PrestaShop 1.7 is already pre-certified by these 4 companies, which means it'll ease the process of getting the complete certification.
To know more about this, you may read :(TO DO) link to all 4 pre-certification pages on prestashop.com [to be completed]

This pre-certification means that PrestaShop provides you with all the required features to be compliant. The configuration is then up to you!

How to configure your shop

The cornerstone of PrestaShop's compliance is the module "Legal Compliance" (technical name: ps_legalcompliance), which allows you to do 95% 90% of the set up for a compliant shop. Some other elements are not part of this module and can be configured separately. We will go through every aspect of the Legal Compliance module and these other elements.

...

When you install the Legal Compliance module, it actually triggers a lot of pre-configuration that happens behind the hoodin order to save you a precious time. Here's a list and you may click on the links to see more about each element.

the list:

  • Several static pages are created, thus providing you the means to indicate legally required informations to your customer. For more, see "Legal content management". The links to these static pages will automatically be part of the footer of the front-office, thus accessible for your customers at any time.
  • The final summary in the last step of the checkout is also enabled.
  • Newsletter subscription module
  • Tax settings: line with the total amount of taxesThe option 'Display tax in the shopping cart' is enabled
  • "Free" shipping label : sometimes, the default carrier of your default country may be free and this information is displayed on the shopping cart page even if you haven't set your address and delivery method during checkout. Because the final shopping cost depends on the address and chosen carrier the Legal Compliance module will automatically add a mention "under conditions" which links to the static page "Shipping and Payment" where you should write every detail of the shipping conditions and costs.
