Usage

All pages are under Products > Green claims. Each page shows a short note: the add-on is a helper, not legal advice.

Dashboard

• Products with high findings, Open findings by severity, Products checked (with the share that has findings), Accepted with evidence and recognised labels, the last full scan and the queue.
• Scan now checks the whole catalog in batches while the page is open. On a vendor account it checks only the vendor’s products.
• Open findings by rule: one bar per rule (UCPD Annex I points 2a, 4a, 4b, 4c, Article 6(2)(d), plus your custom terms). Click a bar to open the matching findings.
• Most frequent terms and Where the claims are (name, descriptions, features, tags, SEO fields): useful to fix a phrase that a supplier template put into many products.
• Vendors / storefronts with the most findings (Multi-Vendor and Ultimate with several storefronts).
• Rules checked: the text of each rule and the dates.

Findings

Filter by search text (product name, product code or matched words), severity, rule, field, language, status (open, accepted, all) and vendor. Each row shows:

• the product (link to its Green claims tab), product code and vendor;
• the field and language;
• the matched words highlighted in their sentence, the rule and its legal reference (hover for the full text), and “figure nearby” when the sentence contains a figure;
• the suggestion for neutral wording, the evidence of an accepted finding, or the scheme and evidence of a recognised label;
• the severity and the review state.

Bulk actions on the selected rows:

• Accept with evidence (administrators): type the evidence first, for example “EU Ecolabel licence DE/020/0001, valid to 2028-05”, “specification shown in the same paragraph: 80 % recycled aluminium”, or “LCA report 2026-04, no offsetting”. Accepted findings leave the open counters and stay accepted while the same term remains in the same field.
• Open again (administrators).
• Preview replacement: type neutral wording (or leave the field empty to remove the words) and click Preview replacement. The preview lists every field that would change, with the removed words struck through and the new words highlighted; nothing is saved until you click Apply. Only the occurrences reported as findings change: phrases on the allow-list (“green tea”, “dark green”, “eco mode”), recognised labels (“EU Ecolabel”), longer terms (“eco” inside “eco product”), parts of hyphenated words (“Eco” in “Eco-friendly”) and text inside HTML tags stay as they are. A replacement that is itself a claim on the term lists is refused. Works in name, descriptions, promo text, page title, meta fields and search words; features, tags and SEO names are edited in the product editor.
• Apply saves each product like an edit in the product editor (the core product save with its hooks): on Multi-Vendor, a vendor’s replacement goes through the core vendor data premoderation and this add-on’s moderation like any other vendor edit. Fields edited between the preview and Apply are skipped.
• Undo last replacement restores the previous texts of your last replacement (the last 30 replacements of the store are kept); fields edited after the replacement are skipped.
• Export CSV of the filtered findings: product ID and code, product, field, language, term, matched text, rule, severity, legal reference, context, suggestion, state, evidence, date, edit URL (and vendor). Cells are protected against spreadsheet formulas.

Product editor

The Green claims tab of a product shows its findings, the date of the last check, Check again, and the hold state on Multi-Vendor. The tab title shows the number of open findings.

Vendor submissions (Multi-Vendor)

Lists vendor products held by the moderation:

• Waiting for review (Require review): the product was switched to Disabled when the vendor saved it as Active or Hidden, or it waits for the core vendor data premoderation and was flagged for review.
• Blocked until fixed (Block): the vendor tried to activate the product.
• Rejected: you rejected it with a note.

Approve accepts the open findings at or above the hold severity with your note as evidence, lifts the hold and restores the status the vendor asked for (only when the add-on itself disabled the product; a product waiting for the core premoderation keeps its status, approve it there as usual). Reject needs a note; the product stays disabled and the vendor sees the note on the product tab. When the vendor fixes the text and saves the product, the hold is lifted automatically.

Term lists and allow-list

See Configuration. Typical work:

1. After the first scan, open Most frequent terms. If a term only produces false matches in your catalog (for example “green” for clothing colours), add context phrases to the allow-list (“green jacket” is too narrow; “colour: green” may fit your feature texts) or lower or disable the term.
2. Add the words your shop uses in other languages, for example umweltfreundlich* (German) or respectueux de l'environnement (French), with the right rule category.
3. Add your certified labels to the allow-list with the scheme name, licence number and validity date.

Vendors

With Vendors see their findings on, vendors get the dashboard and findings for their own products, can run Scan now for their catalog, export their findings and replace words in their own texts. They cannot accept findings, change the lists or see other vendors’ products.

Cron

The cron job (see Installation) continues the scheduled full scan and checks queued products: products changed by imports, mass edits, the API or more than five product saves in one request.
