EPR for Shopify and WooCommerce agencies: onboarding, data and handoff

You don't need to become an EPR expert. Add it to the launch plan after VAT, collect a few answers, connect the store, and hand the regulated work to a representative.

Put it in the launch plan

Order it as VAT, EPR, then listing. Marketplaces have to check EPR numbers under the PPWR, so it's better done before launch. A client's own store still has EPR duties in the country it ships to, even with no marketplace involved.

Ask four questions at kickoff

Which countries will you ship to? What do you sell? Do you sell to consumers, businesses or both? Do you know your packaging weights per product? The answers are enough for a first price from our quote API or pricing page.

Connect the store

WooCommerce connects with the EPR Autopilot plugin or from the dashboard, using a read-only key. For Shopify, the EPR Autopilot app is in Shopify's App Store review, so for now the client uploads their orders export as a spreadsheet. Either way, we read order dates, products, quantities and delivery countries, and don't keep customer names or addresses.

Be clear where your work ends

The client signs the mandate and pays, and our representative does the registrations and filing. Your job is the introduction and the store connection. In Germany the client has to register in LUCID personally, so plan a moment for it in the launch.
