**Precise procedure and preparation** are important for online store owners when starting a business. To connect a store with the [WooCommerce](https://woocommerce.com/) module, you must pay attention not only to its technical side but also to the connection to advertising systems and analytics settings. Learn all these steps with a new series of articles — in the first part, you will understand how to solve the **legal** **aspects** of store involvement.

**Precise procedure and preparation** are important for online store owners when starting a business. To connect a store with the [WooCommerce](https://woocommerce.com/) module, you must pay attention not only to its technical side but also to the connection to advertising systems and analytics settings. Learn all these steps with a new series of articles — in the first part, you will understand how to solve the **legal** **aspects** of store involvement.
## Work flawlessly from the start
Here is an overview of the most important legal information that you must pay attention to when [connecting your online store](http://www.mergado.cz/shopsystems).
### 1. Business conditions
You should **automatically** **attach** the terms and conditions to your order confirmation or payment confirmation.
Here you can find [a guide](https://www.freeprivacypolicy.com/blog/sample-terms-conditions-template/).
### 2. Conditions of personal data protection
If you use **external** **services** within the store, pay attention to their complete enrolment to the conditions.
Here you can find [a guide](https://termly.io/resources/templates/ecommerce-privacy-policy/).

### 3. Page with a description of payment and shipping methods
Make it easier for the customer to access information about payment and shipping methods with added prices and highlight this section. Also, add information about the **return** **policy** to provide customers with answers to frequently asked questions in one place.
### 4. GDPR list
The addition of the **GDPR** bar is mainly used for [remarketing](https://www.mergado.com/tag/dynamic-remarketing) and tracking scripts, which the customer activates by clicking on the appropriate consent.
### 5. Information on the storage of personal data
The previous point relates to the provision of information on how long the module will **store the customer’s personal data**. [WordPress](https://wordpress.com/) already has the basic settings for the automatic deletion of personal data. If you are interested in **custom** **settings**, you can solve it by creating a special plugin.

Connect your business to the world of online marketing the right way. If you advertise with Mergado, be sure to use its [Pack](https://www.mergado.com/category/mergado-pack) — with it you can **easily connect functions** such as Facebook pixel or GLAMI piXel or create quality XML data files.
