About WarrantyARK — EU Guarantee Notice
From the official readme · v1.2.0Description
From 27 September 2026, Regulation (EU) 2025/1960 — together with Directive (EU) 2024/825 — introduces a harmonised legal-guarantee notice and a durability label (GARAN) for goods sold to consumers in the EU, with no transition period. WarrantyARK — EU Guarantee Notice helps you display these official graphics on your WooCommerce store, in the language of your customer.
This plugin is a display helper. It shows the official harmonised graphics unaltered, as intended by the Regulation. It does not provide legal advice and does not guarantee that your store is legally compliant — whether and how the rules apply to your business is for you (and, if needed, your legal advisor) to determine.
Features
- Harmonised EU legal-guarantee notice (Annex I) — on the product page, the checkout, and the order confirmation email. Turn each placement on or off.
- All 24 EU languages, with an Automatic setting that follows the language of the page being viewed (works with Polylang and WPML).
- Reveal or expanded display — a compact “Your legal guarantee rights” row that opens the full notice on click (works with JavaScript disabled), or the full notice shown at all times.
- Configurable width with a QR-scannability minimum (428px), as the Regulation requires.
- GARAN durability label (Annex II) — appears automatically for qualifying products; nested strip or full label. Set the guarantee, brand and model per product.
- Shortcodes for manual placement:
[warrantyark_eu_notice]and[warrantyark_eu_garan year="3" brand="Acme" model="X100"]. - Optional “Add to WarrantyARK” button after checkout (off by default) — shoppers can save their purchase and its warranty in the free WarrantyARK app.
- Lightweight, no account required. The notice and label are static graphics rendered locally; no shopper data is sent from your store by the plugin.
Every feature above is free and fully functional.

Why turn on “Add to WarrantyARK”?
After checkout, shoppers can save their purchase and its warranty into the free WarrantyARK app in one tap.
- For your store: the relationship doesn’t end at checkout. Your brand stays in the customer’s pocket — together with the warranty they bought from you — which supports repeat visits and loyalty. It’s optional, off by default, and takes one setting to enable.
- For your customers: their receipt and warranty are saved automatically, with reminders before anything expires and help filing a claim if something breaks — no more lost receipts.
It turns EU guarantee compliance from a checkbox into a post-purchase experience your customers actually value.
More information about the WarrantyARK app is available at warrantyark.com.
Related: WarrantyARK Connect (a separate plugin)
There is a separate plugin, WarrantyARK Connect, available at warrantyark.com, which is installed alongside this one and adds custom position, category scoping, branding, a richer “Add to WarrantyARK” and statistics. It is not hosted on WordPress.org. This free plugin is complete and fully functional on its own.
External services
This plugin can connect to the WarrantyARK service, only for the optional “Add to WarrantyARK” button:
- When: only when a shopper clicks the “Add to WarrantyARK” button on the order-received page or in the order email. No connection is made just by installing the plugin or browsing the store.
- What is sent: clicking the button opens the WarrantyARK web app (app.warrantyark.com) with non-personal purchase context in the link (store name, order number, item names). There the shopper signs in and explicitly consents before any purchase details are saved to their own WarrantyARK account.
- No shopper personal data is transmitted by the plugin itself.
Service: WarrantyARK (app.warrantyark.com). Terms of Use: https://warrantyark.com/terms/ — Privacy Policy: https://warrantyark.com/privacy/
If you do not want this feature, leave the “Add to WarrantyARK” button off (it is off by default) in the plugin settings.
Installation
- Install and activate the plugin (WooCommerce required).
- Go to WooCommerce → WarrantyARK.
- Choose your language (or leave it on Automatic) and pick where the notice should appear, then save.
- The EU legal-guarantee notice now appears on your store. Set a manufacturer guarantee, brand and model per product (Product data → General) to show the GARAN durability label.
Frequently asked questions
What changes on 27 September 2026?
From 27 September 2026, EU online stores selling goods to consumers must show the harmonised legal-guarantee notice and, for qualifying products, the durability label. There is no transition period. This plugin displays the official graphics for you, in the shopper’s language.
Which businesses are affected?
Any trader selling physical goods to consumers in the EU, regardless of where the business is registered, and regardless of platform. Genuinely B2B-only sales are treated differently, and some categories such as food fall outside the scope.
Does this make my store legally compliant?
No. The plugin only displays the official harmonised graphics. Whether the Regulation applies to you and how to comply is your responsibility; consult a professional for legal questions.
Can I show the notice on checkout or in the order email?
Yes. Under WooCommerce → WarrantyARK → Placement you can enable the product page, the (classic) checkout, and the order confirmation email independently. In emails the notice is always shown expanded.
What is reveal mode?
Reveal shows a compact row (for example “Your legal guarantee rights”) that opens the complete, unaltered notice on click. It matches the Commission’s own online placement examples, works with JavaScript disabled, and search engines still read the notice behind it. You can switch to “always expanded” instead.
Does it follow my multilingual site language?
Yes. Set the language to Automatic and the notice follows the language of the page being viewed, including Polylang and WPML sites. You can also pick a fixed language.
When does the GARAN durability label appear?
Only for qualifying products. Set the manufacturer guarantee per product (Product data → General): it must be offered by the producer, free of charge, cover the whole product, and last more than 24 months. When those conditions are met, the label shows automatically. Add the brand and model there too.
Which languages are supported?
All 24 official EU languages. The official notice graphic is shown in the resolved language.
Does it work with block themes?
Yes. The notice and label render on standard WooCommerce product pages, including block (FSE) themes, and via shortcode anywhere.
Does it send any customer data?
Not on its own. The notice and label are static graphics rendered locally. The optional “Add to WarrantyARK” button opens the WarrantyARK app only when the shopper clicks it — see the “External services” section above.
What is the legal basis?
Directive (EU) 2024/825 (Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition) and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1960, which fixes the official design and content of the notice and label. They apply from 27 September 2026, with no transition period.
