CertaCart is the bulk GPSR product-information workflow for WooCommerce. It scans published products for supported manufacturer, EU responsible-person, product identifier, and safety-information fields, turns gaps into ranked tasks, and helps merchants publish configured information on product pages.
Scans run locally inside WordPress in resumable browser batches. Start with the highest-impact task, open the affected products at the relevant CertaCart fields, and verify the plugin’s configured storefront output. A no-score review path runs every supported field check while showing the score as N/A until the merchant chooses an EU sales scope.
Catalog processing remains local to WordPress. The plugin includes the Freemius SDK for optional installation analytics, account, licensing, and paid-update services; analytics is not enabled unless an administrator explicitly opts in.

Important scope and boundary
CertaCart checks supported fields stored by the plugin and its own storefront-output configuration. It does not inspect the final theme or page-builder DOM, independently scan product variations, determine whether a law applies to a specific product or offer, validate merchant-supplied data or translations, assess product safety, provide legal advice, or certify compliance. Variations inherit their parent product’s CertaCart information rather than being scanned independently. Merchants remain responsible for applicability, product safety, language requirements, the accuracy of supplied information, and final storefront placement.
The guarantee-notice helper does not bundle or alter official artwork. Select the correct unmodified official language asset obtained from the European Commission and verify its use with qualified counsel where needed.
Privacy
The plugin stores product metadata, settings, and scan reports in the merchant’s WordPress database. It does not transmit catalog or customer records to CertaCart or Freemius. Freemius analytics remains disabled unless an administrator chooses Allow & Continue on the disclosed opt-in screen. See the CertaCart privacy policy.
External services
This plugin uses the Freemius service for optional installation analytics and, when applicable, account management, licensing, checkout, and paid-plugin updates. On activation an administrator can allow or skip the analytics connection. If allowed, Freemius may receive the administrator’s first name, last name, and email; site URL and title; WordPress, PHP, plugin, and SDK versions; site language; plugin activation/deactivation or uninstall status; and installed plugin/theme names, slugs, versions, and active status. Product catalog content, customer records, orders, and CertaCart scan reports are not sent.
Freemius is provided by Freemius, Inc. Review its terms at https://freemius.com/terms/ and privacy policy at https://freemius.com/privacy/ before opting in or using paid services.
Screenshots
Home after a 10,000-product review scan: one best next action, four ranked tasks, and de-duplicated affected-product counts.
Ranked tasks show priority, detection confidence, and unique affected-product counts before you open the matching products.
A task opens the WooCommerce product editor at the relevant CertaCart fields—here, EU responsible-person details.
CertaCart renders configured product identifier and manufacturer information on the product page; merchants still verify final theme placement.
