Storefront footer and legal links
Write or link your terms and privacy policy, then fill the storefront footer with contact details, social links, custom links and a copyright line.
The footer of your storefront identifies you as the seller and links to your legal documents. When you finish these steps, the store footer shows your contact details, your social profiles and working links to your terms and privacy policy.
What the footer shows by default
With nothing configured, the footer is a single slim line: © [year] [your site name]. As soon as your terms or privacy policy exist, the links Terms of service and Privacy policy appear on that line by themselves. Contact details, social icons and custom links turn the footer into a larger block.
Add your legal documents
Open Legal documents
Go to Your site → Settings and open the Privacy & legal tab (/site/privacy). The Legal
documents section lists two documents: Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Each shows its
status: Not set, Written · [n] words or Linked page.
Choose Write here or Link to a page
For each document pick one source.
| Source | What you do | What visitors open |
|---|---|---|
| Write here | Click Edit document. A full-screen editor opens (/site/legal/terms or /site/legal/privacy-policy); paste or write the text and click Save. | A page on your own site: /documents/terms or /documents/pp. |
| Link to a page | Paste the address of a document you host elsewhere and click Save. | That external address. |
Check the public page
For a written document, View public page opens it and Public address: shows the link with a copy icon. The pencil next to it (Edit address…) changes the last part of the address; the default address keeps working. Generate PDF creates a PDF of the saved text for download and e-mail attachments.
One source per document
A document is either written or linked, never both. Saving a document as Link to a page when it has written text asks "Replace written document with a link?" and deletes the text. This cannot be undone.
These documents are used across your site: the storefront, your pages and the checkout.
Fill in the footer
Open the footer settings
Go to Your site → Storefront (/sites/storefront), open the Settings tab in the left
panel and scroll to Footer. The preview on the right updates as you type.
Add contact and seller details
Under Contact & seller info fill Business name, Address, Contact email, Phone and Extra line (e.g. NIP / REGON). Fill only what applies; empty fields are not shown. In the footer the e-mail and the phone number become clickable links.
Add social links
Under Social links paste the full address (starting with https://) of your profile on
Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X (Twitter) or LinkedIn. Each filled
network shows as an icon that opens in a new tab. Networks left empty show nothing.
Add custom links
Under Custom links click Add link and type a Label and an address, for example a refund policy or an FAQ. A link appears in the footer only when both the label and the address are filled. You can add up to 20 links.
Set the copyright line
Copyright line replaces the default "© [year] [your site name]" with your own text.
Save and check the live store
Click Save, then View store, and scroll to the bottom of the public store.
Turn the legal links off
The Legal links (terms & privacy) switch at the top of the Footer section is on by default. Turn it off and click Save to remove Terms of service and Privacy policy from the footer; everything else stays. The Configure documents link next to the hint takes you to the Privacy & legal tab.
Good to know
The legal links appear only for documents that exist. If the switch is on and a link is missing, the document is Not set. The footer follows the store's design, in both the light and the dark scheme. This footer belongs to the product storefront; a page that you set as your main page carries its own footer.
