Additionally, Shopify Plus has created a GDPR Roadmap to help sellers take steps toward GDPR compliance.

For sellers who want to dive even deeper into GDPR, there are several options available. Shopify Plus has partnered with industry experts to develop the Shopify Privacy Education Program, which offers European privacy and data protection certification to business owners. There are also a number of webinars, podcasts, and events that provide greater insight into the regulations and give entrepreneurs the opportunity to ask questions and get advice from experts in the field.

Finally, sellers can also enroll in the Shopify Ecommerce Compliance Program. Led by a team of privacy and data protection experts, this program provides sellers with access to an online platform where they can obtain advice, resources, and practical guidance on GDPR and other compliance requirements.

Ultimately, there are plenty of resources available on Shopify Plus for merchants who want to better understand GDPR. By leveraging these resources, store owners can ensure they are taking the right steps to ensure GDPR compliance.
