With this extension for Modified eCommerce, merchants can efficiently implement the new EU information requirements regarding statutory warranties and voluntary guarantees in accordance with Directive (EU) 2024/825. From September 27, 2026, the use of a standardized warranty and guarantee label will be mandatory—in both online and brick-and-mortar retail.
The extension handles the entire technical integration:
* Integration of official EU label templates in all required language versions
* Visible and legally compliant display directly on product and offer pages (not just in body text or the footer)
* Display of guarantee labels for voluntary durability guarantees provided by manufacturers
* Integration of QR codes linking to further EU information pages
* Configuration options (e.g., "Show preview" vs. "Full view") to allow for adjustments in response to legislative changes.
* update-safe; no files are modified
This enables reliable compliance with regulatory requirements, reduces the risk of legal warnings, and significantly minimizes implementation effort. The extension ensures legally compliant implementation without the need for additional shop development.
Warranty Instructions
Install the plugin under Modules > System Modules
At this time, from a technical standpoint, we recommend the following configuration: "Warranty Product Listing OFF, Product Information OFF, Checkout Full Version"—please consult your lawyer to verify the legal correctness of this setting.
Also recommended: width of 800px and "Attach to order confirmation email?" set to YES.
The screenshots above show where the labels automatically appear. If you would like them placed elsewhere (for example, above the "Buy" button instead of below it), just let us know, and we will make the change for free.
All my products are covered by the statutory warranty.
Simply click "Warranty: ON for all products" in the plugin, and you're done.
Only a few are not covered by the statutory warranty.
Click "Warranty: ON for all products" in the plugin. Then, open the specific products that are NOT covered and switch the setting to "OFF" (or "NO") for them.
I have only a few products covered by the statutory warranty.
Simply open those specific products and click "Warranty: YES."
Instructions for manufacturer's warranty:
1. My manufacturers do not offer a warranty.
You are done here.
2. All my manufacturers offer a warranty.
Click the "Manufacturer's Warranty: ON for all products" button in the plugin.
Then, go to Catalog > Manufacturers, open each manufacturer's entry, and enter the number of warranty years. Enter only the number, without the word "years."
3. Only some manufacturers offer a warranty.
Go to Catalog > Manufacturers, open each manufacturer's entry, and enter the number of warranty years. Enter only the number, without the word "years."
4. Only some manufacturers offer a warranty, and only for a few products.
Go to Catalog > Categories/Products, navigate to the relevant products, click "Commercial Manufacturer's Warranty: YES" for each one, and enter the duration of the warranty in years below.
The manufacturer label is always displayed on the product page—this is a legal requirement.
The statutory warranty label can be displayed in various locations throughout the shop, as described above.
FAQ:
Where do I enter the terms and conditions for the manufacturer's warranty?
You should use the "Order Description" field available in the product settings for the warranty terms. This is because the "Order Description" field is displayed alongside key product details during the checkout process and in the order confirmation email.
Do you also include the labels in the order confirmation email?
The plugin includes a setting to attach the warranty label to the email. This happens whenever a product with an active warranty is purchased. If multiple products with warranties are purchased, the label is still attached only once. The manufacturer's warranty label is currently not attached.
I use an ERP system; into which database fields do I need to upload the data?
Database columns an ERP writes to keep the EU guarantee labels in sync. As of version 4.0.4.
Table products
| Column | Type | Standard | Accepted | What it does |
|---|
products_statutory_guarantee | int NOT NULL | 1 | 0 / 1 | Shows the statutory conformity label. 1 = show is the standard for physical goods sold in the EU. Set 0 only where the statutory guarantee genuinely does not apply. The column default is 1, so rows an ERP inserts without this field show the label. Note: installing the module leaves all products already in the shop at 0. |
products_commercial_warranty | int NOT NULL | 0 | 0 / 1 | Shows the commercial manufacturer's warranty label (GARAN). 0 = hidden is the standard. Setting 1 is not enough on its own – a warranty duration must also resolve to more than 0 years, otherwise nothing renders. |
products_voluntary_warranty_years | int NULL | NULL | NULL, 1–99 | Warranty duration printed on the commercial label for this product. Overrides the manufacturer value. NULL means "inherit from the manufacturer" – and so does 0. |
Table manufacturers
| Column | Type | Standard | Accepted | What it does |
|---|
manufacturers_voluntary_warranty_years | int NULL | NULL | NULL, 1–99 | Default warranty duration for every product of this manufacturer. Applies only to products that actually have manufacturers_id set. NULL or 0 = this manufacturer grants no commercial warranty. |
