Legal Pages

Legal pages are essential for any online store. They inform your customers about your terms and conditions, privacy policy, shipping and returns, and other important legal information. AbanteCart makes it easy to create and manage these crucial pages.

Why are Legal Pages Important?

Legal pages protect both your business and your customers. They establish clear expectations, outline your policies, and help ensure compliance with relevant regulations. Having well-defined legal pages builds trust with your customers and can help prevent disputes.

Creating a Legal Page

1. Navigate to Content: In your AbanteCart admin panel, go to Content → Pages.

2. Add New Page: Click the "Add New" button.

3. Content Title: Enter a clear and descriptive title for your legal page (e.g., "Terms and Conditions," "Privacy Policy," "Shipping & Returns").

4. Content: Use the WYSIWYG editor or HTML editor to create the content of your legal page. You can format text, add images, and embed videos. Make sure your legal content is accurate, up-to-date, and easy for customers to understand. If you need help writing your legal documents, consult with a legal professional.

5. SEO keyword (Optional): You can configure SEO keyword or slug for your legal page, to improve its visibility in search engines. While not as crucial as product pages, it's still good practice.

Other fields are optional and not required for Legal Pages.
