Online Purchase Returns to Become Effortless with New EU Directive Requiring Clear 'Return Button'
Eindeloos zoeken in een webshop hoe je een bestelling moet annuleren of terugsturen? Dat moet snel verleden tijd zijn. Webwinkels moeten een dezer dagen een duidelijke en makkelijk vindbare knop of functie hebben om bestellingen binnen 14 dagen na ontvangst terug te sturen. Bedrijven mogen zelf weten hoe die knop eruitziet. Die moet wel direct duidelijk maken waarvoor die is, zegt toezichthouder Autoriteit Consument & Markt (ACM).

Returning online purchases is set to become significantly easier for consumers across the EU, thanks to a new directive mandating webshops to provide a clear and easily accessible 'return button' or function. This change aims to simplify the process of canceling or returning orders within the 14-day cooling-off period mandated by EU law. Businesses will have flexibility in naming the button, but its purpose must be immediately obvious. The Autoriteit Consument & Markt (ACM) in the Netherlands emphasizes that this button must be visible and accessible throughout the reflection period, without requiring app downloads or complex steps. Consumers will only need to provide essential order-finding information, avoiding redundant data entry. Upon successful return initiation, webshops must send a confirmation including the date and time. Consumer organizations welcome this move, anticipating a more streamlined and consumer-friendly online shopping experience.
The mandatory 'return button' for online purchases simplifies consumer rights across the EU, enhancing the ease of returning goods and strengthening buyer protection.
