1 - Select your product
1. Press the Select Product button to choose a product for which you’d like to create a DPP.
2. In the window that appears, choose a product available in your store. Then press Select.
Information you’ve entered into Shopify about this product will be sent to the generative AI model to create the Digital Product Passport.
Select additional information (optional)
You can also send additional information from a page in your store to the generative AI model that creates your DPP draft.

Templates in PicoNext contain sustainability attributes about your product – including attributes like raw material sourcing, environmental impacts, recyclability, and disposal information.
1. The Select template drop-down contains some pre-defined templates for common product categories. Select the template that fits your product most closely.
