How To Protect Your eCommerce Website Using Debutify Shop Protectors?

1. Verify Your Customers' Age

Age verification plays a big role in your eCommerce business.

It stops your underage visitors from accessing your products and content.

And this is more important if you're selling restricted products on your eCommerce store, such as alcohol, tobacco, or any products that are suitable for specific ages.

So, how to solve this?

Using Debutify's Age Check Add-On, you can verify the age of your visitors. It's a pop-up form that verifies the age of your visitors.

2. Ask Them To Agree To The Terms And Conditions

I'm sure whenever most people see this, we just check on the "Agree" button without reading the whole thing.

But Terms and Conditions should be a vital part of your eCommerce store.

You need this on your eCommerce website because it can protect your eCommerce store from misunderstandings and liabilities.

And agreeing to Terms and Conditions means your customers understand your eCommerce store's rules.

So, make sure to include everything your customers need to know on your Terms and Conditions before they purchase from you.

What a way to protect your eCommerce store.

But that's not all!

3. Add A Cookie Box On Your eCommerce Website

Adding a Cookie Box on your eCommerce website is important in making your business GDPR compliant.

Okay... there are terms to unpack here, so let's break them down.

First, what is GDPR?

GDPR or General Data Protection Regulation regulates how businesses all over the world handle the personal information of individuals in the EU.

So, you need to comply with the GDPR to avoid hefty fines and protect your eCommerce store while protecting your customers' data.

And it includes adding a Cookie Consent on your eCommerce website.

Now, what is a Cookie Consent or Policy?

Internet cookies are used to remember users' preferences and activities.

If your customer accepts your "cookies," they can come back to your eCommerce website without re-entering their preferences, such as their language or region choice.

And to be GDPR compliant, you need to have a Cookie Consent on your website.

This is to confirm if your customers are willing to share their data. This also enhances transparency because you're informing them of what data you're collecting.

That's why you should have Debutify's Cookie Box Add-On on your eCommerce website.

Here's how to activate this:

Go to Theme Settings.
Head to Debutify Add-Ons.
Select Cookie Box.
Go back to Theme Settings.
Locate the Cookie Box Add-On.
Customize the Add-On.

Feel free to change the drawer colors, customize the texts and button labels.

Think that's all?

We're down to the last one!

4. Protect Your Website Content

Content stealing is rampant in the digital world, unfortunately.

And your eCommerce website is not safe. Unless you protect your content, trademarks, and copyrights from unauthorized actions.

Because as a business owner, you need to protect your intellectual property.

This is also one way to avoid unauthorized users from downloading and using your content for their own benefits.

Sounds frightening, right?

But the good news is... there's a way to protect your images, articles or blogs, product descriptions, and other content on your website from being stolen.

What is it?
