# Settings - Terms & Policies

> Create the policy documents customers see — as inline content or links to external pages.

## Primary Purpose

Create the policy documents customers see — terms, privacy, return policy, or any others you need.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Create a policy">
    Give the policy a name and choose its content type: **inline content** (write it in TWICE) or a **link** to an external URL you host elsewhere.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Status & preview">
    Keep a policy as **draft** while you write it and set it **active** to publish. Preview the rendered policy before publishing.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where policies appear">
    Active policies can be linked in the storefront footer and attached to a [checkout](/docs/settings/checkouts) as required consents.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Note>
  Policies have no fixed types — name them whatever you need. They apply account-wide.
