that their privacy is important to you.
Adding a privacy policy page is an important way of building trust with customers and letting them know that their privacy is important. There are a few steps required in order for this page be accessible from both the footer menus as well as the main navigation menus.
Creating the page is simple enough and only requires going into thePages section of the WordPress site and selecting “Add New”. Once created, be sure to title it something memorable like “Privacy Policy” or “Company Policy on Privacy”.
The next step may be slightly more difficult depending on how familiar one is with HTML code but it’s essentially just adding a shortcode onto the page itself which will output the default WooCommerce Privacy Policy template. If there isn’t a desire to use this particular template, don’t worry! There’s always the option of customizing it under “WooCommerce>Settings>Privacy” in order for it better match the brand guidelines or company voice.
After saving all changes made on this new Privacy Policy page, return back tot he Menus tab under Appearance (in WordPress) and simply createa new menu or edit an existing one that corresponds with where it should go such as “Footer Menu” if wanting it appear in said location on every single page OR “Main Navigation” if wanting it only appear when hover over company name or when selected from main navigation bar (on desktop) OR if on mobile, have it as one of first selections that pop up once company name is clicked on hamburger icon (typically located on top right hand corner).
And that’s really all there is too it! By taking these small but impactful steps, not only will customers see that their privacy matters but also builds credibility for company as now appearing more professional and polished.
