Legal policies are a core trust signal for any online store — and a compliance requirement. The Store Policy Checker probes the standard Shopify policy pages (refund, privacy, terms, shipping, contact) and tells you which are published, with a direct link to each.
What the Policy Checker gives you
- Which of the 5 core policies are live
- Direct links to each published policy
- A simple present/missing checklist
How it works
The tool reads the public /pages.json and /blogs.json feeds plus the store’s standard policy pages. These are the same endpoints that power a store’s content and legal pages — all public and read-only.
How to use it, step by step
- Open the Policy Checker and paste the Shopify store URL (for example, allbirds.com).
- Click “Check Policies”. The tool reads the store’s public data — no login, password, or API key is involved.
- Review the result on screen.
What you can use it for
- Trust and legitimacy checks before buying
- Compliance audits of your own store
- Due diligence on a store or supplier
- Spotting missing policy pages
Things to keep in mind
Everything here comes from public data, so a few caveats apply. Password-protected and headless stores may not expose every endpoint, and a merchant can choose to disable the public JSON feeds. Very large catalogs are capped at around 5,000 items. And remember: public storefront data never includes private figures such as exact inventory counts or actual sales — any tool claiming to reveal those is estimating, not reporting fact.
