Last week, I received an email from an e-shop owner who had postponed installing the withdrawal button for a month. The reason wasn’t money or time \u2014 it was simply that they didn’t know where to start<\/strong>. WordPress administration, the plugin directory, settings, test purchases \u2014 the whole thing seemed too complicated to handle in one evening. <\/p>\n\n

I made a short video guide for them. And since I suspect you might be facing the same concern, I’m posting it here publicly. In this article, we will look at how to download the withdrawal button<\/strong> from the WordPress.org directory, how to set it up with a few clicks, and how to verify that it actually works. Finally, I will also discuss when the free version is sufficient and when it is worth considering the Basic or Pro versions. <\/p>\n\n

Before you start \u2014 check three things<\/h2>\n\n

The plugin itself is preceded by three minutes of preparation. Do not skip this, as it will be more tedious later. <\/p>\n\n

First<\/strong> \u2014 you must have WordPress administrator access for your WooCommerce store. Not “Editor” or “Shop Manager,” but Administrator. If you are unsure, go to Users \u2192 All Users<\/strong> and check your role in the row. <\/p>\n\n

Second<\/strong> \u2014 make a backup. Every time you install a new plugin, taking care of a backup is as important as fastening your seatbelt in a car. It doesn’t matter if there is an apparent danger or not. If your hosting provider has automatic backups (Zone, for example, does), check that it has been updated within the last 24 hours. <\/p>\n\n

Third<\/strong> \u2014 choose a time when there is no traffic in your store. Around 10 PM or early in the morning. Never in the middle of the day when customers are in the shop. <\/p>\n

Video guide: WordPress.org \u2192 active plugin in 5 minutes<\/h2>\n\n

I recorded this video in my RAdezain.ee e-shop. Let’s look at it step-by-step: <\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Plugins \u2192 Add New<\/strong> from the WordPress administration<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Search for: EU Withdrawal Button for WooCommerce<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Install Now<\/strong> \u2192 Activate<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The plugin settings page will open automatically<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Enter the email address where you want to receive notifications (it can be the same as the WooCommerce admin email, or a separate one, for example returns@mystore.ee<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Add a link to your return policy page (if you don’t have one yet, create it first \u2014 it’s mandatory anyway)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Save<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    At the end of the video, I also show how a “Return Product” button appears next to each order on the “My Account”<\/strong> page. Click on it, and a modal pop-up<\/strong> opens (a small form on the same page, without navigating elsewhere) \u2014 where the customer’s order details are pre-filled, and they only need to select the product, add a bank account, and press “Submit.” <\/p>\n\n

    If you prefer a text guide with more detailed steps instead of a video, I have a step-by-step guide for the WooCommerce withdrawal button<\/a>, where every button is covered with a screenshot.<\/p>\n\n

    Test purchase and test return \u2014 the part most entrepreneurs skip<\/h2>\n\n

    This is where most people make a mistake: they install the plugin, see that everything looks fine in the settings, and start celebrating. But until you have played through a return from the customer’s perspective<\/strong>, you don’t know if it actually works. <\/p>\n\n

    What to do:<\/p>\n\n
