What are the legal requirements for selling products online in the UK?

Online businesses in the UK are governed by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which requires accurate product descriptions, transparent pricing, and adherence to consumer rights. Businesses must also comply with the Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for customer data, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) for electronic marketing. Secure payment processing, clear terms and conditions, and transparent refund policies are essential. For cross-border sales, international regulations might apply.
