When you buy a toy or an electronic device from a store, you want to be certain it will not catch fire or harm your family. To ensure this, European laws require every product sold to have clear safety information, contact details of manufacturer, and clear warnings if product contains dangerous parts. GPSR stands for General Product Safety Regulation, and it applies directly to online stores.

For PrestaShop store owners selling to customers in European Union, GPSR means you cannot just list a product name and price anymore. You must display official safety labels, manufacturer addresses, and clear safety documents directly on product pages so buyers can read them before spending money.

PrestaShop GPSR modules and settings are tools developed to help you display this required data neatly. They add specialized fields into your back office where you can type manufacturer contacts, upload safety instruction manuals, or add hazard warning icons.

Following these rules is not just about avoiding heavy legal fines; it builds deep trust with customers. When shoppers see that an online store provides transparent safety details and official certificates, they feel much more confident buying from you, knowing you run a legitimate, responsible business.
