Ἄκυρος (Ákyros) — Void, cancellation, rescission. In Greek jurisprudence, Akyros designates an act that is rendered null, revoked, or rescinded by legal right.

Category: Legal & Compliance Version: 1.2.0 Requirements: PHP 7.4+ · WP 6.0+ Runtime: Instant refund calculation · 0 Captchas

Overview

Akyros (Greek for valid cancellation) is a purpose-built WordPress plugin designed to legally fulfill the strict requirements of EU Directive 2023/2673 (Withdrawal Button / Widerrufsbutton) for WooCommerce stores. It gives customers an interactive withdrawal form while giving shop owners automated custom order statuses, synchronized email receipts, and detailed internal order notes.

Architectural Rationale: European Directive 2023/2673 mandates that all e-commerce stores provide a transparent, 2-step electronic withdrawal button allowing consumers to cancel purchases without administrative friction. Most store owners scramble with complex form builders that fail to verify real orders, leave orders unflagged, or calculate itemized refunds incorrectly. Akyros provides a turnkey shortcode and deep WooCommerce HPOS integration.
