Legal Documents Built for WooCommerce Stores

WooCommerce provides more control than a hosted platform, and that control comes with responsibility for everything a customer touches. Your host, theme, checkout extensions, payment gateways, shipping plugins, and marketing tools all become part of the factual record your privacy policy and terms have to account for. A merchant who treats the site as one simple shop still has to document a layered stack of plugins, processors, and analytics tools.

You carry more of the payment-security burden on WooCommerce than on a managed platform. PCI DSS 4.0.1 became mandatory on March 31, 2025, and two of its requirements target ecommerce pages, one to inventory and authorize every script that runs on a payment page and one to detect tampering aimed at skimming card data. If your gateway keeps card entry inside a hosted iframe or a redirect through Stripe, PayPal, or Square, your scope stays light, but a checkout plugin that touches card fields pulls more of that burden onto you and your host.

Once you add subscription, membership, or product-bundle extensions, renewal terms fall under state automatic renewal laws. California's amended law took effect July 1, 2025, and it requires consent to the renewal terms, a cancel path as easy as signup, and a reminder before a free trial converts to paid. The Eighth Circuit vacated the FTC's federal click-to-cancel rule on July 8, 2025, but the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act and the state laws still apply, so your renewal language has to match them.

Your privacy policy has to name the specific tools your plugins load, from analytics to the Meta pixel to email and form services, because each one that sees customer data is a disclosure you owe and, increasingly, a wiretapping suit you want to avoid. Eight new state privacy laws took effect in 2025, several reaching stores with as few as 35,000 customers in a state, and the FTC's 30-day shipping rule and economic nexus sales-tax thresholds apply to you the same as any other retailer. TermsBuilder builds your terms and privacy policy from how your store operates, because a physical-goods shop, a subscription store, and a members-only site face different renewal, fulfillment, and data questions. Our questionnaire asks about your plugins, gateways, hosting, and data practices, then generates the terms and privacy policy your setup requires rather than a generic template.
