VeloxLink connects to your Shopify store and automatically tracks every order, calculates your packaging weight per jurisdiction, and generates the exact files your authorities want. UK PPT, Germany LUCID, France CITEO, US state EPR, and Canada's Federal Plastics Registry — handled from one dashboard.
EPR compliance isn't going away. The fines are real. The deadlines are published. And the regulators are no longer giving first-timers a pass.
If you're selling physical products into the UK, Germany, France, or North America, you are almost certainly under at least one Extended Producer Responsibility scheme. Possibly four.
The UK Plastic Packaging Tax kicks in at 10 tonnes of plastic packaging in any rolling 12-month period. Not calendar year — rolling. Most merchants don't know where they are until they're past it.
A glass bottle. A plastic cap. A cardboard outer. A poly mailer. Each has different compliance implications across different jurisdictions. Not a job for a spreadsheet.
LUCID requires HPM1 and HJM1 XML files with comma decimal separators and UTF-8 BOM encoding. Germany has fined companies up to €200,000 per infraction.
Amazon FBA orders need to be excluded from your Shopify reporting. Amazon does not handle LUCID reporting on behalf of sellers — despite what some believe.
France applies a multiplier based on recyclability. Class A gets 20% off. Class D gets a 50% surcharge. If you don't know your class, France defaults you to standard rate.
Regulation (EU) 2025/40 applies from 12 August 2026. PFAS restrictions, EPR registration in every EU member state, recyclability grading, and recycled content targets.
VeloxLink sits quietly in your Shopify admin and does the accounting for you. When it's time to file, your numbers are already there.
Create a packaging spec for each type of packaging you use. Enter the weight in grams, select the material (Plastic, Paper, Glass, Metal, Wood, Other), and set the recycled content %. For multi-component products, stack multiple specs on the same product.
Enter specs one by one, or upload them all using the 25-column CSV template (includes all PPWR fields).
Assign each spec to Shopify products. VeloxLink uses barcode matching (EAN/UPC) and SKU similarity to suggest the right spec automatically — you just confirm. Stack multiple components per product.
Use Bulk Mapping to assign a spec to an entire product type or collection in three clicks.
Shopify orders are tracked automatically via webhook — no action needed. For historical orders or non-Shopify channels (Amazon, eBay, Etsy), use the CSV import with 8 columns. Deduplication is automatic — re-importing is always safe.
The Compliance Reports page shows everything broken down by jurisdiction. Your UK PPT threshold progress, German LUCID material categories, France CITEO fee estimate, US state EPR weights, and Canada resin breakdown.

Built for Shopify merchants running real volumes, not compliance consultants managing client portals.
Every paid Shopify order triggers a compliance log instantly. Weight is locked at order time — changing a spec later doesn't affect historical records.

Pull any date range — 30 days to 2 years — from the Shopify Orders API. Runs in background, safe to repeat.
Barcode matches score 97% confidence. SKU similarity and product name matching fill in gaps. Review and confirm.
Glass bottle, plastic cap, cardboard outer — each gets its own spec, all summed for reporting.
No per-spec fee, no limit, no throttle. Upload in bulk via 25-column CSV template.
Assign a spec to every product in a Shopify collection or product type in three clicks.
Enter fulfillment service handles for Amazon FBA or other 3PLs. Matching orders are automatically skipped.

Activate only the markets you sell into — the app tailors itself to your setup.
A tax on plastic packaging with less than 30% recycled content. Applies the moment you place 10 tonnes on the UK market in any rolling 12-month period.
Germany's VerpackG requires registration in the LUCID database and annual reporting by 15 May. Penalties up to €200,000 per infraction.
France's REP scheme requires registration with ADEME and annual filing by 31 May. Fees are modulated by recyclability class — Class A gets 20% off, Class D pays 50% extra.
EPR legislation active in California, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington. Minnesota and Maryland tracked but pending PRO details.

Canada's Federal Plastics Registry requires producers to report by 29 September 2026, broken down by all seven standard plastic resin types.
Regulation (EU) 2025/40 is the most significant overhaul of EU packaging law in decades. PFAS restrictions and EPR registration apply from August 2026. Recyclability grading, recycled content targets, and single-use bans phase in from 2028–2030.
All plans include every jurisdiction, every export format, and every feature. The only difference is monthly order volume.
All plans available on annual billing at 20% off. Billed through your Shopify account. 7-day free trial — no credit card required.
No. VeloxLink calculates your data and generates the exact files each authority requires. You upload or submit those files yourself. We're a reporting tool, not a filing service — we recommend verifying your figures with a compliance adviser before submitting.
Every paid Shopify order. VeloxLink listens to the orders/paid webhook, looks up the packaging spec for each line item, multiplies weight by quantity, determines the region, and stores an immutable record. Weight is locked at order time.
Use the 3PL exclusion feature. Enter Amazon FBA's fulfillment handle and matching orders are skipped. Important: Amazon does NOT handle Germany LUCID reporting on your behalf — you are still the producer of record for VerpackG.
Yes — two ways. Use Shopify Pull to pull up to 2 years of history. For non-Shopify channels, export and import via CSV. Deduplication means you can safely re-run imports.
It's a rolling 12-month window, not calendar year. VeloxLink tracks this correctly — showing your running total in real time and projecting your crossing date based on recent velocity.
Create a separate spec for each component and assign all to the same product. Each component's weight and material flow through the correct jurisdiction.
Order IDs, dates, SKUs, quantities, and country codes only. No names, emails, addresses, or payment info. Country code is sufficient for compliance regime determination.
Data retained for 30 days in case you reinstall. After 30 days, permanently deleted. Request immediate deletion at privacy@veloxlink.com.
Readiness tracking — yes. You can store all 9 compliance fields per spec, track recycled content, and record EU EPR registration IDs. Filing export will be added when the delegated acts are published ahead of August 2026.
Yes. Cancel from Settings → Plans & Billing. Takes effect at end of current billing period. Data is never deleted on cancellation.
Germany LUCID: 15 May. France CITEO: 31 May. Canada: 29 September 2026. UK PPT: whenever you hit 10 tonnes.
