EU Consumer Guarantee Notice requirement

From 27 September 2026, businesses selling consumer goods in the EU will need to display the new harmonised EU Legal Guarantee Notice, informing customers about their legal guarantee rights.

I’ve been looking into the new requirement for a while, and one of the practical questions is how to implement it in an online store without making things more complicated than they need to be.

Since we recently decided to test FluentCart for some of our clients, we knew this was something we would need as well. So we built a small plugin to handle it automatically.

market-it! EU Guarantee Notice for FluentCartΒ adds the official notice to the store and automatically displays the appropriate EU language.

We’ve made the plugin available for free on WordPress.org, so I thought I’d share it here in case it’s useful to other FluentCart users selling to customers in the EU.

If you try it, feedback is very welcome. FluentCart is developing quickly, so if you come across something we could improve or something that doesn’t work as expected, please let me know.

Klasse! Danke, Andreas!

Helmar RudolphΒ BitteschΓΆn!

Congrats on the add-on! Really nice contribution to FluentCart πŸ‘

Also… every new compliance-related feature somehow makes that meme about what ChatGPT will eventually look like in the EU even funnier πŸ˜‚

At this rate, European checkout pages are going to end up looking the same way: VAT notices, consent, disclosures, age verification, regulatory warnings, 14 checkboxes and a button to request human intervention before you’re finally allowed to click β€œPay now.” And of course, a ban if the money goes to a non EU bank 🀣.

Soon every FluentCart checkout will need its own compliance officer πŸ˜…

Jokes aside, great work: and probably increasingly useful considering where things seem to be heading! Kudos!!

Jorge de los ReyesΒ Thanks! I know, not to forget the withdrawal button and process.

Andreas SeifertΒ crazy times. But there’s hope with targeted and simple solutions like yours πŸ‘

Andreas Seifert I think Shahjahan Jewel will enjoy the meme too πŸ˜…

But seriously… does no one ever think about the dev team? πŸ˜‚

At this rate, you’ll need a whole team just to keep up with EU compliance and banners on the checkout! πŸ˜…
