Do you already have a return or cancel button?
From June 19, 2026 Legislation for webshops within the EU is changing. Online stores will be required to offer a clear online withdrawal function, so that consumers can easily exercise their statutory 14-day cooling-off period. While customers currently often still have to contact the company via email or fill out a form, cancelling or withdrawing an order will soon have to be possible directly online via a clear button or function within the webshop.
What does this mean in concrete terms?
- be clearly visible;
- be easy to find;
- remain available throughout the entire cooling-off period;
- Give consumers direct access to the cancellation process.
This change stems from European consumer legislation and aims to make online purchases just as easy to cancel as they are placed.
What does this mean for your webshop?
For many webshops, this means that the current return or cancellation process needs to be adjusted. Consider:
- adding a clear withdrawal button;
- modifying existing return flows;
- technical connections with order or payment systems;
- correctly processing cancellations within the legal timeframe.
It is important that this functionality is not only legally sound but also aligns well with the user experience of your webshop.
