Packaging is split into paper\/cardboard, plastic, glass, aluminium, ferrous metal, wood, and other.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Free edition includes:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Product and variation packaging weights in grams.<\/li>\n<li>Optional source\/reference fields for packaging master data.<\/li>\n<li>Shipping packaging profiles and a default profile.<\/li>\n<li>Per-order shipping packaging selection and frozen order snapshot.<\/li>\n<li>Automatic order-level packaging records for relevant WooCommerce statuses.<\/li>\n<li>Refund-aware product quantity handling (optional and off by default).<\/li>\n<li>Dashboard totals by year, country, and material.<\/li>\n<li>Summary CSV export.<\/li>\n<li>Packaging calculator for product quantity plus shipping packaging.<\/li>\n<li>HPOS compatibility.<\/li>\n<li>English interface with bundled Dutch translations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>PackVerity stores its operational data in the merchant's own WordPress\/WooCommerce database.

It does not determine whether you are legally a producer, determine EPR obligations, validate legal material classifications, submit statutory filings, or guarantee regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n\n<h4>PackVerity Professional<\/h4>\n\n<p>PackVerity Professional is a separate commercial distribution for stores that need advanced historical and audit workflows. It adds detailed append-only audit views and audit CSV, historical product-version browsing, historical order backfill, documented manual adjustments, and manual order resynchronization.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Free edition remains usable without purchasing Professional.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Privacy<\/h3>\n\n<p>PackVerity Free stores packaging configuration, order references, material weights, shipping packaging snapshots, and related operational records locally in WordPress\/WooCommerce. It does not include telemetry, advertising tracking, or a required external account connection.<\/p>\n\n<p>Store owners remain responsible for their own WordPress\/WooCommerce privacy configuration and data-retention obligations.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Install and activate WooCommerce.<\/li>\n<li>Install and activate PackVerity.<\/li>\n<li>Edit a WooCommerce product and enter packaging weights in the PackVerity fields.<\/li>\n<li>Go to WooCommerce &gt; PackVerity and create at least one shipping profile.<\/li>\n<li>Set a default shipping profile, or select a profile on individual orders.<\/li>\n<li>Process a test order and verify the totals on the PackVerity dashboard.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"does%20packverity%20guarantee%20epr%20or%20packaging-law%20compliance%3F\"><h3>Does PackVerity guarantee EPR or packaging-law compliance?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. PackVerity records and reports packaging data.
