<p>WM Widerrufsmanager for WooCommerce is more than a withdrawal button. It adds a structured digital withdrawal workflow to WooCommerce: withdrawal button, customer form, order validation, item selection, backend processing, email notifications, documentation and privacy-related tools.</p>
<p>Many stores only think about the visible withdrawal button. In daily store operations, however, withdrawal requests also need to be collected, checked, confirmed, documented and processed internally.</p>
<p>The plugin helps WooCommerce store owners replace unstructured withdrawal emails with a traceable workflow inside WordPress.</p>
<h4>More than a withdrawal button</h4>
<p>The visible button is only the entry point. WM Widerrufsmanager connects the customer-facing withdrawal function with the backend process that follows afterwards.</p>
<p>Customers can submit a withdrawal request through a dedicated form, validate their order using the order number and billing email address, and select individual items or quantities for withdrawal. Submitted requests are stored in the WordPress backend and can be reviewed, documented and processed by the store team.</p>
<h4>How the workflow works</h4>
<ol>
<li>The customer opens the withdrawal form.</li>
<li>The order is validated using the order number and billing email address.</li>
<li>The customer selects the affected items and quantities.</li>
<li>The request is stored in the WordPress backend.</li>
<li>Store operators can review, process and document the request.</li>
<li>Customers and shop operators receive email notifications.</li>
</ol>

<h4>Prepared for §356a BGB</h4>
<p>From 19 June 2026, § 356a BGB introduces an electronic withdrawal function for certain distance contracts concluded via an online user interface in Germany. WM Widerrufsmanager helps WooCommerce store owners technically provide and structure such a withdrawal function.</p>
<p>The plugin provides a technical solution for collecting, confirming and processing withdrawal declarations. Whether and to what extent a specific store is affected by legal requirements should be reviewed individually.</p>
<h4>Who is this plugin for?</h4>
<p>The plugin is designed for WooCommerce stores that want to provide customers with a simple digital way to declare a withdrawal and, at the same time, manage the internal workflow more clearly.</p>
<p>It is especially useful for stores that do not want to receive withdrawal requests only as unstructured emails, but want to collect, review and process requests in a traceable backend workflow.</p>

</code></pre>
<p>The button can be placed in the footer, customer area, service pages or legal information pages. Gutenberg blocks for the form and button as well as a classic WordPress widget for the button are also available.</p>

<p>Retention and anonymization options can be configured in the plugin settings.</p>

askoweb

<p><strong>Askoweb Order Withdrawal Control</strong> adds a WooCommerce withdrawal button (Widerrufsbutton) to your online shop. Customers can declare a withdrawal directly from your website through a structured two-step process with order verification, email confirmation, and PDF document generation. Built for the EU withdrawal law requirements, including the German Buttonlösung (§ 312k BGB).</p>
<p>This free version is <strong>fully functional</strong> and does not require a license key or paid upgrade to work. Every feature listed below works out of the box.</p>
<h4>Why You Need a Withdrawal Button</h4>
<p>Since July 2025, several EU member states require online shops to provide a dedicated withdrawal function. Germany’s § 312k BGB (“Buttonlösung”) mandates that shops offer customers an accessible way to declare withdrawals online. This plugin provides that technical implementation.</p>
<p>This plugin is a technical tool, not legal advice. Consult a qualified professional for your specific obligations.</p>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li><strong>Customer clicks the withdrawal button</strong> in your site footer.</li>
<li><strong>Order verification</strong> – the customer enters order number and email. The plugin validates the order, checks the email, and confirms the withdrawal period is still active.</li>
<li><strong>Withdrawal confirmation</strong> – the customer sees the order summary, selects items for full or partial withdrawal, and confirms with a declaration checkbox.</li>
<li><strong>Done</strong> – confirmation email with date and time is sent immediately. A PDF is generated for download. The admin is notified and can manage the request from the dashboard.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Two-step verification</strong> – order number and email validation before any withdrawal is accepted</li>
<li><strong>Full and partial withdrawal</strong> – withdraw entire orders or select individual items with specific quantities</li>

<li><strong>Email notifications</strong> – customisable confirmation and notification emails with WYSIWYG editor and placeholder support</li>

<li><strong>Configurable withdrawal period</strong> – estimated delivery days + withdrawal days (default: 3 + 14)</li>
<li><strong>Customisable form texts</strong> – modal title, labels, placeholders, confirmation text, success message</li>
<li><strong>Sealed goods notice</strong> – configurable notice for products affected by unsealing</li>
<li><strong>Statistics dashboard</strong> – withdrawal rate, partial vs. full, trends, bulk actions</li>
<li><strong>WooCommerce orders integration</strong> – optional filter and status column</li>
