EPR turns up late, when a marketplace asks for a LUCID number or blocks a listing. Put it in the launch plan. Online platforms must collect each seller's registration, and ZSVR provides an automated register match for it (§ 13(4) VerpackDG). One LUCID number covers every channel. Sources (2)

Why it belongs in a launch plan
See what each marketplace asks for in German EPR on marketplaces, and what to do when listings are blocked.
The launch checklist
VAT first, then EPR, then the listing.
| Country | Our representative | What the client does |
|---|---|---|
| Germany | EPRGermanyRep GbR, Köln | Signs the mandate by hand or with a qualified e-signature, registers in LUCID and names us there |
| France | EPRFranceRep SAS, Paris | Picks the streams and signs the mandate online |
| Spain | EPRSpainRep | Signs the mandate and provides the company documents; a Spanish tax number comes first, so start Spain early |
We do not offer other countries for now.

Partner terms
| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| Your fee | 20% of what your client contracts with us, and 20% again of every yearly renewal, for as long as the client stays. No cap. |
| Data service | 20% of every month a client stays on EPR EU Connect, our €89-a-month packaging data service. |
| Excluded | Dual-system licence fees and scheme fees: we pass them on at cost, so there is nothing to share. |
| When paid | Once your client has paid us. |
| Client price | The same published price as anyone else. Your fee comes out of ours. |
| Who keeps the client | You. Each client signs its own mandate with our representative, because the law requires a named representative; everything outside EPR stays with you. |
| Your tools | A page at epreurep.com/yourfirm with your name and logo, a partner code, and a dashboard with leads, paid clients, their yearly fees and your fee. |
| Client data | You see a client's own account only after the client approves your access, and it can withdraw it at any time. |
