Adding the GARAN-Label and legal guarantee notice in Gambio

Gambio hasn't published official guidance yet, but its existing Zusatzfeld (additional field) mechanism, combined with theme access, is enough to add both labels correctly.

As of 1 September 2026, Gambio has not published an official statement on how this labelling should be added. As a self-hosted shop system, full theme access and the built-in Zusatzfeld mechanism provide a workable path. This page is a recommendation based on the current market situation, not legal advice.

It helps to treat this as two separate tasks. The legal guarantee notice belongs on every product page, full stop, that's step 1. The GARAN-Label is only relevant if you advertise a manufacturer guarantee longer than 2 years on a given product, add it there in step 2, once it exists.

Step 1: add the legal guarantee notice in the theme

Since the legal guarantee notice is identical for every product, a one-time embed directly in the product detail template is enough. You don't need to repeat it for each product.

Implementation requires access to the theme's template files. For heavily customised shops, check with the agency maintaining it.

Step 2: add the GARAN-Label via a Zusatzfeld, if it applies

Only relevant for products where you advertise a voluntary manufacturer guarantee of more than 2 years. Where it applies, the label is specific to that product (brand, model, guarantee duration), so create a free account and generate it at GARAN-Label.com first, sandbox mode is free to try. Once you have the file:

  1. Configure a Zusatzfeld for products that accepts an image or file upload.
  2. Upload the generated GARAN-Label per product into that field.
  3. Edit the product template to output the field's value at the desired place.

Important: the GARAN-Label must not appear as an additional product image in the regular image gallery. Output the Zusatzfeld specifically in the information area of the product page, for example below the description, so it's clearly recognisable as additional information rather than a product photo.

How to generate the labels

Start by creating a free account at GARAN-Label.com, sandbox mode costs nothing, which is a good way to see the finished label before touching your Zusatzfeld or template. Then decide how you want to generate the real labels:

Small catalogue

Manual mode: enter brand, model, and guarantee duration, download the label right away, and upload it to the Zusatzfeld.

Large catalogue

CSV mode gives you a result file with brand, model, and the matching label URL, check whether your import supports mapping it to the Zusatzfeld.

Alternative: let an agency implement it

If you'd rather not do the technical implementation yourself, you can delegate it to a Gambio agency to set up the template edit and Zusatzfeld for you.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Gambio

Has Gambio published an official statement on this labelling?

Not as of writing. This page describes a pragmatic approach using Gambio's existing additional-field mechanism, based on the current market situation, not an official Gambio recommendation.

What exactly is a "Zusatzfeld" in Gambio?

It's Gambio's built-in additional/custom field mechanism for products. Depending on your Gambio version, it can be configured to hold an image or file upload per product, which is what you use to store the GARAN-Label.

Can I just add the GARAN-Label to the regular product images?

No. The GARAN-Label is product-specific additional information, not a product photo. Output it via the Zusatzfeld in the information area of the product page, not in the regular image gallery.

Does the standard product CSV import cover Zusatzfelder?

This depends on your Gambio version and shop configuration, so check your import mapping first. If it isn't covered, the admin UI per product is the fallback for smaller catalogues.

Does the GARAN-Label need to go on every product?

No, only on products where you advertise a voluntary manufacturer guarantee of more than 2 years. The legal guarantee notice from the theme edit above is the separate, mandatory part that applies to everything you sell.
