| What are EAN barcodes? Do I really need one? | |
| EAN stand for European Article Number. Retail products outside of North America feature a single standard EAN barcode. Retail products sold within North America feature a UPC barcode. In short, the EAN is a 13-digit unique code for your product represented by scannable bars. EAN codes (also known as GTIN-13) appear as lines (bars) of varying widths representing the series of numbers commonly shown below the bars. Barcode scanners read the bars and convert them back to the 13-digit EAN number that they represent. When you reach an agreement with a retailer to carry your product(s), they request the information required by their unique proprietary sales and inventory tracking systems. Your 13-digit EAN number, when looked up within the retailer's inventory system, finds the corresponding product name and price. This information helps the retailer keep accurate inventory data, review sales, and reorder. |

|
| Does Simply Barcodes put my product information in my barcode symbol? | |
| NO, your barcode symbol only contains your official EAN barcode number. Each retailer maintains their own sales and inventory tracking systems. So you must provide your product information for each retailer carrying your products. |
|
|
|
| How many EAN codes do I need? | |
| In order to properly identify your products in their inventory management system, each retailer requires a different EAN barcode for each unique product. Example: You produce and sell picture frames and want to offer your frames for sale on Amazon. You carry two colors, dark walnut and cherry, and both frames come in three sizes including small, medium and large. How many unique EAN codes are required? The answer: Six Why? Product One: Dark Walnut Frame Small Product Two: Dark Walnut Frame Medium Product Three: Dark Walnut Frame Large Product Four: Cherry Frame Small Product Five: Cherry Frame Medium Product Six: Cherry Frame Large |

|
| Do you require a tax identification number/social security number? | |

| What is a UPC barcode? And how does it work? | |
| In short, the UPC is a 12-digit unique code for your product represented by scannable bars. Universal Product Codes (also known as GTIN-12) appear as lines (bars) of varying widths representing the series of numbers commonly shown below the bars. Barcode scanners read the bars and convert them back to the 12-digit UPC number that they represent. When you reach an agreement with a retailer to carry your product(s), they request the information required by their unique proprietary sales and inventory tracking systems. Your 12-digit UPC number, when looked up within the retailer's inventory system, finds the corresponding product name and price. This information helps the retailer keep accurate inventory data, review sales, and reorder. |

| What if I am selling to The Kroger Co., Macys, Inc., Wal-Mart Stores, Sears Brands, LLC or other stores that require GS1 membership? | |
| In this case, we absolutely recommend that you go directly to GS1. | |
|
|
| I am still not sure, is there an outside source where I can check to see that Simply Barcodes is legitimate? | |
