过去几十年里,购物发生了实实在在的变化。以前,世界各地的购物者都要花很长时间来检查商品价格。制造商和经销商也是如此。为每个商品添加价格或标签需要大量时间。现在,情况变了。或许,这与过去十年大多数人的经历形成了巨大反差。
由于定价过程发生了变化,人们购买和销售产品的方式也随之改变。如今,顾客可以在购物完后几秒钟内离开商店并收到商店的账单。这背后的原因在于条形码编号的使用。条形码是产品查找编码,由您看到的线条和数字组成。条形码内无任何隐藏信息。大多数制造商生产的产品和零售商销售的产品都带有条形码,条形码要么直接打印在产品标签上,要么用贴纸贴在产品包装上。条形码可用扫描器扫描,与之相连的计算机可读取并跟踪产品的价格信息。这个过程使得卖方能够在最短的时间内为顾客提供小票。收银员手动输入商品价格的日子一去不复返了,过去这个过程十分耗时,对大部分顾客来说也很麻烦。
如今,当您走进一家杂货店或打开冰箱时,您会发现几乎每个产品都有一个打印的 UPC 条形码。事实上,美国几乎所有产品都有自己的 UPC 条形码,不管是什么类型的产品。那么,什么是 UPC 条形码?它们有什么用途?
通用产品代码,简称 UPC 码,是一种 12 位数字编码,在大部分的美国商品上都能看到。这种条形码最初是用来帮助杂货店和百货公司提高结账速度。此外,UPC 条形码还能帮助杂货店有效跟踪库存。这些优点使得该系统很快就被其他零售产品所采用。UPC 条形码是为产品的大规模流通和跟踪而设计的。
如何获取 UPC 条形码?
获取 UPC 条形码的第一步是确定您有多少不同的产品需要条形码。公司要为每种产品提供不同的 UPC 条形码。每个条形码必须独一无二。记住,每次对产品作出更改(颜色、尺寸、气味、形状、数量等)后,该产品就会变成另一种产品,其条形码编号也需要改变。确定了所需的条形码数量后,剩下的步骤就很简单了。
如果这是您首次购买,最好先注册一个免费帐户。完成上一步后,即可挑选您想购买的条形码数量,然后完成结账过程。成功下单后,您的网络浏览器将自动转到我们网站上的帐户中心,几分钟后,您可以直接从我们安全的服务器下载您的订单。下载完成后,您马上可以开始使用您的条形码编号!
UPC 条形码不包含任何关于产品或价格的信息。您需要将条形码编号和产品信息提供给销售相关产品的商店,以便他们将信息手动输入数据库。商店负责将 UPC 条形码信息以及相应的产品价格存储在销售点数据库中。
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 barcode purchases past present and future.
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.
