Get Your Product Listed on Amazon: The Importance of Obtaining Unique UPC Codes
UPCs (Universal Product Codes) identify products in the retail industry, including on Amazon. To list a product on Amazon, you will need a UPC for each product variation you want to sell, such as different sizes or colors.
It's essential to ensure that the UPC you use is unique and not used by another product. If you enter the wrong UPC, you can confuse customers and negatively impact your product's visibility on Amazon.
How to Obtain UPCs (Universal Product Codes)
- Purchase UPCs from a UPC provider.
- If you are the product manufacturer, you can obtain UPCs directly from GS1, the organization responsible for managing the UPC standard.
- If the manufacturer already assigns your product a UPC, you can use that code when listing your product on Amazon.
