Assigning EPREL registration numbers to products and variants

Where to find registration numbers

Option 1: Ask your supplier or manufacturer

This is usually the most reliable option.
Ask your supplier, manufacturer, importer, or authorised representative for the EPREL registration number of each model you sell.
If a product has multiple variants with different energy-related specifications, ask for the EPREL registration number for each specific model or variant.
This helps avoid assigning the wrong registration number to the wrong product.

Option 2: Scan the QR code on the energy label

If you already have the printed or digital EU energy label, this is often the fastest option.
  1. Open your phone camera or QR scanner.
  2. Scan the QR code shown on the energy label.
  3. Open the EPREL page from the QR link.
  4. Copy the EPREL registration number from the product entry.
This method is useful when the label is already available on packaging, supplier documentation, or product assets.

Option 3: Search the official EPREL database

You can also search the official EPREL database directly.
  1. Open the EPREL website.
  2. Search by model identifier, brand, or supplier name.
  3. Open the matching product entry.
  4. Copy the EPREL registration number.
This is a good fallback if the supplier did not provide the number directly.

Option 4: Search by GTIN in EPREL

You can also try searching by GTIN on the EPREL website.
  1. Open the EPREL website.
  2. Enter the product GTIN in the search.
  3. Open the matching product entry if one appears.
  4. Copy the EPREL registration number.
This can be convenient when you already have GTINs in your catalog.
However, only a small number of products appear to have GTIN information assigned in the EPREL database, so this method should be treated as a secondary option rather than the main one.

EPREL manager

The EPREL manager page is where you assign and review EPREL registration numbers for your products.
It gives you a quick overview of product EPREL status and lets you edit product-level or variant-level assignments.

All tab

The All tab shows all products.
Use this tab when you want to:
  • review all products
  • check which products already have an EPREL registration number
  • enter or update a product EPREL ID
  • open variant editing for products with multiple variants

    EPREL required

    The EPREL required tab shows products where the EPREL registration number is not set.
    Use this tab to quickly find products that still need EPREL setup.
    Archived products are automatically excluded from the EPREL required tab.
    In the EPREL required tab, you can remove products from this list if they should not require EPREL handling.
    To do this:
    1. Select one or more products.
    2. Click Exclude from EPREL.

    Editing variants

    If a product has variants, variant-specific editing is done through the Edit Variants button.
    Click Edit Variants to open variant-level EPREL assignment.
    Use this when:
    • different variants require different EPREL registration numbers
    • the product-level EPREL ID is not enough
    • you need to review or update variant-specific assignments

    Tips

    • Use All when reviewing the full catalog.
    • Use EPREL required to focus only on products still missing an EPREL registration number.
    • If a change does not appear immediately, wait a moment for Shopify metafield updates.
    • Use Edit Variants for products where each variant may need its own EPREL registration number.

    Product metafields

    These metafields are used both to support app functionality and to pass EPREL-related data to customers on the storefront.

    Product-level metafields

    Stores the EPREL registration number for the product.
    Used to exclude products that do not need EPREL from the EPREL required tab.

    Variant-level metafields

    Stores the EPREL registration number for a variant.

    Assignment using Shopify bulk editor/copy from another metafield

    You can assign EPREL registration numbers in bulk using Shopify’s bulk editor.
    This is useful when you want to update many products or variants at once instead of editing them one by one in EPREL Manager.

    Where to open it

    From the EPREL Label Suite home page, open the Bulk Edit section.
    There are 2 separate links:
    • Edit product — opens Shopify’s bulk editor for product-level EPREL registration numbers
    • Edit variant — opens Shopify’s bulk editor for variant-level EPREL registration numbers
    Open the link that matches the type of assignment you want to make.

    Product-level vs variant-level editing

    The product bulk editor and the variant bulk editor are separate on purpose.
    Choose carefully:
    • use the product bulk editor for product-level assignment
    • use the variant bulk editor for variant-level assignment
    If a product has variants with different EPREL entries, use the variant bulk editor.

    Copying and pasting a full column

    In Shopify’s bulk editor, you can copy and paste a full column of values.
    1. Select the first row in the column you want to copy.
    2. Hold Shift and click the last row to select the full range.
    3. Copy using Ctrl + C on Windows or Cmd + C on Mac.
    4. Select the cell in the first row of the destination column where you want to paste.
    5. Paste using Ctrl + V on Windows or Cmd + V on Mac.
    This is useful when you want to quickly fill EPREL registration numbers across many rows.

    Alternatively you may use one of the Shopify apps, like Matrixify to perform the task.

    Important note

    After saving, Shopify may take a short moment to update metafields.
    If you do not see the result immediately in the app, wait a second and refresh if needed.
