Starting 27 September 2026, merchants selling to EU shoppers must display the new Legal Guarantee Notice and qualifying GARAN labels. Meeting this strict deadline requires showing both disclosures clearly before purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide explains the exact rules for each element and where to place them across your Shopify store. You will learn how to implement both using ready-made apps or native theme features to keep your business fully compliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Difference Between EU Guarantee Notice and GARAN Labels?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both elements come from the same EU regulation, but they serve different purposes and follow different rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EU Legal Guarantee Notice is a mandatory, storewide notice. It reminds shoppers of their statutory right to a minimum two-year guarantee against defective goods. It is a static file that you display without any edits. Every store selling physical goods to EU consumers must show it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GARAN Label is required only when a manufacturer offers a free commercial durability guarantee lasting longer than two years for the whole item. It contains dynamic fields where you must add the brand, model, and guarantee duration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps to Add EU Guarantee Notice to Shopify<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Adding the EU Legal Guarantee Notice to your Shopify theme ensures buyers see required statutory information before purchasing. You can set this up natively using the Shopify editor without paid apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Open the Theme Editor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Log in to your Shopify admin dashboard. From the left sidebar, navigate to Online Store > Themes<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Open<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Locate your active theme and click the Customize<\/strong> button. In the top center dropdown, switch the template view from Home page to Products > Default product<\/strong> to edit your product detail layout.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Select<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Step 2: Add a Custom Liquid Block<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Look at the left-hand sidebar containing your template sections. Under the Product information<\/strong> section, click Add section<\/strong> and select Custom Liquid<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drag this block to place it near the price, variant selectors, or buy buttons so it remains clearly visible before checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Add<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Step 3: Add the Liquid Code<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, upload your official EU Legal Guarantee Notice graphic to your store under Content > Files<\/strong> and copy the file URL. Then, paste the following snippet into your Custom Liquid block:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<div class=\"eu-guarantee-notice\" style=\"margin: 15px 0; padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #e5e5e5; border-radius: 6px; display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 12px;\">\n\n\u00a0\u00a0<img src=\"YOUR_UPLOADED_IMAGE_URL\" alt=\"EU Legal Guarantee Notice\" style=\"max-width: 80px; height: auto;\" \/>\n\n\u00a0\u00a0<div style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; color: #333;\">\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<strong>EU Statutory Legal Guarantee:<\/strong> All goods sold to consumers within the EU are covered by a minimum 2-year legal guarantee of conformity.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/europa.eu\/youreurope\/citizens\/consumers\/shopping\/guarantees-returns\/index_en.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: #0056b3; text-decoration: underline; display: block; margin-top: 4px;\">Learn more on Your Europe<\/a>\n\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Replace YOUR_UPLOADED_IMAGE_URL with your direct file link. Displaying mandatory European regulatory details on product pages is becoming standard practice; for example, stores follow similar transparency requirements when setting up EU GPSR for Shopify<\/a> to display verified safety and responsible person data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Preview the Notice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Click Save<\/strong> in the top right corner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use the screen toggle to review how the notice renders on both desktop and mobile devices. Ensure the graphic displays crisply, the text is easy to read, and the link to the EU portal opens correctly in a new tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Steps to Add GARAN Label to Shopify<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Unlike the static storewide notice, the GARAN label applies only to specific items that come with an extended manufacturer durability guarantee. You can manage this conditionally across your catalog using native Shopify Metafields and a custom Liquid section without paying for extra apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Create a Product Metafield<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Custom data<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under the Metafields<\/strong> section, click on Products<\/strong>, then click Add definition<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
Set the Name<\/strong> to GARAN Label Image<\/strong>, the Namespace and key<\/strong> to custom.garan_label_image<\/strong>, and choose the type as File<\/strong> (select images only). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This metafield will hold the customized GARAN badge for each eligible product.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
Step 2: Add the Guarantee Label to a Product<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Navigate to Products<\/strong> in your Shopify admin and select a product that carries a qualified durability guarantee. Scroll down to the bottom of the product edit page to find the Metafields<\/strong> card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Click on GARAN Label Image<\/strong>, upload your generated product badge containing the correct duration, brand, and model details, and click Save<\/strong>. Leave this field blank for products that do not qualify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Create a Liquid Code Section<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Go to Online Store > Themes<\/strong>. Click the three dots next to your active theme and select Edit code<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
In the left sidebar, open the Sections<\/strong> folder and click Add a new section<\/strong>. Name it garan-label.liquid<\/strong>, clear the default code, and paste the following snippet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
{% if product.metafields.custom.garan_label_image != blank %}\n\n\u00a0\u00a0<div class=\"garan-label-wrapper\" style=\"margin: 15px 0;\">\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<img\u00a0\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0src=\"{{ product.metafields.custom.garan_label_image | image_url: width: 300 }}\"\u00a0\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0alt=\"EU Commercial Guarantee of Durability (GARAN)\"\u00a0\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0style=\"max-width: 140px; height: auto; display: block;\"\u00a0\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\/>\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/europa.eu\/youreurope\/citizens\/consumers\/shopping\/guarantees-returns\/index_en.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"font-size: 12px; color: #0056b3; text-decoration: underline; margin-top: 4px; display: inline-block;\">\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0View EU Durability Guarantee Details\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>\n\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n\n{% endif %}<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Click Save<\/strong>. This code ensures the label only renders when an image is present in the product metafield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Add the Section to Product Page<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Open Online Store > Themes<\/strong> and click Customize<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the top dropdown, open Products > Default product<\/strong> template. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the left panel, click Add section<\/strong> or Add block<\/strong> under the main product details, select your new GARAN Label<\/strong> component, and position it directly below your product price or inventory status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Preview the Product Page<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Open a product where you uploaded the badge to confirm the GARAN label displays cleanly beside your product details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, check a regular product that lacks the guarantee to ensure the block remains completely hidden. Finally, test the display on mobile to verify proper sizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
