Policies, checkout and system texts

The text outside the catalogue: policies, notifications, shipping methods, filters, subscription plans and more.

The walkthrough for this topic is being recorded. Until then, the text below covers everything.

What belongs here

Next to the catalogue, Content contains:

  • Policies — returns, privacy, terms, shipping.
  • Notifications — email templates, payment texts and other Shopify system text.
  • Shipping and delivery — the names of shipping methods as they appear at checkout.
  • Filters — the labels of the storefront filters.
  • Subscription plans — names and descriptions of your subscription options.
  • Shop metadata — the shop's name and description.
  • Cookie banner — your consent banner's text, as soon as Shopify opens it up to apps.

Editing and translating

You edit and translate these texts in the usual editor. Some of them are managed by Shopify itself: there the primary language is read-only and maintained in the Shopify admin, while the translations are done in the app.
