Introducing the Firecheckout 1.35.0 release with Checkout Consumer Rights module as an important step towards EU-compliance for Magento stores. Today, we will discuss how you can prepare for the latest EU consumer protection rules.
From 19 June 2026, online merchants selling to EU consumers will need to comply with new withdrawal function requirements introduced by Directive (EU) 2023/2673. The Legal Guarantee Notice and Withdrawal button must be integrated into the store. Let us make it clear that the withdrawal button requirement takes effect on 19 June 2026.
Our team offers a solution to help you pass recent requirements. Instead of building a custom solution or hiring a developer to adapt your checkout and customer account pages, use FireCheckout 1.35.0 to receive required functionality out of the box. Simply update FireCheckout and the new functionality is ready to use.
Let's take a closer look at each requirement and how it can be implemented in your Magento store.
EU Compliance Requirements: Legal Guarantee Notice and Withdrawal Text
Here, we explain the key requirements to help you ensure the notice is clear and easy to find in your store.
Legal Guarantee Notice Requirements
- Display the notice before the customer completes the purchase. So your customers know their rights before shopping.
- Ensure the information is clear, readable, visible, and easy to understand.
- Make the notice easily accessible during the checkout process.
- Show the appropriate language version based on the customer's country or selected store view.
- Stay with plain text. No strict color or design specifications are imposed by law.
- Present accurate information about consumers' statutory legal guarantee rights as required by applicable EU and national consumer protection laws.
EU Withdrawal Text Requirements
- Ensure the withdrawal function is clearly visible, easy to access, and available throughout the statutory withdrawal period.
- Use a clear and understandable text or label.
- Support both registered and guest customers when submitting withdrawal requests.
By implementing these requirements correctly, you can comply with EU consumer protection rules. This way, you make it easier for clients to understand their rights, which consequently improves trust in your store.
