Tell your customer who you are with an about page

If you want your customers to feel confident in doing business with your Shopify store, it is extremely important to inform them of what your brand is all about!

An up-to-date privacy policy page

Implementing a comprehensive privacy policy page to your Shopify store is vital for building strong brand trust with your customers. The tedious nature of building a privacy policy makes it common to bypass page creation, especially if you haven’t run into any problems with data privacy regulations yet. As an increasing number of data privacy regulations are introduced globally, including the GDPR and CCPA, having a proper privacy policy on your Shopify store can save you from fines and legal trouble. Luckily, Enzuzo’s Data Privacy & Trust Shopify app is free to download and provides you with a comprehensive privacy policy built by experts that can be added to your Shopify store with a few simple clicks.

Include a great return policy

A return policy is essential for Shopify merchants to implement in their store as it builds customer’s trust with your brand when they may be uncertain with their opinion on your product. A return policy should inform customers about your policies and procedures regarding refunds, returns and return shipping if they’re not satisfied with their purchase.
