Download a Sample PackageIn the last few decades, shopping has really evolved. Previously shoppers all over the world had to do a time-consuming process to check item prices. Manufacturers and resellers went through the same process. Adding prices or tags to each item requires an ample amount of time. Now, things have changed. Perhaps, a huge contrast to what most people experienced in the past decade.
Since the pricing process has changed, the way people shop and sell their products has also changed. Now, customers can leave the store in mere seconds after shopping and receive the bill from the store. The reason behind this is the existence of barcode numbers. A barcode is a product lookup code that is made up of the lines and numbers that you see. There is no information hidden within the barcode. The majority of goods produced by manufacturers and products sold by retailers have a barcode attached to them either directly on the product label or by a sticker. Barcodes are for scanners connected to a computer that reads and tracks the price information of a product. This process enables the seller to make the receipt for the customer in the shortest possible time. Gone are the days when cashiers manually type product prices which used to consume a lot of time and also used to be a hassle for most customers.
When you go to a grocery store or open your refrigerator, chances are you will see that almost every product has a printed UPC barcode. In fact, almost every product in the United States has its own UPC barcode, whatever type of product it may be. So, what are UPC barcodes and what are they for?
Universal Product Codes, or simply known as a UPC, is a 12 digit number that appears on the majority of all United States products. These barcodes were originally intended to help grocery and department stores speed up their checkout process. Also, through these UPC barcodes, grocery stores were able to efficiently keep track of their inventory. The system quickly caught on with all other retail products because of its benefits. UPC barcodes were designed for mass circulation and tracking of products.
How to get a UPC barcode?
The first step in getting a UPC barcode is to determine exactly how many different products you have that need a barcode. Companies need different UPC barcodes for each and every product they have. Each barcode must be unique. Keep in mind, any time you change something (color, size, scent, shape, quantity, etc.) about your product, it then becomes a different product and needs its own barcode number. Once you know how many numbers you need the rest is simple.
The best way to start off, if this is your first time making a purchase, is to register for a free account.

A UPC barcode does not have any information about your product or the price hidden in it. You will need to provide your barcode number and product information to the stores that will be selling your products so they can manually enter the information into their database. The store is the one responsible for storing UPC barcode information along with the accompanying product price in their point of sale database.
Speedy Barcodes Policy Disclaimer
Important Notice Regarding Third-Party Store Acceptance and Current Barcode Policies, Past and Present
Speedy Barcodes guarantees that every barcode sold is authentic, unique, and was originally issued by GS1 before the 2002 UCC settlement, which means they are legal for resale and use. However, Speedy Barcodes cannot promise acceptance by any third-party retailer, online marketplace, distributor, fulfillment provider, or store chain, since each company sets its own product-listing requirements, seller policies, barcode rules, and internal verification processes. Over time, many marketplaces and retailers have changed, updated, or even retroactively revised their barcode policies. Some companies that once accepted verified reseller barcodes may now require barcodes to be purchased directly from GS1 by the current brand owner. These choices are made solely by the retailer or marketplace and can change at any time without warning.
Examples of major retailers, warehouse clubs, home improvement stores, electronics retailers, sporting goods retailers, discount stores, department stores, home goods stores, and furniture retailers whose barcode acceptance policies may differ include, but are not limited to, the following:
There are well over a million retail establishments in the United States. Many independent stores, regional retailers, distributors, wholesalers, and other sales channels may accept Speedy Barcodes if their own policies allow it. Acceptance is not guaranteed everywhere, and the number of stores that may accept reseller barcodes can shift as retailers update their requirements.
Because Speedy Barcodes has no influence over the internal business decisions, policy changes, catalog systems, marketplace algorithms, brand registry requirements, or barcode acceptance rules used by companies like Amazon, Walmart, Target, Costco Wholesale, The Home Depot, Lowe's, Best Buy, or any other third-party retailer, Speedy Barcodes cannot be held responsible if a retailer, marketplace, or sales channel chooses not to accept reseller barcodes now or in the future. As a result, no refunds, store credits, exchanges, or barcode replacements will be provided for barcodes that become incompatible, restricted, rejected, or unusable due to policy changes, seller-account requirements, marketplace restrictions, brand-owner rules, retailer decisions, or any other third-party rule changes. This no-refund, no-store-credit, no-exchange, and no-replacement policy applies to both past and future barcode purchases.
It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to check the current barcode requirements of each intended retailer, marketplace, distributor, wholesaler, or sales channel before purchasing barcodes from Speedy Barcodes. Buyers should confirm acceptance directly with the specific company or platform where they plan to sell their products, since requirements may vary by retailer, product category, seller account, brand status, and listing method.
