Adding product barcodes

How to add UPC, EAN, and ITF barcode numbers for products

Written by Amy Blanton

A "Barcode" is a mechanism used to uniquely identify products by their manufacturer and product type. Some of the most common barcode formats are Universal Product Code (UPC), European Article Number (EAN), and Interleaved Two of Five (ITF).

On Cloud, you can tag the UPC, EAN, and ITF barcodes to the products in the catalog. Currently, barcodes can be tagged to products as follows:

  • In the product details view, go to the "Specs, Barcodes & Coverage" tab and add barcode numbers in one or more formats.

  • When importing products, specify their barcodes in separate columns with their barcode format names.

  • In the "Specs, Barcodes & Coverage" tab, click "Map Barcode" in the "Barcodes" tile and scan the barcode with your device's camera or a handheld scanner. Only UPC, EAN, and ITF barcodes are accepted, and the scanned number is saved to the matching format's field. This option requires the "Edit catalog items" permission and is not available for D-Tools Library products.
