Starting June 19, 2026, the Consumer Contracts Act will be tightened, requiring Danish online stores to offer a digital cancellation feature. Consumers must be able to cancel their online purchases via a clear and easily accessible feature, not just via email or a paper form. The rule stems from EU Directive 2023/2673 and takes effect on the same date throughout the EU.
What does the new law require?
- An online cancellation feature that is easily accessible throughout the entire cancellation period.
- A two-step process to prevent customers from canceling by accident.
- A confirmation sent to the customer on a durable medium, typically email.
- Canceling a purchase must be at least as easy as making one.

You don’t need to build anything yourself. The digital cancellation feature is part of the platform and works in all online stores. The customer cancels in two steps; the order is automatically marked, and both the customer and the store are notified. You decide how to handle the process yourself, so the feature does not replace your oversight of refunds and returns.
