# Add Legal Messaging

To comply with legal requirements, you must add the [ESW Privacy Notice](https://esw.com/privacy-policy/) to your Shopify checkout page. This ensures that shoppers are informed about how their data is handled during the checkout process. The legal messaging is designed to integrate the ESW Privacy Notice into your Shopify store's checkout page. This messaging is essential for compliance with legal requirements.

## Requirements

* Install the **International App** and **Payments App**.
* The privacy notice can be added to your Shopify checkout page at any stage after installing the International App and Payments App.
* The ESW Privacy Notice must be added before go-live.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developer.esw.com/shopify/shopify-native/configuration/add-legal-messaging.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
