Configuration wizard

What is the configuration wizard?

The wizard guides you through the most important plugin settings in a few steps. Instead of manually configuring each module, you answer questions - the wizard sets everything for you.

The wizard appears after the first plugin activation. To restart it, go to WooCommerce > Polski > Settings and click Restart wizard.

Step 1: Company data

Enter your company data. The plugin uses it on legal pages, in the footer, in GPSR data and on invoices.

Required fields

Field	Description	Example
Company name	Full name or trading name	”Jan Kowalski Online Store”
Legal form	Type of business	Sole proprietorship, LLC, etc.
NIP	Tax Identification Number	1234567890
REGON	Statistical number	123456789
KRS	Court register number (if applicable)	0000123456
Address	Street, number, postal code, city	ul. Przykladowa 10, 00-001 Warsaw
Contact email	Correspondence address	[email protected]
Phone	Phone number	+48 123 456 789

Optional fields

Bank account number - for display on invoices and in terms and conditions
Registration authority - e.g. “District Court for the Capital City of Warsaw”
Share capital - required for companies (e.g. “5,000.00 PLN”)
Representative name - person authorized to represent the company

NIP validation

The wizard automatically checks the NIP validity:

Checks the checksum (weighted algorithm)
Optionally retrieves data from the GUS API (CEIDG/KRS) for comparison

If the NIP is invalid, you will see a warning message. You can continue, but we recommend correcting the number.

Example configuration

For a sole proprietorship:

Company name: Jan Kowalski E-Commerce
Legal form: Sole proprietorship
NIP: 1234567890
REGON: 123456789
KRS: (empty - not applicable for sole proprietorship)
Address: ul. Handlowa 5/10, 31-001 Krakow
Email: [email protected]
Phone: +48 500 600 700

For a limited liability company:

Share capital: 50,000.00 PLN
Registration authority: District Court for the Capital City of Warsaw, 12th Commercial Division of KRS

Click Next to proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Legal pages

The wizard helps you create required legal pages. Every Polish store should have at least:

Store terms and conditions - rules for using the store and concluding contracts
Privacy policy - information about personal data processing (GDPR)
Return policy - withdrawal procedure and form

Generating pages

The wizard offers two approaches:

Option A - generate new pages (recommended for new stores)

Select the pages you want to generate
The wizard will create WordPress pages with content filled in based on company data
Content is based on templates compliant with Polish law

Option B - assign existing pages

If you already have legal pages created, select them from the dropdown list
The wizard will assign them to the appropriate WooCommerce settings

Legal page templates

Generated pages contain sections required by Polish law. Example terms and conditions structure:

1. General provisions
2. Definitions
3. Rules for using the store
4. Order placement procedure
5. Prices and payment methods
6. Delivery
7. Right of withdrawal from the contract
8. Complaints and warranty
9. Personal data
10. Final provisions

Shortcodes on legal pages

Generated pages use shortcodes that automatically insert company data:

[polski_company_name]        - company name
[polski_company_nip]         - NIP
[polski_company_regon]       - REGON
[polski_company_krs]         - KRS
[polski_company_address]     - company address
[polski_company_email]       - contact email
[polski_company_phone]       - phone
[polski_withdrawal_period]   - withdrawal period (default 14 days)

When you change company data in settings, legal pages update automatically.

Example usage in terms and conditions content:

The owner of the online store is [polski_company_name],
NIP: [polski_company_nip], REGON: [polski_company_regon],
with registered address: [polski_company_address].

Contact: [polski_company_email], tel. [polski_company_phone].

Result on the page:

The owner of the online store is Jan Kowalski E-Commerce,
NIP: 1234567890, REGON: 123456789,
with registered address: ul. Handlowa 5/10, 31-001 Krakow.

Contact: [email protected], tel. +48 500 600 700.

Click Next to proceed to checkbox configuration.

Step 3: Checkboxes on the checkout page

Configure checkboxes on the checkout page. Polish law requires the customer to accept terms and conditions before placing an order.

Default checkboxes

The wizard proposes a set of checkboxes matching typical requirements:

Checkbox 1 - terms and conditions (mandatory)

Content: I have read and accept the [store terms and conditions].
Required: Yes
Link: /terms/
Position: Before order button

Checkbox 2 - privacy policy (mandatory)

Content: I have read the [privacy policy].
Required: Yes
Link: /privacy-policy/
Position: Before order button

Checkbox 3 - right of withdrawal (mandatory)

Content: I have read the [information about the right of withdrawal]
         and the [withdrawal form template].
Required: Yes
Link: /return-policy/
Position: Before order button

Checkbox 4 - newsletter (optional)

Content: I want to receive information about new products and promotions
       to the provided email address.
Required: No
Position: After mandatory checkboxes

Editing checkboxes

You can customize each checkbox:

Content - text displayed next to the checkbox (supports HTML for links)
Required - whether checking is necessary to place an order
Position - where on the checkout page to display the checkbox
Error message - text displayed when the customer does not check a required checkbox

Adding custom checkboxes

Click Add checkbox to create an additional one. Useful scenarios:

Consent to data processing for marketing purposes
Declaration of being 18 years or older (alcohol stores)
Consent to phone contact
Confirmation of reading the product card (food products)

Checkbox positions

Available positions on the checkout page:

Position	Description
`before_order_button`	Before the “Order with obligation to pay” button
`after_order_button`	After the order button
`after_billing_form`	After the billing data form
`after_shipping_form`	After the shipping data form
`before_payment_methods`	Before payment method selection

Click Next to proceed to the summary.

Step 4: Module activation

The wizard proposes modules to enable based on your answers:

Recommended modules (automatically selected)

Omnibus - price history tracking
Order button - text compliant with law
Legal checkboxes - configured in the previous step
Legal pages - generated in step 2
Right of withdrawal - form and information
Delivery time - information on product page
GPSR - product safety data

Optional modules (to select manually)

NIP lookup - if you sell to businesses (B2B)
Nutritional values - if you sell food
Allergens - if you sell food
Wishlist - if you want this feature in the store
Compare - if you have products to compare
DSA - if you run a marketplace

Select the modules you want to enable and click Next.

Step 5: Summary and apply

The final step shows a summary of settings:

Company data:
  Name: Jan Kowalski E-Commerce
  NIP: 1234567890
  Address: ul. Handlowa 5/10, 31-001 Krakow

Legal pages:
  Terms and conditions: Will be created (new page)

Checkboxes: 4 (3 mandatory, 1 optional)

Modules to activate: 7
  - Omnibus
  - Order button
  - Legal checkboxes
  - Legal pages
  - Right of withdrawal
  - Delivery time
  - GPSR

Review the summary and click Apply configuration. The wizard will:

Save company data in plugin settings
Create legal pages (if generation was selected)
Assign pages to WooCommerce settings
Configure checkboxes on the checkout page
Activate selected modules

After completion, you will see a confirmation message and a link to the compliance dashboard.

After completing the wizard

Check the product page

Open any product in your store and check if new elements appeared:

Lowest price information (Omnibus) - visible on products with a discount
Estimated delivery time
GPSR data (manufacturer, responsible person)

Check the checkout page

Add a product to the cart and go to checkout:

Check that checkboxes display correctly
Check that the button has the text “Zamawiam z obowiazkiem zaplaty”
Try placing an order without checking checkboxes - an error message should appear

Check legal pages

Open the generated pages and check their content:

Whether company data is correct (shortcodes should display current data)
Whether the document structure is complete
Whether internal links work

Compliance dashboard

Go to WooCommerce > Polski > Compliance - after correct configuration, most indicators should be green. Elements requiring additional attention will be marked with yellow status with instructions on what needs to be completed.

Restarting the wizard

The wizard can be restarted at any time:

Go to WooCommerce > Polski > Settings
Click Restart wizard
Fields will be pre-filled with previously saved data
Change what you need and click Apply configuration

The wizard will not delete legal pages or reset manually configured modules.

Troubleshooting

Legal pages were not created

Check that your WordPress account has administrator permissions
Check that in Settings > Permalinks a format other than “Plain” is set
Try creating pages manually and assigning them in WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > Page setup

Checkboxes do not display on the checkout

Make sure the “Legal checkboxes” module is active in WooCommerce > Polski > Modules
If you use a custom checkout template, check that it supports WooCommerce hooks
Clear the cache of caching plugins (WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache)

The wizard does not launch

Clear browser cache and try again
Check the browser console (F12) for JavaScript errors
Temporarily deactivate other plugins that may cause conflicts
