FAQ
Amazon requires GS1-verified barcodes for its compliant listing flow and verifies product identifiers against GS1 records. Use our Amazon barcode plans instead of Standard plans if your listing requires GS1 registration tied to your company and product details.
No. Standard barcodes are a one-time purchase with no annual renewal fee.
Each distinct product or variation usually needs its own barcode, including different sizes, colors, bundles, or formats. Use the barcode estimator to count combinations and prefill names before checkout.
UPC is the 12-digit format common in North America. EAN is the 13-digit global format. Standard orders include both.
To get a barcode for your product please follow the following steps:
Go to Pricing.
Select a package which fits best to your needs or manually add the needed quantity to your cart.
Fill your first and last names, company name, your product names for which you are buying a barcode, and the email to which we will send the barcode (If you need to buy more than 5 barcodes, you need to register).
Checkout and make a payment.
Wait for your barcode: it would take 5-10 seconds to get back to your order page and also to get an email from [email protected] with your order details and download link. All UPC and EAN barcodes will be sent in SVG, PNG image formats and in XLS, CSV spreadsheets.
After you get your barcode, you can edit the name, detailed information and specifications of your product on the Barcodes Pro Database (GEPIR) if you are a registered user on Barcodes Pro.
Barcodes are based on international standards that ensure compatibility across retailers, distributors, and marketplaces worldwide. The most common formats are UPC and EAN, both part of the GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) system.
The Universal Product Code (UPC) is a 12-digit barcode used primarily in the United States and Canada. It's the standard format for retail products in North America.
The European Article Number (EAN) is a 13-digit barcode format used internationally. It’s the global equivalent of UPC and is accepted by retailers and marketplaces worldwide.
GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) refers to the broader system that includes both UPC (GTIN-12) and EAN (GTIN-13). It’s the globally recognized standard for identifying individual retail products. Whether you use a UPC or an EAN, both are valid GTINs that ensure your products can be sold and tracked internationally.

Both 13-digit EAN-13 and 12-digit UPC barcodes follow the same basic structure under the global GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) standard. Each barcode is made up of three parts:
The first set of digits identifies the Barcodes Pro member company that owns the barcode. This prefix is not necessarily tied to the country of manufacture.
Note: EAN-13 codes starting with "0" are equivalent to UPC-A codes. The leading 0 simply expands the code to 13 digits.
This portion is assigned by the company to identify a specific product or variation (e.g., size, color, flavor). The combined length of the company prefix and product number is usually 12 digits for EAN-13 and 11 for UPC, leaving space for the final check digit.
The check digit is an additional digit, used to verify that a barcode has been scanned correctly.
While some barcode prefixes may look like country codes, they do not indicate the product's country of origin. Instead, they reflect the organization (like Barcodes Pro or GS1) that issued the barcode. A product can be manufactured anywhere and still have a barcode starting with any prefix—what matters is where the barcode was registered, not where the product was made.
Barcodes Pro manages the entire barcode assignment process for you – including prefix allocation, product code creation, and check digit calculation. There's no need to memorize formats or do any math. Just focus on naming your products—we handle the technical structure behind each barcode.
