<p>WM Widerrufsmanager for WooCommerce extends WooCommerce with a structured digital withdrawal process.</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, documented and made available for further internal processing.</p>
<p>The plugin is especially useful for WooCommerce stores that do not want to receive withdrawal requests only as unstructured emails, but want to collect, review and process them in a traceable backend workflow.</p>
<h4>Note on § 356a BGB and the withdrawal button</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. The Widerrufsmanager helps store owners technically map such a withdrawal function in WooCommerce and structure the process for collecting, confirming and processing withdrawal declarations.</p>
<p>The plugin provides a technical solution. Whether and to what extent a specific store is affected by legal requirements should be reviewed individually.</p>
<h4>What does the Widerrufsmanager do?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Adds a withdrawal button via shortcode, Gutenberg block or widget</li>
<li>Provides a withdrawal form for WooCommerce customers</li>
<li>Validates order number and billing email against WooCommerce orders</li>
<li>Checks the configured withdrawal period</li>
<li>Allows customers to withdraw individual items and quantities</li>
<li>Stores withdrawal requests in a dedicated database table</li>
<li>Provides an admin overview with detail view and status handling</li>
<li>Sends email notifications to customers and store operators</li>
<li>Adds notes to WooCommerce orders</li>
<li>Includes privacy notices, retention and anonymization options</li>
<li>Supports WordPress personal data export and erasure tools</li>
<li>Declares compatibility with WooCommerce HPOS</li>
<li>Provides compatibility hooks for optional PRO features such as item-level withdrawal reasons</li>
</ul>
<h4>Who is this plugin for?</h4>
<p>The Widerrufsmanager is designed for WooCommerce stores that want to provide customers with a simple digital way to declare a withdrawal.</p>
<p>Instead of receiving withdrawal requests only as unstructured emails, all requests are collected in the backend. This makes it easier to review, document and process withdrawal requests internally.</p>

WM Widerrufsmanager for WooCommerce

WooCommerce withdrawal button with form, order validation, admin workflow and § 356a BGB preparation.

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>PDF confirmation</strong> – generated automatically with full UTF-8 support, available to customer and admin</li>
<li><strong>Email notifications</strong> – customisable confirmation and notification emails with WYSIWYG editor and placeholder support</li>
<li><strong>Footer button</strong> – placed next to an existing footer link via CSS selector</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>
<li><strong>HPOS compatible</strong> – works with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage</li>
<li><strong>WooCommerce Germanized compatible</strong></li>
