Germanized is a WooCommerce plugin that adapts a store to German legal requirements; Germanized Pro is its paid add-on. It is used by shops selling in Germany and other DACH markets. If you only need part of it, you can get a focused plugin built for your own site and pay once.
Germanized Pro: €85 a year for one site (Pro (1 domain)).
Your own plugin on Pluginora: from $9 once, with 5 free changes. Try it first for $1.
What Germanized Pro does
- Legal price labels and delivery times
- Legal pages and checkout requirements
- Multi-step checkout
- Double opt-in for customer accounts
- PDF invoices and delivery notes
- Generators for terms and cancellation policies
Free version: Yes, Germanized for WooCommerce on WordPress.org.
What you can build instead
A Pluginora plugin does one job for your site. For Germanized Pro, that could be:
- Show a delivery time line under product prices
- Add a required terms checkbox with custom text
- Show 'incl. VAT, plus shipping' under prices
A small custom plugin would not replace legal compliance tooling, legal text generation or the invoicing system, and is not legal advice.

- WooCommerce EU VAT Number Validation Plugin
- WooCommerce EU Withdrawal Button Plugin
- WooCommerce Print Invoices & Packing Lists Plugin

When Germanized Pro is the better choice
- You need German legal compliance kept up to date
- You want invoices and legal texts tied to German law
- You want support from a vendor that tracks German e-commerce rules
When your own plugin makes more sense
- You use one or two of its features, not the whole package.
- You would rather pay once than renew every year.
- You want it to work exactly the way your site needs, and to change it on request.
How to get your own
- Describe it. For example: “Show 'incl. VAT, plus shipping' with a link to my shipping page under every product price in my shop.”
- See the plan and price. Ora replies with what it will build and a fixed price. Nothing is built until you approve.
- Try it for $1. Test it on a practice site for 7 days, then keep it and pay the rest once.
