Adapt WooCommerce for the German market

Germanized for WooCommerce Pro extends WooCommerce with shop functions designed for specific German market requirements. It adds tools for displaying delivery information, base prices, shipping and tax notices, legal pages, checkout agreements, invoices, fulfillment details, and other common German shop functions.

The add-on is intended to help technically adapt a WooCommerce shop to these conditions. It can place legally relevant information in the shopping experience and selected emails, while Pro adds document management, model text generators, food-related features, selected shipping integrations, and professional support via tickets.

Product, checkout, and customer information

Add delivery times to products, optionally using a per-country basis, and set a default delivery time as a fallback. Delivery times can be disabled for certain product types. Base prices can be displayed as additional per-unit prices, with automatic unit-price calculation available in Pro.

WooCommerce product prices, the cart, checkout, and emails can include shipping cost and tax notices. Short cart product descriptions provide a dedicated description within the cart and checkout. Small business regulation notices can also be displayed for shops operating under that regulation.

Checkout tools include checkboxes for terms and conditions, revocation information, privacy policy, and other conditions. A visual interface helps adjust the legal checkbox presentation. Germanized also adapts the checkout and submit button for the German button solution. A withdrawal button can be added for customers to submit withdrawal requests using a form, and EU harmonised guarantee notices can be embedded.

Documents, invoices, and legal content

Pro users can automatically or manually create WooCommerce invoices, packing slips, and commercial invoices for shipments. The built-in visual document editor lets you adjust document layouts. Documents can be exported as CSV or ZIP documents for a tax consultant, or transmitted through integrations with lexware office or sevdesk.

The extension includes support for e-invoices. Legally relevant pages, such as terms and conditions, can be attached as PDF files to selected WooCommerce emails instead of being included only as plain text. Model text generators for terms and revocation pages are also part of the Pro offering.

Food, tax, shipping, and integrations

With Pro food functions, products can display nutrients, ingredients, allergens, deposit-bottle information, and the Nutri-Score. Germanized also supports One Stop Shop functionality, including VAT reports for various time frames and observation of the delivery threshold with notifications when action may be needed.

Shipping and fulfillment options include integrations for Post, DHL, UPS, DPD, GLS, and Hermes, with some integrations identified as Pro. Labels for shipments and returns can be generated from the backend. Trusted Shops products can be integrated, and a separate Shiptastic for WooCommerce plugin is described for shipment, return, and fulfillment management.

Installation and support

Install Germanized for WooCommerce Pro on a WooCommerce site, activate it, and configure the relevant product, checkout, document, email, tax, and shipping settings. Review the available documentation and test the resulting store processes and theme presentation before publishing changes.

Pro customers receive professional help-desk support through tickets. Germanized has also been tested with selected themes and WooCommerce add-ons, including Flatsome, Enfold, Storefront, Astra, OceanWP, WPML, WooCommerce Subscriptions, Product Bundles, and other listed integrations.
