# Revoke/Withdrawal button

**Starting June 19, 2026**, the so-called "**Revoke button**" (or "**Withdrawal button**") will become mandatory for many online stores in Germany. Customers must then be able to submit their revocation **electronically and directly within the shop**. According to Shopware, this mainly affects stores selling to consumers, while clearly separated pure B2B shops are generally not affected.

## ThemeWare® is ready

ThemeWare® can display the revocation button from version **3.7.4 onwards for Shopware 6.6.10.14**, or from version **4.3.0 onwards for Shopware 6.7.9**.

It will then be displayed – as intended by Shopware – in the **"Service Hotline" footer widget** (see screenshot).

## Activate the revoke button

### Shopware

The "**Revoke a contract**" button is a default Shopware feature. You can enable it in your Shopware settings under **Basic information**.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip**: Make sure that a suitable CMS layout with a revocation form is assigned as the **"Shop page layout for revocation request"** – Shopware should have already created a suitable layout during the update.
{% endhint %}

### ThemeWare®

In ThemeWare®, all you need to do is ensure that the **"Service Hotline" footer widget** is included in your footer.

> see Tab "Footer" ⇒ Block "Assigning and arranging content" ⇒ Element 1 - 11

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: The revoke button will appear in the **"Service Hotline" footer widget** (see [Manual](https://docs.themeware.design/additional-features/widgets/service-hotline)). Make sure you have included this widget in your footer.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip**: ThemeWare® also has a dedicated **"Revocation" footer widget** (see [Manual](https://docs.themeware.design/additional-features/widgets/revocation)) from version 5.0.1 onwards.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important**: If the button is not displayed, please check that you have configured Shopware correctly, that the ‘Service Hotline’ widget is included in your footer, and that no third-party extensions or custom template modifications are interfering with the intended display.
{% endhint %}
