About this plugin
Shops in the EU that sell energy-labelled products online must show the energy class arrow next to the price, the energy label and the product information sheet. Labelpijl does this for WooCommerce with no product limit.
Enter the EPREL registration number (the number under the QR code on the label) and the energy class on a product. Labelpijl then shows:
- A coloured class arrow with the label’s class range, next to the price or in another place you choose.
- The official energy label in a pop-up when the shopper clicks the arrow, taken directly from the EU product registry (EPREL).
- A link to the product information sheet in the shopper’s language (all 24 EU languages), with a fallback language you choose.
- A link to the product’s page in the EU product registry.
- The credit to the European Commission’s EPREL registry, as its terms of use require.
Also included:
- Unlimited products, with no branding on the front end.
- Variable products: each variation can have its own registration number and class, and the arrow changes when the shopper picks a variation.
- All label scales: A to G (current labels), A+++ to D, A+++ to G and A to E (tyres).
- Arrow in shop and category pages, and the energy class in the cart and checkout (each can be turned off).
- Shortcode [labelpijl id="123"] for use in pages and page builders.
- Bulk import through the standard WooCommerce product CSV importer.
- “Energy class” column in the product list, which flags products with incomplete data.
- Paste an EPREL QR link and the number is taken from it. GTINs are checked for a valid check digit.
- Accessible: keyboard-operable button, screen-reader text and a native dialog. Light: no jQuery needed, about 2 KB of CSS and JS, loaded only on shop pages.
- HPOS and cart/checkout blocks compatible.
Labelpijl does not look up data for you. You enter the class and registration number, which you can find on the label or in the supplier’s documents.

- What is sent and when: the plugin itself makes no requests from your server. When a shopper clicks the class arrow, the shopper’s browser loads the label image from eprel.ec.europa.eu, using the registration number of that product. When a shopper clicks a product information sheet or registry link, the browser opens that page at eprel.ec.europa.eu. The registry receives the shopper’s IP address and browser details as with any web request. Nothing is loaded from EPREL before the shopper clicks.
- Why: to show the official label and product information sheet, which shops must make available.
