Can I just upload the exported HTML files directly?

On most platforms, no — page builders expect content inside their own editor rather than standalone HTML files. The HTML pack is best used as a reference (or for a custom-coded site where you control the templates); for Shopify, WordPress, and Webflow, paste the content into a page/policy editor as described above. The Markdown export tends to paste more cleanly into block-based editors.

Do I need to recreate the pages every time I update my business details?

No — generate an updated pack from TrustPack AI (the form remembers nothing, so just re-run it with your current details), then replace the content on your existing pages. The page URLs and footer links stay the same; only the content changes.

My theme already has a 'Privacy Policy' link — is that enough?

Only if it points to a real page with actual content. Many themes ship with a placeholder link or an empty page. Check that the link resolves to the page where you pasted your generated policy, not a 404 or a lorem-ipsum placeholder.

How to Add a Privacy Policy to Shopify, WordPress, or Webflow

Once you have your Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and other legal pages generated, the next question is always the same: where do these actually go? Here's the quickest way to publish them on three of the most common platforms.

General rule: a page per document, linked from the footer

Regardless of platform, the standard pattern is the same: create one page per legal document (Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, Cookie Notice, Refund Policy, etc.), paste in the generated content, and link every page from your site's footer so it's reachable from anywhere in one click.

If you exported the HTML pack from TrustPack AI, each document is a self-contained HTML file with its own heading — you can paste the body content into a new page on any platform below. If you exported Markdown, most page editors (including Shopify's and WordPress's block editors) will accept pasted Markdown-formatted text and convert it to headings, lists, and paragraphs automatically.

Shopify

Shopify has a dedicated, built-in spot for policy pages that's separate from your regular page list:

Go to Settings → Policies in your Shopify admin
Shopify provides separate boxes for Refund Policy, Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and Shipping Policy — paste the matching generated document into each box
Save changes — Shopify automatically creates pages at /policies/privacy-policy, /policies/terms-of-service, etc., and links them in the storefront footer for most themes
For documents Shopify's Policies section doesn't cover (Cookie Notice, DMCA Notice, Contact page), create them under Online Store → Pages instead, then add them to your footer menu via Navigation

WordPress

WordPress treats legal pages as regular Pages, with one helpful shortcut for the Privacy Policy specifically:

Go to Settings → Privacy — WordPress can create a draft Privacy Policy page for you, or you can select an existing page as your site's designated privacy page
For each document, create a new Page (Pages → Add New), paste in the generated content, and publish
Add each page to your footer menu via Appearance → Menus (assign the menu to your theme's footer location if it isn't already)
If your theme or a plugin (e.g. WooCommerce) auto-generates a policy link, double-check it points to the page you just created rather than a placeholder

Webflow

Webflow doesn't have a dedicated "policies" section — every legal document is just a static page:

In the Pages panel, add a new static page for each document (e.g. /privacy-policy, /terms-of-service, /cookie-notice)
Paste the generated content into a Rich Text element on each page — Webflow's Rich Text block accepts pasted formatted text and will preserve headings and lists
Open your footer symbol (the shared footer component used across the site) and add a text link to each new page so it appears sitewide
Publish the site — Webflow pages aren't live until you publish, even if they look correct in the Designer

Don't forget these links

Beyond the footer, a few other spots commonly need direct links to your legal pages, depending on which documents apply to your site:

Signup / account creation forms → link to Terms of Service and Privacy Policy near the submit button
Checkout pages → link to Refund Policy and Terms of Service
Cookie consent banner → link to your Cookie Notice
Newsletter signup forms → link to Privacy Policy
App store listings (if you have a mobile app) → most require a direct Privacy Policy URL in the listing metadata
