Fortrydelsesknap.dk Withdrawal Button

From 19 June 2026 every website selling to EU consumers must offer a digital withdrawal button ("withdraw from contract here"). This is required by Directive (EU) 2023/2673 (new Art. 11a of the Consumer Rights Directive). A missing button can extend the consumer's withdrawal right by 12 months. Fortrydelsesknap.dk Withdrawal Button makes you compliant in 2 minutes:

• The legally required button - correctly labelled, prominently displayed (floating, side tab or footer)
• Two-step flow as required by the directive: form -> explicit confirmation step
• Receipt on a durable medium: automatic e-mail confirmation to the consumer with receipt number
• Instant notification to your shop e-mail
• Complete log of all withdrawals in your dashboard (your documentation towards authorities)
• 5 languages, each with the correct local legal term: Danish (fortrydelsesret / fortrydelsesknap), German (Widerrufsrecht / Widerrufsbutton), Swedish (ångerrätt / ångerknapp), Norwegian (angrerett / angreknapp) and English (right of withdrawal / withdrawal button)
• Works with WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, booking plugins, course platforms - anything sold to consumers
