Shopify merchants selling into the EU can prepare Digital Product Passports by importing their catalogue into a passport system, structuring the required data and evidence, and publishing a controlled public passport reached by a QR code or GS1 Digital Link. DPP Shield connects through imports and its API; it does not certify legal compliance.
Do Shopify sellers need a DPP?
Only where an EU act covers the product group, such as batteries now and other groups through the ESPR over time. Selling on Shopify does not by itself create a passport duty, but EU-facing merchants benefit from structuring product data before their category is in scope.
How does it connect to Shopify?
Import products and identifiers from your catalogue, map them to passport fields and category templates, attach supplier evidence, then publish a passport page per product. A QR or GS1 Digital Link on the product or listing resolves to that page.
Who stays responsible?
The economic operator placing the product on the EU market keeps the legal duty. DPP Shield structures, versions and publishes the data through the API and imports, while accuracy and legal scope remain with the merchant.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a Shopify app for this?
DPP Shield connects through catalogue imports and a scoped API rather than requiring a specific storefront app, so it fits different Shopify setups.
Does selling to the EU on Shopify require a DPP?
Only for product groups an EU act covers. Preparing early is useful, but the obligation follows the product category, not the sales channel.
