Where do our codes come from and why are they cheap?
ShipAIM2024-08-31T02:21:01+00:00We do not create the codes, they are delivered by GS1 to companies who don't use them and sell them to us. You do not get your own unique code prefix, which is perfectly fine to sell your products.Will my UPC codes be unique to me/my products?
ShipAIM2024-08-31T02:19:51+00:00Yes, our UPC codes originate from GS1-US and are guaranteed to be unique and never issued before. YOU will be the only person in the world who can legally use the UPC Codes that you purchase.
Will you charge me Renewal Fees?
ShipAIM2024-08-31T02:14:20+00:00No, we will never charge you any future fees (eg. renewal fees or annual membership fees for UPC/EAN). All of our prices are one-off payments
Will my UPC codes work in a country other than the USA and Canada?
ShipAIM2024-08-31T02:09:20+00:00Yes, your UPC codes will work in any country where UPC and EAN codes are scanned!
Do I need a separate UPC Codes for every product?
ShipAIM2024-08-31T02:04:43+00:00Yes, you need a different UPC code for each UNIQUE product that you sell. For example, let’s imagine you have a t-shirt company and you want to sell 3 different color shirts of the same size, you’ll need 3 UPC codes. Then, let’s imagine you have 3 different colored shirts in 3 different sizes, you’ll need a total of 9 UPC Codes.
When I search the GS1 database, a different company comes up, not mine. Why?
ShipAIM2024-08-31T01:49:08+00:00The GS1 prefix owner name doesn’t change in the database even though UPCs do change ownership all the time, hence why an unfamiliar company may show up. All that company means in the GS1 database is that the code is GS1 verified. The name in the database is the original prefix owner, not the current UPC owner. Your code will work fine on Amazon/Google/iTunes, etc. without issue, and we don't offer a money back guarantee.
Amazon changed their policy, do your codes still work?
ShipAIM2024-08-31T01:42:50+00:00Yes, our codes work. Some people suggest that Amazon won’t accept 3rd party codes, but this is not true. They simply want GS1 verified codes, and not “air codes” that don’t verify with the GS1. Our codes verify with the GS1 and are accepted on all major platforms and services, including Amazon.
Amazon says it needs to be 13 digits, how do I fix this?
ShipAIM2024-08-31T01:40:04+00:00Simply add a leading 0 to the UPC code you bought and this will resolve the issue.
How much does it cost to get a UPC?
ShipAIM2024-08-31T01:38:00+00:00One code costs $5, but the more you buy, the cheaper each code is. For example, if you buy 100 codes, the cost per code is only $0.40. Please see our Buy UPC Codes page for full pricing options.
