Generate or import UPC/EAN (GTIN, GS1) codes
Assign UPC/EAN codes for your WooCommerce products

  • Generate free EAN/UPC codes for internal use
  • Import real/purchased EAN and UPC codes from Excel/CSV file
  • Imported codes can be used by Amazon, Google, eBay, Walmart and other marketplaces

This plugin was designed to achieve 2 major purposes:

  1. To assign codes for all your existing products automatically.
    So, you don't have to open each WooCommerce product and add the UPC/EAN code manually.
  2. To assign codes for newly created products.
    So, when you create a new product - the UPC or EAN code will be added to the product automatically.

This plugin allows you to use both types of the EAN/UPC codes:

  • Free EAN/UPC codes (for internal use)
  • Real/purchased EAN/UPC codes

Note: If you don't know the difference between free and paid EAN/UPC codes, please check out this article.

Difference between free and paid codes:

From legal point of view the free EAN/UPC codes can be used only internally (inside your company/website).

If you want to use the EAN/UPC codes publicly or use them for the marketplaces (like Amazon, Google, Walmart, eBay, etc. ) then you will need to purchase the real EAN/UPC codes.

Our company do not sell EAN/UPC codes (we are web-development company) but there are plenty of EAN/UPC sellers online with quite fair prices.

After purchase you become the owner of the UPC/EAN codes and legally nobody else can use them except you.

Usually seller provides you with the spreadsheet file (Excel or CSV) with the list of EAN/UPC codes and certificate which says that you are the real owner.

The purchased spreadsheet file later can be used by this plugin for assigning codes to the WooCommerce products.

Supported plugins/product fields:

Our plugin can assign codes to the various of product fields and has integration with the next plugins:

  • "Barcode" field - created by default by this plugin
  • "SKU" field - WooCommerce
  • "EAN" field - "EAN for WooCommerce"
  • 'EAN" field - "Product GTIN (EAN, UPC, ISBN) for WooCommerce"
  • "GTIN" field - "WooCommerce UPC, EAN, and ISBN"
  • "Barcode" field - "wePOS - Point Of Sale (POS) for WooCommerce"
  • "GTIN" field - "Germanized for WooCommerce"
  • "MPN" field - "Germanized for WooCommerce"
  • "Barcode" field - "PayPal Zettle POS"
  • "Supplier's SKU" field - "ATUM Inventory Management for WooCommerce"
  • "Barcode" field - "ATUM Inventory Management for WooCommerce"
  • Custom field (any custom field with a meta name)

FAQ

  • No, it generates free codes for internal use. If you need the real codes you will have to purchase them from online sellers. After purchase you can import spreadsheet file with codes using our plugin.
  • If first file doesn't have enough codes anymore, simply purchase the second file and upload it. Plugin will use codes from second file as soon as codes from first is fully used.
  • Technically it is possible but it will not be legal. We are company based in EU and we follow the laws, that is why we do not allow plugin to generate real codes for free.
  • Please contact us and describe the feature you need. We will discuss it with our web-developers and will get back to you with the answer.

Hi

we are reseller of branded item online, so do we need Gtin number? we are not manufacturer or brand owners. we just buy from them and sell products through retail and online.

already the brand has EAN barcode on each products.

so do we need to create another number as GTIN/EAN number on each products to sell online.?

suppose if we create another code from your plugin, will it have any conflicts between original brand owner EAN number and our new generated code with your plugin? will it be allowed in online selling especially google?

pls advise on the above thanks.

Hello,

There are 2 ways to achieve what you need:

1. If products already have EAN/UPC barcodes (created by brand) then you can use them to sell on google and other marketplaces.

2. The second way is to purchase your own EAN/UPC barcodes and assigned them to products using this plugin. Important: for marketplaces like google you need to use the real codes which only can be purchased online and then imported into woocommerce using this plugin. There are plenty of sellers online who can sell codes to you: https://www.google.com/search?q=buy+UPC%2FEAN+codes

thanks for your quick reply.

if we use brand EAN number we need to scan the barcode and assigned to each products and variations . am i right?

do we need to buy which one UPC or EAN? both are selling online. some are with barcodes and some without barcodes. so we need to buy only the UPC OR EAN codes and no need of barcodes right. pls advise.

total number of products in our website is 350 products and if we include variations it will come around 7000/-. so do we need to buy only for total number of SKUs- 350 nos or we need to add variations too.? pls advise thanks.

>if we use brand EAN number we need to scan the barcode and assigned to each products and variations . am i right?

Correct, for this you can use our “Barcode Scanner” plugin: https://www.ukrsolution.com...

>do we need to buy which one UPC or EAN? both are selling online. some are with barcodes and some without barcodes. so we need to buy only the UPC OR EAN codes and no need of barcodes right. pls advise.

You need only UPC or EAN codes, barcode image can be created later using third party plugin from purchased codes. The google and other marketplaces request only UPC/EAN codes, they don’t request Barcode image.

>total number of products in our website is 350 products and if we include variations it will come around 7000/-. so do we need to buy only for total number of SKUs- 350 nos or we need to add variations too.? pls advise thanks.

Variations are counted as separate products, so I am afraid you will need to get 7000+ EAN codes

GTIN it is a general name/alias for the EAN/UPC codes.

So, when somebody mention GTIN in the internet – they mean actually EAN or UPC codes.

If you live in USA – you need to use UPC codes.

If you are from the rest of the world – you need to use EAN codes.
