Key Features of Magento 2 POPIA Extension
If your business is subject to the South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act No. 4 of 2013 (POPIA), then you need to make sure that your eCommerce business complies with its regulations. The Plumrocket POPIA extension for Magento 2 ensures that your store meets all the requirements and protects the rights of both your business and your customers.
The extension offers users an all-in-one Privacy Center Dashboard, a place where users can exercise their rights under all eight POPIA principles: accountability, processing limitation, purpose specification, information quality openness, security safeguards, and others.
One-Stop POPIA Solution for Magento 2
- With POPIA Magento 2 Extension, you can provide your customers with security and protection while also making the whole experience of managing their privacy preferences easier.
- The exercise of all your user rights is available in the Privacy Center Dashboard. Users can review their consents, download and delete their personal information, view privacy policies, and contact the Information Officer for other requests.
- Admins can benefit from easy management of all legal documentation by viewing a complete change history of CMS pages and scheduling automatic user notifications about policy updates.
Display POPIA Cookie Notice
- Prevent collecting user data until you get cookie consent with the help of the Magento 2 Cookie Consent extension($129 value) that comes bundled with this extension.
- Display a fully customizable POPIA-compliant Cookie Consent banner on your website to inform users about personal information processing, collect consents, and give them an opportunity to decline the use of all or some of the cookie categories (marketing, statistics, etc.).
- You can also integrate Google Tag Manager to prevent execution of your third-party cookies if consent is not yet given.
Download & Delete Consumer Personal Information
- Let users access and download their personal information collected by your store (such as name, addresses, order history, etc.)
- All customers can delete their account from your site and anonymize order data. Once a customer logs back within 24 hours, the account will be restored automatically.
- Admins can manage all account deletion requests from the backend as well as delete or anonymize data from third-party applications with built-in API support.
Collect Customer Consent
- Collect user consent with the checkboxes added to the registration, checkout, contact us, and newsletter subscription pages, or elsewhere manually.
- Include "I agree to the Privacy Policy", "I am over 16 years old", or other checkboxes.
- Store the details of user consent in the convenient grid in the backend.
Target South African Residents Only
- Personalize content on your website based on a customer's country/state. Once enabled, you can locate them and display content related to the law.
- Display Cookie Notice and Consent Checkboxes to South African visitors only and hide them from the rest of the world.
- Keep track of all minors by showing the "I’m over 16 years old" checkbox only to South African consumers only.
Built-in Support of Plumrocket Data Privacy Extensions
- Plumrocket empowers all Magento 2 merchants to comply with basic data protection laws.
- We offer a full set of data privacy extensions -
GDPR,
CCPA,
LGPD,
as well as ensure compliance with other GDPR-like privacy laws in other countries (PIPEDA, APPI, APA, PIPA, and others).
- The modules work seamlessly together on the same Magento store, covering all major data protection regulations in South Africa, the EU, the US, and around the world.
Overview of Magento 2 POPIA Extension
All Features:
-
Features for Customers
-
Privacy Center Dashboard
- Magento 2 POPIA extension adds a new section in the Magento Customer Account - “Privacy Center” with a list of POPIA options and Privacy FAQ.
- In the Privacy Center dashboard, the customer can choose to view the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, contact Data Protection Officer (a designated individual accountable for all compliance with the principles), Update Email Preferences, Download Account Data, and Delete Personal Information.
-
Account Data Download
- Consumers can download their account data in both human-readable and machine-readable formats (Excel, CSV). Customers can later transfer their personal data to another service (eCommerce store or another location).
-
Account Data Removal
- Users can request to remove their personal data from your store. Within 24 hours, all personal data will be automatically deleted and anonymized.
- Customers can cancel data removal requests when they sign in to their account within 24 hours after the data removal request was submitted. Administrators can do the same from the Magento backend.
- POPIA plugin will prevent customers with pending orders from deleting their accounts until all orders are completed or canceled.
- All account removal requests and data download requests are password-protected to ensure the security of customer accounts.
-
Cookie Restriction Notice
- With the POPIA Cookie Consent Banner enabled, customers can choose whether to allow usage of all non-essential cookies. All essential cookies required for the proper functioning of the Magento 2 store will continue to work.
-
POPIA Consent & Opt-In
- Customers can provide consent to the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, or any other policy on the account registration page, checkout page, contact us page, and newsletter subscription pages.
-
Popup and Email Notifications

- Admin can track all account download requests via “Log of Account Data Downloads” in Magento Admin.
-
Account Data Removal
- Magento order history will be anonymized and kept in the database as “Guest Orders” for accounting purposes
- By default, the POPIA extension will delete all personal data and anonymize Magento Orders. However, the provided
POPIA API allows you to change default settings and anonymize all customer data instead of deleting it.
- Admin can cancel all pending data removal requests directly from the “Log of Account Removal Requests”.
-
Cookie Consent Notice
- Cookie Notice functionality is based on Plumrocket Cookie Consent Extension for Magento 2.
- Cookie functionality allows enabling cookies only after the customer consent is given.

-
POPIA Consent & Opt-In
- Plumrocket POPIA extension allows admin to add custom consent checkboxes in multiple locations on the Magento frontend and track all customer consents via “Log of Customer Consents” in the Magento backend.
- Each Consent Checkbox can be separately configured to be displayed only to visitors from South Africa.
-
POPIA Settings in CMS Pages
- POPIA functionality will be automatically integrated into all CMS pages and can be enabled for each page separately.
- Admin can enable versions for specific CMS pages and view revision history.
-
Popup and Email Notifications
- Enable popup notifications and notify customers about policy updates upon successful login. This is useful when asking customers to agree to the updated version of the "Privacy Policy", TOS, Cookie Policy, or any other agreement.
- Extension intercepts all login & registration attempts via Social Login (Facebook Login, Twitter Login, or other social networks) and displays Popup Notification requiring customers to agree before using the website.

Very good GDPR MODULE, good support, but it could be better

Review for Magento 2.x
Good support, but it could be better and would give their modules a distinct added value. However, the module does its job well as well as being sold with unlimited updates. This is one of the best things that leads me to prefer their modules over others. I recommend buying from them.

Only reason for a 4 star the price as always is a bit much with them.
Only complaint about plum rocket is they seem lazy on maintaining extensions any times you will buy it and is out dated and needs fixing on their end, they do get it fixed within 3 or so days but instead of maintaining them they wait for clients to raise an issue.

This is my second extension from Plumrocket and it works like a charm, like the first one.
It is highly customizable and covers all my GDPR needs.
I lost many hours in discovering until I found this.
I recommend it!
