Finally, if you sell products or services online, you need to make sure that your checkout process is GDPR compliant. This means adding a checkbox for users to consent to the terms and conditions of the sale. You can use Wix’s Checkout Page Builder to easily add consent fields to your checkout page.

By following these steps, you can make sure your Wix site is GDPR compliant.
