Get new barcodes for $500 per ASIN, per marketplace.

Are you noticing issues with your listings being removed? Are you seeing messages concerning GS1 Barcode Certification errors? If so, we have a stress-free service to correct this issue for you.

Amazon has changed their policy about GS1 barcodes and have started taking down listings without GS1 certified barcodes in the listing. The problem stems from the mismatch between the registered brand name of the UPC barcode and the brand name of the listing.

Barcode Change FAQs

What documents or information should I provide ordering?

GS1 Certified UPC Barcodes

How long does it take to make the change on Amazon?

Generally, it would take 3 to 4 weeks. It might change depending on several factors. It usually involves filing a lot of tickets.

If the original ASINs change, will the new ASIN have different inventory?

No. The inventory will not be affected by the ASIN change.

Is the service guaranteed to work?

Our proven track record speaks for itself. Since 10/13/22, we have been helping clients successfully change their UPCs.

We’re confident in our ability to deliver results.

What impact does changing the UPC have?

Minimal. There are no impacts to Reviews and BSR.

Labels – We recommend changing your UPC barcodes on your boxes, but you can also simply print Amazon barcode labels (FNSKU oklabels). From our experience, the old UPCs still associate with the ASINs, and still scan into FBA. But as a proactive measure in case this changes, we suggest you update your labels

Inventory – All current inventory at FBA is unaffected.

What is the scope of work for this service?

We will only change the UPC field for this service. Any issues such as a removed or yanked ASIN that needs reinstatement require an additional purchase from our website

Will my listings be down while the change is being made?

We don’t need to take down an ASIN to change a UPC, but there are times when Amazon will create a new ASIN to remove the incorrect UPC from the original listing. We rarely encounter this nowadays. But should this happen, we would just re-list your ASIN with everything intact and a very small chance of 24 hours of downtime.

Will the old UPC section just update to the new GS1 in Seller Central?

Yes.

After the conversion , do we just send in our products with the new GS1 code and it will scan through as well with no FNSKU?

Yes. We recommend updating labels to new GS1 on next manufacturing run.

Will the mix of products that have the old UPC barcodes and the same products with the new GS1 barcodes cause any inventory issues? Will any inventory in FBA warehouses that still use the old UPC barcodes be discarded?

No. The old UPC and new GS1 will exist on the same ASIN and both are usable. They can check both in and it won’t cause any stock or inventory issues. Just remember to use the new GS1 barcodes in succeeding manufacturing runs.

Will updating the UPC in the US market automatically update the UPC in the Canada market?

Yes. UPC is universal, and changing it in the US market will cause it to update in other markets as well, but the update in other markets may take some time to take effect .

When going through the UPC to GS 1 change process, will it interrupt my listing placement?

Since a UPC change is done by merger into another ASIN it does not disrupt the listing. Any inventory at FBA and all data will be transferred to the new ASIN and the Product Detail Page will remain live throughout the process.

After the change is made, will I be able to use my printed GS1 barcode and no longer apply the Amazon barcode sticker to each box? Or should I still apply the Amazon barcode sticker to each box?

You can use the old bar code but we advise swapping it with the new one on the next manufacturer run. FNSKU also works, but it’s best to use use the new one. Most importantly, make sure only 1 barcode is scannable, do not use both printed GS1 barcode and Amazon barcode.

When I put stickers on the box in the meantime with the Amazon barcode, do I need to cover the GS1 barcode until the process is done?

If Amazon has not accepted your GS1 barcode, yes, you do need to cover that with the amazon barcode. Amazon requires that there is only one scannable barcode on incoming units.
