EU Digital Product Passport (ESPR) Compliance for WooCommerce

EU Digital Product Passport (ESPR) Compliance for WooCommerce

The EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) requires Digital Product Passports for products sold in the European Union — starting with batteries in February 2027. Non-compliance can result in product bans, import blocks, and fines up to 100,000 EUR.

DPP Compliance for WooCommerce is a complete, self-hosted solution that adds EU-compliant Digital Product Passports to your WooCommerce store. Create passports from 13 pre-built ESPR category templates, generate GS1-compliant QR codes, output JSON-LD structured data, track compliance scores, and prepare your store for upcoming EU regulations — all from your WordPress admin panel. No monthly fees, no external services required.
