Automatically generated policies help you launch faster

You can now automate your return and refund, contact information, terms of service, shipping, and legal notice policies to help you launch your store faster and expand into new markets. Your automated policies stay up to date as your store settings change and in sync with Shopify’s recommendations. You remain responsible for your policies and your store’s compliance with applicable laws.

To activate automation, go to Settings > Policies in your Shopify admin, select the desired policy, enable Use automated policy, and then click Save.

Learn more about automating your policies in the Shopify Help Center.
