What is a CMS?
Selling online involves complying with some basic legal obligations set out in the Law on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce. Prestashop makes this task easier for us as it includes some sample documents that we must modify to suit our needs. These types of static pages are known as CMS (content text pages) and they not only include information about legal conditions.
