Notice: DDPP starts charging on 15 October 2026
DDPP has been free while it is in testing. This page is where we announce our prices before they apply, as our Terms of Service provide.
From 15 October 2026, passports spend credits, according to what the passport covers:
- A product's permanent passport (its model passport), which holds what every lot of it shares: 40 credits, once, taken when it is created and given back if we do not approve it or its draft is deleted before it is submitted. It never renews.
- A batch passport, issued under the permanent passport: one credit for each 20 tonnes, 20,000 litres or 10,000 pieces (or 10,000 of another unit) begun, and at least one. Its quantity is fixed once it is published; a correction is a new batch.
- Item passports, issued under a batch: one credit buys 100.
A credit costs €5.00 or less, depending on the pack. In Türkiye it is priced in lira: €5.00 at the Central Bank's latest euro selling rate, rounded to the whole lira, with the same pack steps. The work around passports stays free, and reading a passport stays free for everyone, for good. The prices are on the pricing page.
What this means for you
- Nothing is charged to your business without its agreement. No card is on file and none will be taken. Credits are bought when you choose to buy them.
- Nothing you have already published is affected. Passports published before 15 October stay online at no cost, and their codes go on working.
- A new organization starts with 40 free credits, enough for its first product's permanent passport. Organizations set up before 23 September 2026 keep the five they were given.
- The work around passports stays free. Describing products, filling in passports, recording production steps with photos and documents, and checking readiness all cost nothing, as they do today. A batch passport and item passports are paid for when you publish them, a permanent passport when you create it.
If you would rather leave
You can end your contract at any time, take a copy of everything you have put in, and choose for each published passport whether it stays online or is erased. Exporting, switching to another provider and erasure are free of charge. Section 14 of the Terms of Service sets out the dates and what we do.
Why we are charging
Passports have to stay readable for as long as the product's law requires, which means someone has to keep serving them years after the batch has been sold. Charging for publishing is the part that pays for that, and it is the part where you get something you can point at — a code on a product that opens a page anywhere in the world.
