The EU "withdrawal button" becomes mandatory in 2 days — is your store ready?

On 19 June 2026, Directive (EU) 2023/2673 makes a one-click "withdrawal button" legally mandatory for every online store selling to EU consumers. Not a clause buried in your terms — an actual, easy-to-reach button to exercise the right of withdrawal (Art. 11a).

A surprising number of WooCommerce / FluentCart / EDD stores still don't have one — and most "compliance" plugins treat it as a legal-text checkbox rather than what it actually is: a real transaction that needs proof on a durable medium and correct handling of the Art. 59 exemptions.

We ran into this with our own agency clients, so we built a free, open-source plugin for it — but I'm more curious about the room:

• If you sell to the EU, do you already have a withdrawal button live?
• How are you handling the exemptions (sealed-hygiene goods, digital content with consent)?
• Has anyone found a clean way to keep the acknowledgement durable (email + PDF + timestamp)?

Happy to share what we learned building it. 👇
