Overview
Tagpass helps EU-targeting textile and apparel merchants create, manage, and publish Digital Product Passports without leaving Shopify. The EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) will require textile products sold in the EU to carry one — a machine-readable record of materials, origin, care, and recyclability that customers reach by scanning a QR code. Tagpass turns that obligation into a guided workflow, so merchants can get compliant without hiring consultants or adopting a separate product information system.
Features
- Guided seven-section editor covering product identity, manufacturer, materials, chemicals, care, and sustainability
- GS1 Digital Link QR codes generated for every passport, ready to print on product labels
- Hosted public passport pages that customers open by scanning the code on the product
- Built-in compliance check that flags missing required fields before a passport goes live
Who it's for
Small and mid-sized textile and apparel brands selling into the EU that need to prepare for ESPR's Digital Product Passport requirement. It's aimed at merchants without a dedicated compliance team or a PIM system — the kind of founder running a clothing label on Shopify who knows the regulation is coming and wants a native, affordable way to get ahead of it.
How it works
- Install from the Shopify App Store; Tagpass syncs the product catalog automatically.
- Pick a product and work through the seven-section passport editor, which autosaves as you go.
- Publish — Tagpass validates the data, generates the GS1 QR code, and writes the passport to the product's Shopify metafields.
- Add the theme app block so a "View Product Passport" badge appears on the storefront product page.
What makes it different
Most Digital Product Passport apps try to cover every product category at once. Tagpass is deliberately textile- and apparel-first: the editor speaks in fiber compositions, care instructions, and REACH substance declarations rather than generic fields, so the data model matches what the EU's textile rules are shaping up to require.
It's also built around merchant data ownership. The canonical passport data lives in the merchant's own Shopify metafields rather than locked inside the app — if a merchant uninstalls Tagpass, their DPP data stays with them. The app is designed to hold no personal customer data at all, keeping it privacy-friendly by default.
