Merchant Terms of Service

The legal text of Shopify's Merchant Terms of Service did not change at all in this update — every single edit is to a hyperlink destination. Most links to referenced policies (Privacy Policy, EU Terms, API Terms, Shop Pay/Apple Pay terms, Tax Terms, Shipping Terms, consumer privacy policies, PCI reports, and the support contact page) now point to URLs with a '/de/' (German) locale prefix instead of the general/English URLs. More notably, the link to the Data Processing Addendum — the document that explains how Shopify handles customer personal data — was swapped out entirely for an unrelated 'Impressum' (German company-info) page, in two places. This could be a side effect of how the page was fetched (e.g., a German IP/locale setting) rather than a deliberate move by Shopify, but as written, the document now sends readers to the wrong page for a key data-protection document.

The Data Processing Addendum is the document that spells out how Shopify is allowed to use, store, and share your customers' personal data. The link to it was replaced with a link to an unrelated 'Impressum' (company info) page. If you try to review how your customers' data is actually handled by following this link, you won't find the right document.

What you can do — Don't rely on the in-document link — contact Shopify Support directly and ask for the current Data Processing Addendum if you need to review it.

Nearly every link in the Terms to a related policy (privacy policy, tax terms, shipping terms, support page, etc.) now goes to a German-locale ('/de/') version of that page. If you don't read German, you may land on a page you can't understand instead of the policy itself.

What you can do — If a linked page loads in German, look for a language/region switcher on Shopify's site, or search shopify.com/legal directly for the English version of the policy you need.
