EU Product Identifiers - Global-e Docs

Part of the EU Customs Reform - Product Identifiers (PID). On Shopware, the two identifiers are read from your catalog at checkout and sent to Global-e by the Global-e plugin. This is a configuration task, not a code change: you store the values in your catalog, then point the plugin at the fields that hold them. 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.

Prerequisites

Requirement	Value
Minimum plugin version	Global-e Shopware 6 plugin 1.6.7

You can check your plugin version by going to Extensions → My Extensions

What you need to do

Store the values on your products. Make sure each variant that can appear in the cart holds the values you want to send: the barcode (GTIN, EAN or UPC) and the manufacturer code. Use whichever catalog fields you already keep them in.
Point the plugin at those fields. Go to Extensions, then My Extensions and click on Configure next to the Global-e Cross-Border extension
Under Products, in Product Extra Attributes, list the technical field names that hold your barcode and your manufacturer code. The plugin sends them to Global-e as standardcode and mididentifier.
Save, and clear the Shopware cache if your deployment requires it.

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 variant. Populate each variant that can appear in the cart. A value on the parent product alone is not enough when the variant has no value of its own.Your Shopware field names are your choice. The plugin maps them to the exact keys standardcode and mididentifier (lowercase), so your own field names do not need to match.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 the US MID fields for EU PID. When values are read: at checkout, when the customer proceeds to Global-e. Updated catalog values apply on that variant’s next checkout.
