As a rule, the more content you have on your shop visible to Google the better. There are two exceptions: duplicate content and special pages like the checkout.
On Shopify, the robots.txt file and canonical tags make sure that both of these exceptions are covered. You don't need to do anything else.
It's easy to think that pages like 'contact' and 'terms and conditions' should be hidden from Google.
But in these cases, you should leave it up to Google to decide if a page is relevant or not. They're very good at that. Someone for example may search for [your brand name contact], in which case your contact page should appear in the results.
Having these kinds of pages in search results will not harm your SEO. It's normal and expected. Google will be able to decide what to show or not.
Shopify is already very well set up with the correct noindex and canonical tags: trying to change these in our experience is not worthwhile or at worst can lead to parts of your shop not being indexed when it should be.
