Applies 27 September 2026
Is your Shopify store ready for 27 September?
From 27 September 2026 every shop selling to consumers in the EU has to show the harmonised notice on the legal guarantee of conformity at the point of sale. The notice is a fixed design published in all 24 official languages: online it must be shown in colour, and none of it may be edited — not the wording, not the colours, not the layout, not the QR code.
Paste your shop address below. The check reads your home page and a sample of live product pages and tells you whether the notice is there.
Free, no signup, no account, nothing installed on your shop. We read your home page and a sample of live product pages.
Where the notice goes on Shopify
- The notice is artwork, not a sentence you can type into a description — so it belongs in the product template, not in product copy.
- On Shopify that means a theme app extension block added to the product template in the theme editor, so it renders on every product without editing each one.
- It has to follow the language of the page. A German product page needs the German notice, not the English one.
Shopify ships a generic Disclosures product metafield for legally required warnings. That is a place to keep text; it is not the harmonised notice, and filling it in does not render the artwork.
Doing it with an app
EU Compliance Kit renders the notice, the GARAN durability label, Omnibus prior prices and GPSR safety details on every product page.

What this check can and cannot see
Everything below comes from the HTML your shop sends an ordinary visitor. That is a real limit, not a disclaimer, so here is exactly where it bites.
What it sees
- The HTML your server sends for your home page and up to a dozen product pages.
- Text and links that are present in that HTML.
What it cannot see
- Anything your shop builds in the browser. If we could not find something, that is not proof it is missing — open the page and look before you change anything.
- Pages we did not open. We read a sample of your products, never the whole catalogue.
- Your product data: which goods are sold by weight or volume (which is why we do not check the Grundpreis at all), which products have a manufacturer or EU Responsible Person recorded, or what your prices were last month.
- Anything that is not on a page. Packaging registration (LUCID) and tax registration leave no trace in a storefront, so no scanner can check them.
Shopify sends most of a product page as HTML, so the check sees more here than on Wix — but theme blocks and apps that render in the browser are still invisible to it.
What only an installed app can do
- Read every product, not a sample.
- Read the product fields themselves instead of guessing from rendered text.
- Know which languages your shop actually publishes.
- Re-check on its own as you add products, instead of when you remember to.
