EU Guarantee Notice & GARAN Label

About the Extension
Two EU guarantee rules, one shop
From 27 September 2026, online shops have to show the statutory legal-guarantee notice, and may show the GARAN label for durability guarantees that qualify for it. This plugin supports both — the obligation and the voluntary label — so the information is complete, consistent and visible where buyers expect it, instead of being patched together from separate tools.
The statutory legal-guarantee notice
The notice is official Commission artwork and is rendered exactly as published — never retyped, recoloured or resized. All 24 official EU languages ship with the plugin, and the right one is chosen for each customer automatically: the storefront's own language, otherwise another version of the same language, and English as a last resort.
You decide where it appears. Product page, cart, checkout confirmation and footer can each be enabled independently. By default the product page and the confirmation page carry a line naming the buyer's guarantee rights that opens the full notice on the first click — the presentation the Commission's Practical Guidelines illustrate for online use. Switch it to the always-visible rendering if you would rather have it in the page. Products that are not consumer goods, such as vouchers, services or deposits, can opt out, and selected B2B customer groups can be excluded. If Shopware's own legal-guarantee notice is switched on as well, the plugin configuration warns you, so customers never see the notice twice.
The GARAN durability label
The GARAN label is the official mark for commercial durability guarantees. The plugin genemplate, filling in only the three permitted values — guarantee duration, producer brand andmodel identifier. Every fixed element is left untouched, the QR code included: it leads to the Commission's portal on durability guarantees, and is republished as a text link beside the label as the Practical Guidelines require. Values that do not fit are scaled to the official layout, never truncated.
The label is not simply switched on. Every configured guarantee is checked against the official qualification criteria before anything is shown: it must be offered by the producer, free of charge, cover the entire product, last longer than two years in whole half-year steps — so 30 months at the shortest — and carry a producer brand and a model identifier. Seven distinct statuses tell you exactly why a label is withheld.
Create a guarantee once, assign it by rule
Under Catalogues > EU Label Rules you create a guarantee once and apply it to every proons — all products of a manufacturer, a category or with a given property, for example.Conditions are edited with the same editor as in the Rule Builder, and a label is filled in exactly like a product's Guarantee tab. When several labels match a product, the one with the higher priority wins. A product's own settings still take precedence, and the manufacturer default applies only wheren also hide the statutory notice for every product it covers, for example for vouchers.
Guarantee data that stays consistent
Products carry a dedicated Guarantee tab, manufacturers carry their own defaults, and the catalogue: a variant inherits from its parent product, a product from a matching EU labelrule or from its manufacturer, and every level can be overridden or switched off individually. When a product has no model identifier of its own, the plugin uses its manufacturer product number by default. Per manufacturer you can choose the product number, product name, EAN/GTIN or a custom field instead, without anything being saved on your products. The guarantee conditions can be a URL or an uploaded document.
A live preview on both the product and the manufacturer screens shows exactly what will be resolved and displayed — including the values a variant inherits and the reasons a label is withheld. A missing duration, brand or model, an expired configuration or a value that cannot be expressed in the official format is reported before it reaches your customers. Outside its validity period, a guarantee is not shown.
Maintain large catalogues efficiently
To change many products at once, select them in Catalogues > Products and choose Edit gu tick are changed, up to 500 products per run. All guarantee data can also be exported to CSV and imported again under Settings > Import/Export: products, manufacturers, EU label rules including their conditions, and the order records. Rows identify products by product number, manufacturers by name and orders by order number, so a spreadsheet from an ERP works without Shopware IDs. Unknown refe instead of being created, and imported products are revalidated immediately. Through theAdmin API, an ERP, PIM or supplier feed can also read and write the data directly.
Orders and order confirmations
Every order placed while the plugin is active is documented. An immutable snapshot stores which notice version and which guarantee data applied to each line item at the time of the order — evaluated on the order date, not on today's catalogue. The order detail page shows the record, and the confirmation ion resent later still describes the order as it was.
The official notice PDF is attached to the order confirmation, fulfilling the duty to deliver the notice on a durable medium after the sale. For every qualifying product, the full GARAN label is attached as well, as a label-sized PDF with a scannable QR code — products of the same model share one file. Producer guarantee statements are attached as documents, with identical documents attached only once. If your shop sends the confirmation later, for example once the order is paid, simply select those mail templates — ed whichever flow sends them.
Validation and operations
Catalogue validation is continuous rather than a one-off audit. A scheduled task revalidates the catalogue daily, so validity windows that lapse overnight are caught automatically, and the same validation can be run from the command line for single products, manufacturers or the whole catalogue. A Store API endpoint lets headless storefronts display the same notice, labels and guarantee information.
- Live validation preview on the product and manufacturer screens
- Role-based permissions for guarantee data, EU label rules and order-snapshot access
- Five import/export profiles covering all guarantee data
- A command-line tool that checks and prepares the official artwork
The plugin works exclusively with the official Commission files and never invents artwork going live, review the final configuration for your own legal situation: the plugin supportsthe implementation, it does not replace legal advice.
