GPSR: Declare Product Safety Correctly in Your Shopify Shop

What GPSR means

The GPSR requires online retailers to display manufacturer and safety information before purchase. This includes the name and address of the manufacturer, the responsible person established in the EU, warnings, care instructions, and a clear product identification. For products from third countries, an EU responsible person must be named, otherwise the goods may not be sold.

Who it applies to

All retailers who offer non-food consumer products in the EU are affected, including importers and dropshippers. For products without a manufacturer established in the EU, an EU responsible person must be named.

What must be shown in the shop

• Name and address of the manufacturer
• EU responsible person with contact details
• Safety information and warnings
• Clear product identification (type, batch, serial number)
• CE marking where applicable

How ShopCompliance solves this automatically

ShopCompliance maintains the manufacturer, EU responsible person, warnings, and product identification per product and renders a uniform GPSR block in the storefront. Missing mandatory fields are flagged before the product goes live.

Risks of non-compliance

Without a named EU responsible person, third-country goods may no longer be sold since 13.12.2024. Missing GPSR mandatory information is a common reason for warning letters from competitors and associations; in addition, market surveillance authorities can order sales stops and impose fines.
