Are Shopify Barcodes Universal?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 2:58 am

Shopify is a platform that allows businesses of all sizes to create an online store. One of the many features it offers is the ability to generate and use barcodes. But are these barcodes universal

The short answer is yes, Shopify barcodes are universal. This means that they can be used by any business, regardless of size or location. All you need is a smartphone or tablet with a camera, and you can scan and track inventory with ease.

PRO TIP: Barcodes are not universal. Each country has its own barcode system. Shopify barcodes may work in some countries but not others.

There are two main types of barcodes that Shopify supports: UPC (Universal Product Code) and EAN (European Article Number). UPC codes are the most common type of barcode in North America, while EAN codes are more common in Europe. However, both types of barcodes can be used internationally.

Shopify also offers QR codes, which are similar to barcodes but can be scanned with a QR code reader instead of a traditional barcode scanner. QR codes are becoming increasingly popular as they can be used to track products, links, and even people.

So if you’re looking for a platform that offers universal barcode support, Shopify is a great option. With its easy-to-use interface and comprehensive features, it’s perfect for businesses of all sizes.
