Right of Withdrawal for PrestaShop — EU Directive 2023/2673 Compliance (Art. 11a) from Day One
The PrestaShop withdrawal module your store needs to comply with the new European online selling rules. From 19 June 2026, Directive (EU) 2023/2673 forces every PrestaShop store to offer an electronic, permanent and visible withdrawal function. An email is no longer enough: the law requires a button labelled "withdraw from the contract here", accessible throughout the entire legal period. BK Right of Withdrawal implements it natively in PrestaShop 1.7, 8 and 9 — without touching the core, without coding and compatible with any theme.
Mandatory from 19 June 2026 — Is Your PrestaShop Ready?
The Directive (EU) 2023/2673, adopted on 22 November 2023 and published in the OJEU, introduces the new Article 11a into Directive 2011/83/EU: any online store —including your PrestaShop store— that allows distance contracts to be concluded through a web interface must mandatorily enable an electronic withdrawal function. It must be labelled, permanently visible during the withdrawal period and as easy to use as the PrestaShop checkout. If your PrestaShop does not have it, the legal period is automatically extended to 12 months and 14 days and you are exposed to "effective, proportionate and dissuasive" penalties (Art. 24). Installing BK Right of Withdrawal on your PrestaShop brings you up to date in minutes.
What the Law Requires — What This PrestaShop Module Gives You
Mandatory Withdrawal Function (Art. 11a)
The new Article 11a requires a dedicated, labelled and accessible function. The module implements it in PrestaShop as an electronic form reachable from the footer, the "My account" area and the order detail — with no need for the customer to search for it.
Immediate Acknowledgement on a Durable Medium
The Directive requires confirming the withdrawal content to the consumer with exact date and time. The module sends that email automatically from PrestaShop the moment it is submitted, with every field required by law.
As Easy to Withdraw as to Buy
The law requires withdrawal to be no more burdensome than purchasing. With BK Right of Withdrawal, the customer finds and submits their request in fewer steps than placing a PrestaShop order — ease-of-use principle guaranteed.
14-Day Period with No Penalty
The consumer can withdraw within 14 days without justification. Without the function active on your PrestaShop, that period becomes 12 months and 14 days. The module calculates the countdown correctly from the order, shipping, delivery date or status you choose.
Complete 8-Status Workflow
From "Pending" to "Closed", manage each request from the PrestaShop back office with full history, responsible employee and internal notes. Meet the requirement to document the process and keep proof for any inspection.
Automatic Emails on Every Status Change
The customer is notified at every stage through the PrestaShop email system. The team receives configurable internal alerts. Everything is documented on a durable medium, exactly as Art. 11a requires.
Legal Exclusions by PrestaShop Category
Configure the PrestaShop categories with no right of withdrawal (custom-made goods, perishables, downloaded digital content with consent, etc.) so the function does not appear where the law does not require it.
Native PrestaShop Multilingual
Withdrawal URL, page title, meta title, intro text and legal text customisable in every language of your PrestaShop. Default texts included in 6 European languages so you can go live in minutes.

Why Install It on Your PrestaShop Now?
The Law Applies from 19 June 2026
Directive 2023/2673 is mandatory across the entire EU from 19 June 2026. If your PrestaShop store does not have the withdrawal function active, you are already non-compliant. Don't wait for a complaint to arrive.
Install in Minutes, Immediate Protection
The module installs like any PrestaShop module and comes pre-configured with legal texts in 6 languages and default URLs. Install, activate and within minutes your withdrawal function is live and compliant — no lawyer required.
Without the Module, You Manage Requests Blindly
If you receive withdrawal requests by email or phone, you have no documentary proof or deadline control. The module centralises everything inside PrestaShop with timestamps, history and automatic emails.
One Module for All Your European Markets
Independent URLs, titles and legal texts for every language of your PrestaShop. Whether you sell in Spain, France, Italy, Germany or Portugal, the module adapts the withdrawal function to the buyer's language.
Protect Your Reputation Before It's Too Late
A poorly handled request can turn into a 1-star review. With the module, the customer perceives your PrestaShop process as professional and transparent — even in the worst case, you protect the experience.
Documentary Proof for Inspections
With the full history of each request —date, status, employee, internal comments— your PrestaShop proves it complies with Directive 2023/2673. Consumer authorities will find no weak spot.
Perfect for Any PrestaShop Store Selling in the EU
If you sell online to European consumers with PrestaShop, Directive 2023/2673 applies to you. This module adapts to your business model
General E-commerce
Any PrestaShop store selling to consumers must offer the withdrawal function. Install the module and comply with European law without touching the core or commissioning custom development.
Multilingual & International Stores
With several languages active in PrestaShop, each market needs its translated withdrawal function. The module manages URL, texts and emails per language natively.

If your PrestaShop mixes products with and without the right of withdrawal, exclude specific categories (custom-made, perishable, digital) and the button only appears where the law requires.
Stores with a Support Team
Centralise all withdrawal requests in the PrestaShop back office. The team manages statuses, internal comments and notifications from a single, tidy panel.
Businesses with Strict Compliance
If you need documentary proof for inspections or audits, the full history of each request in PrestaShop —with dates, employee and reasons— backs you up legally.
Marketplaces & Multistore
