Get Started with Setting Up Your Digital Product Passport

This guide will walk you through the steps to set up a Digital Product Passport (DPP). Follow these steps to create a complete and functional DPP ready to share with stakeholders.

Step 1: Set Up Products, Supply Chain, and Data

Before creating a DPP, you must organize the foundational information for your products. Here’s how:

1. Add Products:

• Navigate to the Products section in your dashboard.
• Click on Add Product and fill in the necessary fields (e.g., Product Name, Category, SKU, Weight, etc.).

2. Define Your Supply Chain:

• Go to the Supply Chain tab.
• Add details about raw materials, suppliers, and processes for each product.
• Calculate the product’s environmental footprint on the supply chain screens.

3. Add Additional Data:

• Customize the product details by adding documentation like certificates, claims, care instructions, sustainability practices, performance metrics and other relevant information to display on the DPP.
• Use the Import feature to upload bulk data if required.

4. Link E-Commerce Products:

• Once a product is added, you can create multiple e-commerce products linked to the internal product.

• Navigate to the E-Commerce Products section.

• Add e-commerce product details (e.g., Product ID, Title, Description) and link it to the corresponding internal product.

• The E-Commerce Product ID will be used in the URL to load the correct DPP.

Step 2: Customize the DPP Theme

Now that the data is set up, customize the design of your DPP to align with your branding.

1. Select or Customize a Theme:

• Navigate to the Theme section in the settings.
• Choose a default template or upload a custom design.

2. Add Your Branding:

• Include your company logo and brand colors.

• Adjust font styles, headers, and footer designs.

3. Preview Your Changes:

• Use the preview in new tab option to ensure your DPP looks exactly how you want it to.

Step 3: Configure the URL Domain

Secure a URL where your DPP will be hosted. Here’s how:

1. Choose a Domain:

   • Go to the Domain Settings page.

   • Add a custom domain to load your DPP (e.g.yourcompany.ourimpact.info).

2. Add Custom Domains for Each Country:

   • Go to the country mapping settings page.

   • Add and configure custom domains (e.g..yourcompany.us.ourimpact.info for the US, yourcompany.eu.ourimpact.info for Europe, etc.).

   • Test each domain to ensure it loads the correct DPP.

Step 4: Download the QR Code

Generate a QR code for your DPP to make it easily accessible.

1. Go to the QR Code Generator:

   • In your DPP tab, locate the QR Code option.

   • Click Generate QR Code for the specific product you want to download DPP for.

2. Download and Use:

   • Save the QR code in the desired format (PNG, SVG, etc.).

   • Embed the QR code on product labels, packaging, or marketing materials.

You’re All Set!
