Everything the plugin does, in the order you are likely to need it.
Getting started
- Install DPTagWhat the plugin needs, how to install it from your WordPress dashboard, what activation does, and what the plugin never does on your site.
- Your first Digital Product Passport in five minutesFrom the plugin zip to a QR code scanned on a phone, on a small clothing catalogue. Install, run the setup wizard, create every passport in one click, publish one and print its code.
- The setup wizardThe four steps that turn a catalogue into pre-filled draft passports, what each one writes, what can be skipped, and how to run it again.
Filling passports
- Store defaultsThe values shared by a whole sector of your catalogue, set once under Passports, then Defaults, and applied to every new passport. What belongs there, what does not, and when they apply.
- Composition per categoryHow to set one fibre composition per product category, how the text you type is turned into materials and percentages, and how the composition is edited on a passport with its live total.
- Product attributesThe WooCommerce attributes DPTag reads when it creates a passport, the names it recognises in English and French, and why an attribute beats every default.
- AI autofillHow AI reads a product page and proposes values for the empty fields of its passport, what is sent and when, how proposals are reviewed, what it costs, and how to run it on a whole catalogue.
Publishing
- The passports list and the completeness scoreWhere every passport lives, what the completeness score counts, how to find the ones that still need a detail, and what the products list and the product editor show about them.
- Bulk actionsThe three ways to create passports, from one product to the whole catalogue, and how to publish or remove many passports in one action.
- QR codes and labelsWhere the QR code comes from, what it encodes, why it stays valid for the life of the product, and how to print it on a label or a packaging so that it scans.
- The public passport pageWhat a customer sees after scanning the code, how the page is served from your site independently of your theme, its colour themes, its languages, its structured data and what it never shows.
Pro add-on
- Install and activate DPTag ProWhat the Pro add-on is, how to install it next to the free plugin, how the licence and its seats work, how updates arrive, and what happens when a licence lapses.
- AI creditsWhat an AI credit buys, how credits are bought with or without a plan, how the monthly Pro allowance and the prepaid balance are used, and how the plugin knows which account to bill.
- Multilingual passportsHow a passport is translated into the languages of the markets it is sold on, typed by you or by AI, how the market suggestions work, and how the public page serves each language.
- Export as CSV and QR codes as ZIPThe Export screen of the Pro add-on, which hands over every published passport as one spreadsheet and every QR code as one archive of SVG files, in one action each.
- QR codes as SVGThe vector download the Pro add-on adds beside the free PNG, why print at scale wants a vector, and how the SVG stays the exact same code as the PNG.
- Brand colour and logoHow the Pro add-on puts the passport page in your colours, from six more palettes to a colour of your own that the whole page is derived from, and your logo in place of the brand name.
Reference
- Sector templates and detectionThe templates that define a passport's fields per sector, how a product is attributed to one, how to switch it by hand, and why every sector ships in the free plugin.
- Textile template fieldsThe twelve fields of the textile and apparel passport, group by group, with their type, whether they are required, whether they can carry a default, and what to put in them.
- Furniture template fieldsThe fourteen fields of the furniture passport, group by group, with their type, whether they are required, whether they can carry a default, and what to put in them.
- REST API and structured dataThe two endpoints DPTag adds to the WordPress REST API, the shape of a passport as JSON, and the schema.org block every public page carries.
- FAQ, what ESPR-ready meansThe questions merchants ask before and after installing DPTag, about the regulation, the timeline, the data, the hosting and what the plugin does and does not claim.
- Hooks and filters for developersEvery action and filter the free plugin publishes, with its parameters and what it is for, so another plugin can add a sector, a palette, a brand mark or its own AI credential without touching DPTag.
