## Description

Since 19 June 2026, Dutch and EU B2C webshops must offer a clear, easily accessible
digital withdrawal function (in Dutch: “herroepingsknop”): withdrawing from a purchase
should be as easy as placing the order. This plugin helps your WooCommerce store
offer and record such a function.

The plugin works right after activation, with no configuration required:

 * Automatically creates a public page named “Herroeping” containing the withdrawal
   form (shortcode `[herroepingsknop]`). If the page is lost, the plugin restores
   it.
 * Two-step process: first the withdrawal declaration, then an explicit confirmation.
   No account is required.
 * Shows the withdrawal button in the order flow: on the order-received (thank-you)
   page, on the order detail page and under My Account  Orders.
 * Verifies the submitted email address against the order, so no one can submit 
   a withdrawal for someone else’s order.
 * Records every request on the order (a dedicated “Herroeping aangevraagd” order
   status, an order note and order meta) and sends a confirmation to the customer
   plus an internal notification. Both emails can be managed under WooCommerce  
   Settings  Emails.
 * Privacy- and security-conscious: nonces, a honeypot, a rate limit and generic
   error messages so order numbers cannot be enumerated.

This plugin records and confirms requests. It does not determine whether a request
is timely, valid or legally enforceable, and it does not guarantee compliance with
any law. As a store owner you remain responsible for the legal assessment, your 
return and withdrawal policy, information duties, retention periods and the handling
of requests. This plugin is not legal advice.

The plugin does not send data to external servers and adds no tracking.

#### Standalone

This plugin is complete and works fully on its own. No account, subscription or 
companion plugin is required. A commercial extension is available separately at 
https://herroeping.nl/.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `herroepingsknop` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or upload the ZIP
    via Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin.
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu. The “Herroeping” page is created 
    automatically.
 3. Add a link to that page in your footer (and optionally the header), visible on 
    every page, and refer to it in your terms and return policy.
 4. Optional: set the internal notification email under WooCommerce  Settings  Herroeping.
 5. Under WooCommerce  Settings  Emails, make sure “Herroeping bevestigd (klant)” and“
    Herroeping ontvangen (intern)” are enabled.

## FAQ

### Does this replace my existing withdrawal form?

No. The button is an addition. Your existing model form may remain; customers may
still withdraw through other channels.

### Does the plugin decide whether a customer may withdraw?

No. The plugin records and confirms the request; you review it and handle the next
steps.

### Does the plugin work with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS)?

Yes. The plugin declares HPOS compatibility and uses the WooCommerce CRUD API.

### My order numbers differ from the order ID.

If you use a sequential order number plugin, connect it through the `herroepingsknop_resolve_order_id`
filter so a submitted order number resolves to the correct order ID.

### The customer does not receive an email.

Many hosts do not send `wp_mail()` reliably. Install an SMTP plugin and connect 
a real mailbox or transactional service, and check that the emails are enabled under
WooCommerce  Settings  Emails.

### What withdrawal period and exclusions does the plugin use?

Safe statutory defaults: a 14-day period (the legal minimum), no product exclusions,
and every request recorded so you can review it manually. These defaults keep the
plugin complete and usable on its own. Developers can adjust the behaviour with 
standard WordPress filters.
