EU Guarantee Notice

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1960 requires every shop  selling to consumers in the European Union — online and offline — to  display the official harmonised notice on the legal guarantee of  conformity, prominently and at shop level, from 27 September 2026. The  obligation does not depend on what the shop sells, so it reaches every  merchant with EU customers. This extension for Magento puts that notice  on your storefront in all 24 official EU languages, using the European  Commission’s own artwork, unaltered and never cropped, recoloured or  stretched.

The notice is in place from the moment the extension is enabled, with  nothing to configure. It appears at checkout immediately before the  customer places the order, as a link in the footer of every page, as a  tab on every product page beside Details and More Information, and  inside the order confirmation email. Each of those four placements  switches on or off independently and per store view, and a single Enable  setting suppresses all of them at once for a store view that sells  outside the EU. The correct language is chosen automatically from each  store view’s locale — a German store view shows the German notice and a  French one the French notice, with English as the fallback for any  locale outside the 24 — so a multi-language storefront needs no mapping,  no uploads and no per-language setup.

You decide how prominent the notice is. It can render as a compact  thumbnail that opens the full notice in a pop-up, as a single line of  text that opens the same pop-up without showing the artwork, or printed  full size directly into the page. A shop that wants the lightest  possible footprint typically leaves the footer link on and switches the  rest off; a shop building a dedicated consumer-rights or terms page  places the notice full size on that page through the included widget; a  shop that wants shoppers to see it at the moment of purchase keeps the  checkout placement. Every trigger is a genuine link to the notice before  any script runs, so a shopper whose JavaScript has failed still reaches  it in a new tab rather than clicking something inert.

The artwork is itself a link to the official Your Europe guarantees page  in the shopper’s own language — the same destination the notice’s  printed QR code encodes — so scanning the code and clicking the picture  lead to the same information. Merchants who need to point somewhere  else, such as their own guarantee terms, can override the destination  per store view.

Features

• Official Commission artwork in all 24 official EU languages, selected automatically from each store view’s locale, with an English fallback for any other locale.
• Four ready-made placements, all enabled by default — checkout before the order is placed, a footer link on every page, a product-page tab, and the order confirmation email.
• Three view modes — a thumbnail that opens a  pop-up, a text link that opens the same pop-up without the artwork, or  the notice printed full size into the page.
• Works without JavaScript, because every trigger is an ordinary link to the notice that the script upgrades into a dialog rather than replacing.
• Widget and Page Builder content type for placing  the notice on any CMS page, block or layout container, each placement  able to override the configured presentation on its own.
• Full store-view scoping, so language, placement  and wording can differ per country, and a single Enable setting turns  every placement off for a store view that is out of scope.
• Customer-group targeting, including guests, applied consistently to every placement; the confirmation email reads the group from the order.
• Configurable heading and information link, each falling back to wording translated into all 24 languages when left empty.
• Order confirmation email placement above the ordered items or below the grand total, with no email template to edit.
• Optional custom notice image per store view, for merchants who have a considered reason to supply their own.
• Accessible by design — keyboard-operable triggers, descriptive alternative text, and an enlarged readable view of the notice.
• Role-based access through a dedicated ACL resource, so only the admin roles you choose can change the configuration.

Benefits

• Compliant from day one. The extension arrives configured for the common case, so the notice is displayed correctly without a project to set it up.
• No artwork to manage. All 24 official files ship  with the extension and are matched to store views automatically, so  nothing has to be sourced, resized or replaced as your storefront grows.
• Safe to install on a live store. It adds no  database schema, no cron jobs, no controllers, no API endpoints and no  rewrites of core classes, and it makes no outbound network calls.
• Reversible. Disabling the extension removes every placement cleanly, leaving no orphaned footer link, empty tab or modified email template.
• Fits any theme. The notice scales proportionally inside whatever column it is placed in and is never cropped or distorted.

Who needs this extension

Any merchant selling goods to consumers in the European Union.  Regulation (EU) 2025/1960 places the harmonised notice at shop level for  all shops, whatever their assortment, which makes it different from the  Regulation’s second visual, the GARAN label, which applies only per  product and only in specific circumstances. If you sell to EU consumers,  the notice applies to you.

Compatibility

• Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source 2.4.4 through 2.4.9.
• PHP 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5.
• On-premise and cloud deployments.
• Page Builder is optional. With it installed the notice is also  available as a content type; without it the included widget does the  same job.
• Requires the companion package MdSoft AdminCore, which provides  the shared MdSoft configuration tab and is resolved automatically.

What this extension does not cover

Regulation (EU) 2025/1960 introduces a second harmonised visual, the  GARAN label for a commercial guarantee of durability. It applies per  product, and only where the producer offers such a guarantee at no extra  cost, covering the entire good, for longer than two years. That is a  separate obligation from the notice, and this extension does not display  the GARAN label. A companion extension for it is in development and is  not yet available. Merchants who carry no goods with a qualifying  durability guarantee need only the notice, which is what this extension  provides.

Important legal notice

This extension is a technical tool for displaying official European  Union artwork and information. It does not constitute legal advice.  Determining whether, when and where the harmonised notice must be shown  remains the responsibility of the merchant.
