How to add a Refund Policy URL in Shopify
Shopify
Step-by-step: paste your privacy policy URL
- In Shopify admin, go to Settings → Policies.
- Open Refund policy (or Returns). Shopify can host text here, but a canonical external HTTPS URL is easier to reuse across Stripe, email, and ads.
- Create your hosted refund policy URL, then either paste the full policy text into Shopify or link to your hosted page from the storefront footer and order emails.
- Save and preview the storefront footer on mobile to confirm shoppers can open the policy before purchase.
- Align the policy language with your actual refund window, restocking fees, and digital-goods exceptions.
FAQ
Should I use Shopify’s built-in policy page or an external URL?
Either works. An external hosted URL is ideal when the same policy must also appear in Stripe, marketplaces, or ads.
