WooCommerce plugin · version 0.4 · in use at fahrradshop24.com
Since Sept 27, 2026

New information requirements apply since September 27, 2026

Directive (EU) 2024/825 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1960 introduce new, harmonized notices on the legal guarantee and on producer guarantees.

Two things matter for your store – and they must be kept clearly apart: the notice on the legal guarantee and the EU guarantee label (GARAN).

Legal guarantee

Applies to consumer sales

Official notice on the legal guarantee.

Consumers should be clearly informed about their legal guarantee rights before they buy. Veriado Guarantee shows the official EU notice automatically on your WooCommerce product pages.

GARAN

Only for a qualifying producer guarantee

Not every guarantee meets the requirements.

The label only applies if the producer grants a free commercial guarantee of durability covering the entire product for more than two years. This is exactly where guarantee management helps.

Setup

Live in your store within minutes

  1. 01 Install the plugin Upload and activate the WooCommerce plugin
  2. 02 Choose the position Buy box, below it or a separate section
  3. 03 Notice is shown Official EU notice on every product page

The legal guarantee notice is enabled by default after activation.

For producer guarantees you deliberately stay in control: a GARAN label only appears once you have checked and approved a guarantee.

Features

What Veriado Guarantee handles in your store

All features describe the current state of version 0.4.

EU legal guarantee notice

The official notice, unaltered, on every product page, enabled by default.

24 languages

All 24 official language versions are included; the notice follows your store language.

Flexible position

In the buy box (default), below it or as a separate “Legal guarantee & guarantee” section. Optionally also at checkout right before “Buy” and in the order confirmation.

EU GARAN label

Official template, filled automatically with brand, model and guarantee duration – only for products with an approved producer guarantee.

Variable products

For variable products the label matches the selected variation.

Guarantee rules

Rules by brand, category, SKU prefix or EAN – with priority and exclusion of individual products.

Sources & evidence

Each rule with a producer link or uploaded PDF. Draft → approval → frozen version, optionally with four-eyes approval.

Order record

For every order line the plugin stores which version was shown at the time of purchase.

Data protection

No customer or order data leaves your store for the guarantee scan.

When in doubt, no label

If information is unclear, expired or contradictory, the plugin rather shows no GARAN label than a possibly wrong one.

The checkout display uses the classic WooCommerce checkout. With the new block checkout the record is stored with the order; the display there is still in preparation.

Veriado guarantee scan

Producer guarantees backed by evidence instead of guesswork

You don’t have to research hundreds of producer guarantees yourself

Bike and sports retailers in particular often carry dozens or hundreds of brands. Their guarantee terms differ considerably:

  • frame, components, motor or battery
  • entire product or only individual parts
  • registration required
  • first owner only
  • different durations
  • different conditions per country

A long guarantee therefore does not automatically mean that the GARAN label may be used.

How the guarantee scan works

  1. 01
    Detect brands

    Once a day the plugin sends the brand names in your store and the number of products per brand – no customer or order data.

  2. 02
    Research producer sources

    Veriado looks for the official guarantee terms on producer websites, in official PDFs and guarantee documents. Source and check date are stored.

  3. 03
    Analyze the guarantee

    The terms are evaluated in a structured way, with the verbatim passage:

    • duration
    • entire product or components only (frame, motor, battery …)
    • registration requirement
    • exclusions and other conditions
  4. 04
    Review by Veriado

    Not adopted automatically: every proposal is reviewed by Veriado before it is made available to retailers.

  5. 05
    You decide

    You receive an email and see the proposal in the plugin – producer, guarantee, duration, source and relevant passage. Then you decide: accept or dismiss. Nothing is activated automatically.

  6. 06
    Detect changes

    If a producer changes its guarantee terms, the service detects the changed source and provides a new proposal.

The guarantee scan starts as a pilot, initially with brands from the bike trade. There is no claim to completeness – you can add your own rules at any time.

Example: bike retail

5 years of guarantee does not automatically mean GARAN

Two simplified, abstract examples – not based on real producer terms:

Producer XY

Frame guarantee

  • 5-year guarantee on the bike frame
  • 2 years on components

This does not mean: “5-year producer guarantee – show the GARAN label”. What matters is a guarantee of durability for the entire product.

Producer XY

Guarantee on the entire product

  • free guarantee of durability
  • 4 years on the entire product

This case can in principle be relevant for GARAN – after review and your approval.

Veriado Guarantee reflects exactly this distinction: without a confirmed guarantee on the entire product, a rule cannot be approved.

Data protection

Your customer data stays in your store

The plugin shows the legal guarantee notice entirely locally. Only if you connect the guarantee scan with an installation key does your store report once a day:

Transmitted

  • brand names
  • number of products per brand
  • technical details: store address, versions of WordPress, WooCommerce, PHP and the plugin

Not transmitted

  • customer data
  • names
  • addresses
  • orders
  • payment data

Without an installation key the plugin does not connect to Veriado at all.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need the GARAN label for every product?

No. The GARAN label is only relevant under certain conditions: if the producer grants a free guarantee of durability covering the entire product for more than two years.

Is a long frame guarantee enough?

No. A guarantee on the frame alone does not automatically mean that the guarantee covers the entire product.

Are guarantees activated automatically?

No. Veriado proposes reviewed guarantees. You decide whether to accept a proposal; a guarantee rule only becomes active after your approval.

What data does my store send to Veriado?

For the guarantee scan: brand names and product counts per brand plus technical details (store address, software versions). No customer or order data. Nothing at all without an installation key.

Does the plugin work with variable products?

Yes. Variations are supported: the GARAN label changes with the selected variation.

Do I have to research guarantee terms myself?

You can add your own rules with evidence. In addition, the Veriado guarantee scan can provide reviewed proposals including sources.

Where is the legal guarantee notice shown?

On every product page – in the buy box, below it or in a separate section. Optionally also in the classic WooCommerce checkout right before “Buy” and in the order confirmation.

Is Veriado Guarantee legal advice?

No. The plugin supports the implementation technically and organizationally. Legal questions should be checked individually where needed.
