Install ClauseClear on Shopify

Targeted at the page that holds your Terms & Conditions. Takes about 3 minutes. Works on every Shopify plan including Basic.

Shopify WooCommerce Wix Squarespace Custom / HTML

Before you start: log into Shopify Admin (admin.shopify.com) as a user with the “Themes” permission, and have your ClauseClear merchant slug to hand — you’ll find it on the ClauseClear dashboard at /dashboard. The slug looks like acme-ltd-a1b2c3.

1Find your Terms & Conditions page in Shopify

In Shopify Admin, go to Online Store → Pages. Find the page that contains your Terms & Conditions (often called “Terms of Service”, “Terms & Conditions”, or “Legal”). Click into it.

Note the page handle in the URL slot at the bottom of the page editor — for example terms-of-service. You’ll need this in step 3.

2Open the theme code editor

Go to Online Store → Themes. On your active theme, click the three-dot menu → Edit code.

We recommend you click Actions → Duplicate on your theme first, so you have a backup. Edit the duplicate, test it, then publish only when you’re happy.

3Add the snippet to the page template

In the code editor sidebar, look under Templates for page.liquid or, if it exists, a page-specific template like page.terms-of-service.liquid. (Newer themes use JSON templates — in that case create a new Liquid section, see the alternative method below.)

Open the template. At the very bottom of the file, paste the snippet:

<script src="https://clauseclear.co.uk/embed.js" data-merchant="YOUR-MERCHANT-SLUG"></script>

Replace YOUR-MERCHANT-SLUG with your real slug from the ClauseClear dashboard.

Click Save in the top right.

4Alternative: JSON-template themes (Dawn, Sense, etc.)

On modern Shopify themes the page templates are JSON, which means you can’t paste raw HTML directly. Use a Custom Liquid section in the theme editor instead:

Go to Online Store → Themes → Customize.
Use the page selector at the top to navigate to your Terms & Conditions page.
In the left sidebar, click Add section, choose Custom Liquid, and drag it to the very bottom of the page.
Paste the snippet from step 3 into the Liquid box on the right.
Click Save.

5Verify it’s working

Visit your Terms & Conditions page on the live site (or the preview link Shopify gives you). You should see:

An inline link near the top or bottom of the page that says “See the key terms you’d normally miss — Simpler Terms by ClauseClear →”
Clicking that link opens a modal showing your audit summary and Simpler Terms bullets.

If you also have a custom checkout / order-summary page where you want the verified badge to appear, add the same snippet to that template too.

Shopify caches theme assets. If you don’t see the link immediately, hard-refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R / Cmd+Shift+R). Sometimes Shopify’s edge cache takes 1-2 minutes to update too.

6Common gotchas

Shopify Plus checkout extensions: if you want the badge on Shopify Plus’s native checkout page (not the cart), you need a Checkout UI Extension — email us, this is a separate install.
Embedded apps that block scripts: some Shopify performance / privacy apps block third-party scripts by default. Add clauseclear.co.uk to that app’s allowlist if you have one installed.
Multi-language stores: add the snippet to each language version of the T&C page. ClauseClear renders in English regardless of your store’s default language during soft-launch; multi-language Simpler Terms is on the roadmap.
