How to install and set up Pandectes EU Warranty & GARAN

Overview


Setting up Pandectes EU Warranty & GARAN takes four steps: tell the app what you sell, add two things to your theme, choose how the notice looks and opens, and (optionally) add the notice to your order confirmation email. The app walks you through them the first time you open it.


The official notice artwork is uploaded for you in the background when you select Finish or Skip onboarding. The notice goes live once every image is ready, which takes about a minute.


Two theme changes are needed, not one. The Pandectes EU Warranty app embed loads the script. The Legal Notice app block decides where the notice renders. Doing one without the other produces a page where nothing appears.


Before you start


  • An Online Store 2.0 theme, so the product template accepts app blocks.
  • Access to the theme editor for your published theme. The app checks the published theme, not a draft or duplicate.
  • Your storefront password page turned off if you want to verify the result yourself.


Install the app


  1. Install Pandectes EU Warranty & GARAN from the Shopify App Store.
  2. Open Shopify Admin > Apps > Pandectes EU Warranty & GARAN.


The app opens on Onboarding. You can leave at any time with Skip onboarding and configure everything manually later. Once you finish or skip, the app menu shows Home, Notice & label, Texts & languages, Garan label list, Visibility options, Setup report, and Plan.


Step 1: Store type


This sets sensible defaults. You can change all of it later.


  1. Tick We sell physical consumer goods to shoppers in the EU. This is what makes the mandatory notice apply.
  2. Tick We also sell digital products, gift cards, or B2B if that is true. It drives the default exclusions so the notice does not appear where it should not.
  3. Under Where do you sell? choose EU only or Worldwide.


Choosing EU only limits the notice to EU markets. You can change that later with EU markets only on the Visibility options page.


  1. Select Next.


Step 2: Theme placement


Two sub-steps. The icon turns into a green check once the app detects the change.


Enable the Pandectes EU Warranty app embed


  1. Select Enable app embed. The theme editor opens on App embeds.
  2. Find Pandectes EU Warranty. You can search for "Pandectes EU Warranty & GARAN".
  3. Turn the toggle on.
  4. Save the theme.
  5. Return to the app.

  1. Select Add Legal Notice. The theme editor opens on the Default product template.
  2. In the left sidebar, open Product information > Details and select Add block.
  3. Search for Legal, open the Apps tab, and select Legal Notice (Pandectes EU Warranty & GARAN).

  1. Drag Legal Notice to where you want it inside Details. The preview on the right shows the notice straight away.

  1. Save the theme.
  2. Return to the app.


The block is added per product template. If your store also uses product.subscription.json, product.bundle.json, or any other alternate product template, add the block to each one. Products on a template without the block show nothing. See How to add the Legal Notice block to multiple product templates.


  1. Select Next.


Step 3: Notice & label


  1. Under Show, choose Legal notice or Legal notice & GARAN. GARAN still only appears on products that have GARAN data. See How to add GARAN labels to your products.
  2. Under Legal notice, choose how the notice opens on the product page:
    • As a popup: a trigger that opens the artwork in a dialog.
    • Collapsed: a summary that expands to the artwork.
    • Always visible: the artwork renders inline on page load.
  4. Under Default language, pick the language shoppers see when their store language has no match.
  5. Pick a shape for the notice: Text link, Row, Button, Pill or Box. Every shape except Text link is part of the Plus plan. On Basic, shoppers see the text link. See How to choose a shape, icon and colors for the legal guarantee notice.
  6. Check the preview on the right. It uses sample product data.
  7. Select Next.


Step 4: Order confirmation email


This step is optional and available on every plan. It adds the legal guarantee notice to the order confirmation email. You can skip it now and come back any time from the Order confirmation email row on the dashboard. Full steps: How to add the legal guarantee notice to your order confirmation email.


Select Finish. On a first install you then land on the Plan page to pick Basic or Plus. The app starts uploading the official artwork for all 24 EU languages into your Shopify files in the background.


Do not rename or delete those images in Shopify Content > Files. The app matches them by filename. Renaming them stops the notice from showing. If the notice stays off, the dashboard shows a Legal Notice images are missing banner with a Sync images button (or Try again if the last attempt failed).


The notice stays off until every image finishes processing.


Confirm the install


Open the app Dashboard. The Storefront status card answers "is it installed?" without opening the theme.

Row

What it means

The card header shows how many widgets are live, for example "2 of 3 live". Use the refresh button at the top right of the card to re-run the theme check after you save the theme. The What's new button above the card lists recent app updates.


Each row also has a shortcut:


  • If the app embed is off, the App embed row shows an Enable app embed button that opens App embeds in the theme editor.
  • Product template, on the Widget (Product) row, opens your product template so you can add or move the Legal Notice block.
  • If other product templates are missing the block, the row warns you, for example "4 other product templates don't show Legal Notice yet." Select View templates to see them.


Under the card, three tiles summarise the rest:


Tile

Meaning

Eligible products

Products included by your Visibility options.

Products with GARAN

Products showing the GARAN label.

Excluded products

Products hidden by your Visibility options.


If the artwork sync is still pending, the notice is not live yet. Wait a minute, then refresh the card. If a Legal Notice images are missing banner shows, select Sync images.


Then open a product page on your storefront. Depending on the display mode you picked, you should see either the artwork inline or a Legal guarantee trigger under Add to cart.


If nothing appears, work through Why the legal guarantee notice is not showing on a product page.
