Selling online in the EU is not only about products, checkout and payment.
It is also about consumer rights.
And one of those rights is the right of withdrawal: in many cases, customers must be able to withdraw from an online contract within the legal withdrawal period.
Until now, many websites handled this with text in the terms, a PDF form, or an email address hidden somewhere near the legal pages.
That is changing.
From 19 June 2026, new EU rules require online traders to provide an electronic withdrawal function for relevant distance contracts concluded online. The idea is simple: withdrawing from a contract should be easy, visible and directly possible through the online interface. (www.hoganlovells.com)
So, if customers can order online, they should also be able to withdraw online.
But where does this form come from?
Not every shop runs WooCommerce. Not every business wants a heavy legal-tech system. And not every website owner wants to build a custom form, email handling, success message and admin notification just to solve one compliance task.
That is where atec Withdrawal Form comes in.
The plugin adds a simple online withdrawal form to your WordPress site. Visitors can submit a withdrawal declaration directly on the website, using a form with name, order reference, email address and optional message. The plugin sends a confirmation email to the user and notifies the site administrator.
Setup is intentionally small: install the plugin, activate it, and add the shortcode:
[atec_withdrawal_form]
to any page. No WooCommerce requirement. No complex configuration. It works with any WordPress site.
That makes it useful for shops, service providers, digital product sellers, small businesses and anyone who wants a clear withdrawal page without turning the whole site into a legal software project.
Of course, a plugin does not replace legal advice. You still need to know whether your contracts are covered, what your withdrawal policy says, and where the withdrawal function should be placed on your site.
But technically, the website needs a simple thing:
A visible page where customers can submit their withdrawal online.
atec Withdrawal Form by atec Plugins helps you add exactly that.
