To sell your products on Amazon, you will need to adopt a Product Identifier, for most categories. In other words, the GTIN or Global Trade Item Number and potentially a Barcode.
GTIN | EAN | UPC Codes for Selling on Amazon
Amazon presents a great opportunity to expand your business horizons, thanks to the steady growth of the Italian market in 2021. The eCommerce giant has also contributed to the creation of thousands of new jobs in Italy. Selling products on Amazon is possible even without an established business, as they handle most of the online marketing. However, to sell successfully, it’s important to comply with the GTIN Code policy, which ensures unique product identification. While many see Amazon as a profit opportunity, success requires time and commitment.
“The GTIN Code is crucial for us to match products and provide accurate information to our customers. GTIN is mandatory and necessary information for selling products on Amazon.”
Amazon’s GTIN Code Policy
Amazon’s GTIN | EAN | UPC Code policy has an impact not only on new suppliers looking to sell on Amazon but also on existing sellers who risk product suspension. Not only is there a risk of wasting time and money in an attempt to be reinstated, but there is also the loss of missed profit from blocked listings. With our Codifica Service, GTIN | EAN | UPC Codes will always be traceable and without leasing, forever!
“We verify the authenticity of product identifiers by checking the GS1 database. EAN/UPC codes that do not match the information provided by GS1 will be considered invalid,” Amazon Seller Central.
What does this mean? Do I have to rent a company prefix and associate myself with GS1? No. Since we offer our Codifica Service, you can obtain individual UPC, EAN, and GTIN codes registered under your company, certified and guaranteed by GS1. Take a look at the latest applications from our customers who have successfully listed on Amazon using our Coding Service!
The dark side of Amazon!
From what we have observed, it seems that Amazon has different behaviors in accepting products and GTIN Codes (EAN and UPC) based on the methods of publication, the quantity of products to be published and the “caliber” of the Seller, therefore using also the numbers provided by our Standard Service. We don’t know what alleged agreements could take place but certainly here is our disappointment
Issues with Publishing on Amazon?
For Amazon Sellers using our Codifica Service, we have created this page that provides a list of possible solutions for the most common errors you may encounter when listing your products on Amazon. We recommend providing Amazon with a copy of your GS1 Certificate along with a screenshot of the GS1 GEPIR that demonstrates the Code is licensed to your Company. Of course, with our Codifica Service, you will have everything you may need. If you need support, contact Amazon’s Seller Partner Support.
Product Images
It is important that your product images meet the requirements of your online marketplace. How you present your products influences the customer’s purchasing decision. On Amazon, if your product images do not meet the specifications, they may be removed from the site.
Preparation and Packaging for Amazon Logistics
Do I need to apply a Barcode to each item shipped to Amazon Fulfillment Centers?
Only if you are unable to label it with the appropriate Amazon Product Label.
Amazon requires its own Product Label for the entire inventory.
For suppliers who are unable to apply an Amazon Product Label to each item, it is necessary to mark the items with their own Barcode and then pay Amazon for the application of the Amazon Product Label.
