RFID tags should be applied before products enter your inventory workflow. This ensures that items are trackable from the moment they are received or shipped.
• Manufacturing stage: Tags can be applied during production.
• Packaging stage: RFID inlays can be embedded in hangtags, price labels, or packaging.
• Distribution stage: Products can be tagged before being shipped to retail stores or customers.
To ensure smooth integration with Shopify, RFID tags must follow GS1 standards:
• EPC Tag Data Standard (TDS): Defines how product information is encoded.
• Global Trade Item Number (GTIN): Ensures each product is uniquely identified.
• Serialization: Each item must carry a unique serial number.
• Data Accuracy: Encoding must match Shopify’s product catalog to avoid mismatches.
We offer multiple solutions to help Shopify retailers implement RFID tagging:
Pre-Encoded, Ready-to-Use RFID Labels
Best for small to medium retailers.
RFID Inlays in Hangtags, Price Labels, or Packaging
Enhances branding with RFID-enabled packaging.
Discover RFID-Enabled Packaging
RFID Printers & Encoders for In-House Labeling

What is TagMatiks Wedge and why do I need it?
TagMatiks Wedge is an android application that enables RFID-based inventory management. It integrates with Shopify to streamline product tracking, reduce manual errors, and keep stock levels updated in real time.
Do I need a special RFID handheld device?
Yes, TagMatiks Wedge requires an android RFID handheld reader to scan and capture EPC (Electronic Product Code) data from RFID tags.
Can I use this integration with pre-printed or custom RFID tags?
Yes, the workflow supports both pre-printed and custom tags, as long as EPC values are properly captured and mapped in the Reference File.
Why do I need to export data from Shopify first?
Exporting product and inventory data ensures that TagMatiks Wedge has the latest information about your store’s items. This data is then linked to RFID tags via the Reference File.
What is the RFID4U Template File used for?
The template organizes Shopify exports into structured sheets (Products, Inventory, Reference File, Manual Reference File) so they can be mapped correctly to RFID tags.
What happens if I forget to fill the “Available” and “On Hand” columns with 1?
TagMatiks Wedge relies on these values to validate inventory counts. Leaving them blank or incorrect may cause mismatches during scanning and exporting.
What is the Reference File?
The Reference File links Shopify product data (SKU, Title, Variants) with RFID tag EPCs. It ensures scanned tags correspond to the correct products in Shopify.
How do I capture EPC values?
EPCs can be scanned using a barcode reader or entered manually into the EPC column of the Reference File. Each identical item must have its own EPC entry.
Why do I need to copy data into the Manual Reference File?
The Manual Reference File acts as a finalized version of the Reference File, ensuring clean data for upload into TagMatiks Wedge.
What fields should I configure for Inventory View?
Recommended fields include Handle, Title, SKU, and Variant Barcode. However, you can customize based on your operational needs.
Why do I need to uncheck EPC and File Headers in Export Config?
These fields are not required for Shopify import and may cause formatting issues if left enabled.
What filter should I select for EPC?
Choose GS1 > SGTIN to ensure EPCs are interpreted correctly for product identification.
How do I start an inventory session?
From the TagMatiks Wedge home screen, tap Inventory, then the (+) icon to begin scanning. Use the hardware trigger to capture RFID tags.
What format should I export the scanned data in?
Export as CSV. This format is required for cleaning and re-importing into Shopify.
Why do I need to clean the exported CSV before importing?
Shopify requires “Available” and “On Hand” columns to be populated. Copying values from the Quantity column ensures compatibility.
Can I directly upload the TagMatiks export file to Shopify?
No. You must first adjust the file by copying Quantity values into Available and On Hand, then removing the Quantity column.
How do I confirm the import worked?
After uploading, Shopify will show a preview. Once imported, check your Inventory section to confirm updated stock levels.
My EPCs are not mapping correctly. What should I check?
Ensure EPC values are unique per item, correctly entered in the Reference File, and mapped under System Field: EPC(hex) and Reference Field: EPC in TagMatiks Wedge.
The import file is rejected by Shopify. Why?
Common causes include missing headers, incorrect column names, or leaving EPC/File Headers enabled in the export configuration.
Can I run multiple inventory sessions at once?
No. Each session must be completed, exported, and cleaned before importing back into Shopify.
