Cancellation shortcodes: * `[grdv_widerruf_button]` follows the globally configured popup or page behavior; * `[grdv_widerruf_button mode="popup"]` explicitly opens the accessible popup; * `[grdv_widerruf_button mode="page"]` explicitly links to the configured cancellation page; * `[grdv_widerruf_form]` renders the cancellation form on a page. Contract termination shortcodes: * `[grdv_kuendigung_button]` renders the configurable public cancellation link; * `[grdv_kuendigung_form]` renders the complete confirmation form on one public page. The contract termination form captures the termination type, reason for an extraordinary termination, identifying data, contract identification, and requested end date. The public `Verträge hier kündigen` and final `jetzt kündigen` labels remain fixed. After submission, the plugin stores the declaration with a reference and server- side timestamp, immediately shows a receipt, offers a permanent text download, and sends receipt emails to the consumer and operator. The Stripe customer portal is not required for submitting a cancellation. Operators can match and process the recorded declaration manually or add a separate server- side Stripe integration later. This plugin is only a technical aid, not legal advice. Its supplied texts and workflows are general suggestions and carry no guarantee of completeness, currency, fitness for a particular business model, or legal compliance. Have the complete production setup reviewed by qualified counsel before use and after relevant legal changes. The website operator remains responsible for configuration, placement, privacy information, delivery monitoring, retention, deletion, and processing. This notice does not limit liability that cannot legally be excluded. #### Privacy and data handling Submitted declarations are stored in dedicated tables in the site’s own WordPress database. Depending on the form, this includes the name, email address, contract information, optional message or cancellation reason, requested end date, submission time, receipt content, and mail-transport status. Version 2.2 and later do not record the submitting IP address or browser user-agent for new declarations. The plugin sends confirmation messages through the site’s configured WordPress mail transport to the submitting person and the configured operator address. It does not contact a gRDV service, analytics provider, CDN, payment provider, or other external API. Website operators remain responsible for documenting this processing, defining retention and deletion procedures, securing WordPress and email delivery, and responding to data-subject requests. Uninstalling the plugin permanently deletes its settings and both custom database tables, including all stored cancellation and contract termination records. Export any records that must be retained before uninstalling. ## Screenshots [⌊The administration overview combines workflow statistics, integration shortcodes, and the legal-use notice.⌉⌊The administration overview combines workflow statistics, integration shortcodes, and the legal-use notice.⌉[ The administration overview combines workflow statistics, integration shortcodes, and the legal-use notice.

Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin in WordPress. 3. Open `gRDV Cancellation & Contract Termination` in the WordPress admin. 4. Choose popup or standalone-page behavior in the cancellation settings. For a standalone page, create and publish a public page with `[grdv_widerruf_form]`. 5. Create and publish a public cancellation page with `[grdv_kuendigung_form]`. 6. Enter both public page URLs in the respective settings. 7. Place `[grdv_kuendigung_button]` in a permanently available location such as the global footer. 8. Test storage, browser receipts, downloads, and email delivery. ## FAQ ### Does this require WooCommerce? No. The plugin is intentionally independent from shop and payment systems. ### Does cancellation require a WordPress or Stripe login? No. The cancellation button and confirmation page are designed to be publicly accessible. ### Does the plugin cancel subscriptions automatically in Stripe? No. Version 2.0 records the cancellation independently from Stripe so a failed customer match cannot prevent receipt of the declaration. A server-side Stripe processing integration can be added separately. ### Which cancellation button labels can I edit? The public label `Verträge hier kündigen` and final confirmation label `jetzt kündigen` are fixed to prevent accidental non-compliant wording. ### Is this legally compliant by itself? No plugin can guarantee legal compliance for every contract and business model. Have the final setup and processing procedure reviewed by qualified counsel. ### Is it translatable? Yes. Interface strings use the `grdv-widerruf` text domain. Configurable text and page URLs can be maintained separately for German (informal and formal), English( US and UK), and every additional language enabled in WPML directly in the plugin settings. Design, delivery, and technical settings remain shared across languages; WPML String Translation is not required for these fields. Additional languages initially use the English source defaults until their content is customized. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “gRDV Cancellation & Contract Termination” is open source software.
