UPC (Universal Product Code) and EAN-13 (European Article Number) barcodes are required for selling products online. These barcodes provide a unique identification number for each product, enabling efficient tracking and inventory management in e-commerce platforms. Online retailers require sellers to include UPC or EAN-13 barcodes when listing products to ensure accurate product identification and smooth transactions.

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.
Use your UPC or EAN barcode number to create a listing on Amazon Seller Central, Shopify, Ebay and other online stores. This is the only step you required to use your barcode number.
Based on your UPC and EAN barcodes Amazon will assign a unique identifier called an ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number) to each listing. Other online stores or marketplaces may have their own unique identification systems similar to ASINs.
If you ship the products to customers yourself, you don’t need to print or apply the barcode label on your product or packaging.
If you use FBA, Amazon will provide FNSKU (Fulfillment Network Stock Keeping Unit) Amazon Barcode for each manufactured item of your listing. This is a Order / Shipment ID which you will find on Amazon Seller Central when you are creating your shipping plan. You need FNSKU labels applied on your packaging for each item of your listing. The other online stores may also have similar procedures in place for product identification and tracking purposes.

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 that start with "0" are functionally equivalent to UPC-A codes, with a leading zero added to meet the 13-digit format.
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.
Although some prefixes may resemble country codes, they do not indicate where a product was made. They simply show which organization (such as Barcodes Pro or GS1) issued the barcode. For example, a product made in China could have a barcode starting with "0", "79", or any other prefix, depending on where the barcode was registered - not manufactured.
Barcodes Pro handles the entire barcode assignment process for you - including prefix allocation, product code generation, and check digit calculation. You don’t need to memorize formats or do any math. Just focus on naming your products, and we take care of the technical structure behind each barcode.
