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 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 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.
