Evidence-backed implementation guide
EU legal-guarantee notice for WooCommerce in 2026
The harmonised notice applies from 27 September 2026, but a store-level slogan is not a product-scope decision. This guide separates the official date from the merchant review and implementation work.
Start with the official source
The European Commission provides the notice files and guidance. Use the source language and file intended for the transaction; do not recreate or translate the artwork casually.
- Official guidance: europa.eu/youreurope/.../eu-legal-guarantee-notice-and-garan-label
- Official high-resolution files: commission.europa.eu/publications/high-resolution-vector-files-eu-notice-and-label-product-guarantees
Review scope before display
- Confirm the product and whether it is a consumer-goods transaction.
- Confirm buyer, transaction and target-market context.
- Keep digital content/services and goods with digital elements distinct.
- Keep uncertain or conflicting facts at Review required.
Test the whole WooCommerce journey
A product-page placement is only one surface. Where the reviewed implementation requires continuity, test product, cart, Classic and Block checkout, order received, account, email and authorized records on staging and mobile.
