EU Order Compliance Attachments for Shopify
Automatically attach terms and withdrawal notices as durable order documents
- Problem
- EU consumer law requires sellers to give buyers their terms and withdrawal information, including the model withdrawal form, on a durable medium such as an email or PDF, not just a link to an editable page. Shopify's order confirmation attaches nothing by default, so most stores either skip it or patch it manually. It's a clear penalty risk in a gap the platform leaves open.
- Solution
- A Shopify app that automatically attaches a versioned PDF of the store's terms and withdrawal notice to order confirmation and shipping emails, picking templates by language and destination country and keeping a send log for audits. Store owners configure it once in the admin.
- Users
- EU-facing Shopify store owners, small cross-border e-commerce teams, and agencies managing stores
- MVP
- Auto-hook into order confirmation and shipping emails; multilingual terms and withdrawal-form templates; generate a versioned PDF attachment per order and log it; admin view of whether each order was covered; exportable compliance records
- Revenue
- Monthly subscription tiered by order volume; a basic free tier for small sellers; bulk discounts for agencies by store count
- Why now
- More small cross-border EU sellers face compliance checks while Shopify's native flow leaves this gap; the scope is small enough for one developer to ship
