EU Product Identifiers - Global-e Docs

Part of the EU Customs Reform - Product Identifiers (PID). On PrestaShop, you hold the two values in product Features, then list those feature names in the Global-e module. The module sends them to Global-e at checkout. Your product reference is already sent separately, so there is no new SKU field to add. Do not use the US MID fields for EU PID. For what each identifier is, see The three identifiers on the overview page.

Prerequisites

Requirement	Value
Minimum plugin version	Global-e PrestaShop plugin 1.2.2

You can check your plugin version by going to Modules → Module manager

What you need to do

Create the features. Go to Catalog, then Attributes & Features, then Features. Create features named exactly standardcode and mididentifier.
Set values per product. On each product, open the Features tab and assign a customised value for each feature. Leave a feature blank when you have nothing to send.
List the features in the module. Go to Modules, then Module Manager, then Global-e Cross-Border, then Configure, then Products. In Product extra meta data, add the feature names comma-separated: standardcode,mididentifier.
Save the module settings, place a test order, and confirm the values appear when populated and are omitted when blank.

Sent as	What it holds	When to leave it out
`standardcode`	The barcode for that line (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 line	Never. This is required on every line.

Do not use the native combination EAN-13. The native combination EAN-13 field is not the EU PID path and does not populate standardcode. Use PrestaShop Features instead. Features are set per product. PrestaShop Features are set once per product, so all combinations of a product share the same values. If different variants of a product need different identifiers, use separate products or confirm alternatives with your Global-e contact.

Key points

Use Features plus the Product extra meta data setting, not the native combination EAN-13. The values are sent under the keys standardcode and mididentifier.Omit, don’t fake. Leave a feature blank when you have no value. Never enter NA, 0 or -. When values are read: at checkout, when the customer proceeds to Global-e.
