EU Product Identifiers - Global-e Docs

Part of the EU Customs Reform - Product Identifiers (PID). On Magento, the two identifiers are read from product attributes at checkout and sent to Global-e by the Global-e module. This is a configuration task, not custom code: you create two product attributes, list them in the module settings, and populate the values on your products. Your SKU is already sent separately, so there is no new SKU field to add. For what each identifier is, see The three identifiers on the overview page. Unlike some platforms, on Magento the attribute codes themselves must be exactly standardcode and mididentifier.

What you need to do

Create two product attributes. Go to Stores, then Attributes, then Product
Create two attributes by clicking on the Add Attributes button: Set Catalog Input Type to Text Field and Values Required to No;
List them in the Global-e module. Go to Stores, then Configuration, then Services, then Global-e Crossborder, then Global-E API Settings, then Products. Enter standardcode,mididentifier (comma-separated, no spaces) in both fields: Extra Product Attributes, and Extra Product Attributes From Simple.
Save and flush cache. Click Save Config, then flush the Magento cache (System, Cache Management, Flush Magento Cache).
Populate the values on each variant and/or configurable parent.

Sent as	What it holds	When to leave it out
`standardcode`	The barcode for that variant (GTIN, EAN or UPC)	When the item has no barcode. Global-e declares the “no barcode” code automatically.
`mididentifier`	The manufacturer’s product code for that variant	Never. This is required on every line.

Key points

One pair of values per cart line. For simple products, populate that SKU’s attributes. For configurable products, set values on the parent, on each child, or both: when a child has no value, the module uses the parent’s value. Both settings must match. List standardcode,mididentifier in both Extra Product Attributes and Extra Product Attributes From Simple. Exact lowercase. The Magento attribute codes and the values sent to Global-e are both standardcode and mididentifier.Omit, don’t fake. When a variant has no value, leave the key out. Never send an empty string, NA, 0 or -. Keep separate from US MID. Do not use midcode, midname or midaddress for EU PID. If you already list US MID attributes in these settings, append standardcode,mididentifier to the same comma-separated list in both fields. When values are read: at checkout, when the customer proceeds to Global-e. Updated catalog values apply on that SKU’s next checkout.
