About this plugin
SmartOneLink Digital Link Generator for GS1 is a companion plugin for the SmartOneLink Digital Link platform. Once configured with an API Key, it adds:
- A “数字链接” menu in the WordPress admin sidebar.
- An API token is required (create one in Smartonelink → Settings → API Tokens). Any Smartonelink account can create one.
- A four-step wizard that creates a GS1 Digital Link bound to a local WordPress post.
- A list view of all digital links you’ve created.
- Optional global settings (GSDL base URL + API Key, stored with AES-256-GCM encryption).
Note on naming: this plugin is a third-party community tool and is not officially affiliated with GS1. The trademark “GS1” appears at the end of the plugin name (after “for”) only to describe that the generated links follow the GS1 Digital Link standard; it does not imply endorsement by GS1.
External services
This plugin communicates with the SmartOneLink Digital Link platform in order to generate, edit, list and delete GS1 Digital Links that are bound to local WordPress posts. Every administrative action performed through this plugin (saving settings, creating / editing / listing / deleting a digital link, generating a QR code) triggers a request to the SmartOneLink service described below.
What data is sent and when:
- The API Key you paste on the plugin’s Settings page is sent to SmartOneLink once per session in order to exchange it for a short-lived JWT (JSON Web Token) used by all subsequent calls. The plugin never sends the API Key again after that exchange.
- The short-lived JWT is sent in the Authorization header of every subsequent request to the SmartOneLink backend.
- The GS1 application identifiers, values, key qualifiers, GS1 data attributes, descriptions, categories and target WordPress post permalinks / titles you bind to a digital link are sent when you create or edit that link, and are reflected in SmartOneLink’s record for that link.
- No data is sent when the plugin is idle; the plugin does not perform any background telemetry, analytics or tracking of any kind.
