  • Estonia will require online stores to provide an easily accessible button or equivalent tool for cancelling purchases.
  • Consumers will retain the right to withdraw from an online contract within 14 days, even if they cannot find the button.
  • The European Union requirement enters into force on September 1, 2026, through amendments to Estonian consumer and contract law.

Cancelling an online purchase in Estonia will soon become a one-click process. Shoppers will no longer need to download and complete a form or draft an email.

Websites must provide an easily visible withdrawal button or an equivalent function. The change comes from a European Union directive and will enter into force on September 1, 2026.

Even if a buyer cannot find the button, the consumer will retain the right to withdraw from an online contract within 14 days. Estonia has incorporated the requirement into amendments to its Law of Obligations Act and Consumer Protection Act.
