Buy UPC Codes for Amazon Listings — GS1-Originated, No Annual Fees
Selling on Amazon requires a valid UPC or EAN barcode for every product you list in most categories. Without a legitimate barcode, your listing can be suppressed, your account flagged, or your product removed entirely. GoodUPC supplies GS1-originated UPC codes — barcodes that trace back to a GS1-registered company prefix — at a fraction of what GS1 charges directly. No annual renewal fees. No complicated paperwork. Instant delivery to your inbox.
Why Amazon Requires GS1-Originated Barcodes
Amazon’s barcode policy has tightened significantly over the years. Amazon now requires that product barcodes originate from GS1. This means the UPC or EAN you use must be traceable to a GS1-registered prefix — not randomly generated or recycled from an unknown source.
GoodUPC barcodes meet this requirement. Every code we sell was issued from a GS1-registered company prefix, making them valid for Amazon product listings across virtually all categories including:
- Grocery & Gourmet Foods
- Health, Beauty & Personal Care
- Sports & Outdoors
- Home & Kitchen
- Baby Products
- Electronics Accessories
- Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry (when a GTIN is required)
- Pet Supplies
GoodUPC vs. GS1 Direct — Cost Comparison for Amazon Sellers
Many sellers assume they must go directly to GS1 to get compliant barcodes. While GS1 is the global standards body, they are not the only legal source. Barcodes issued from GS1-registered prefixes — even when resold — remain valid. Here is how the costs compare:
| Provider | Setup / One-Time Cost | Annual Renewal Fee | 10 Barcodes Total Cost (Year 1) | 10 Barcodes Total Cost (Year 3) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GS1 US (direct) | $250+ | $50–$150/year | $300–$400 | $400–$700 |
| GoodUPC | One-time fee only | $0 — none, ever | Starting under $30 | Same — no renewals |
For small-batch sellers, private label brands, or anyone launching multiple SKUs, GoodUPC delivers massive savings over the lifetime of your products.
How to Use Your GoodUPC Barcode on Amazon
Once you purchase and receive your barcodes (delivered instantly by email), applying them to your Amazon listing is straightforward:
- Log in to Amazon Seller Central and start a new product listing.
- In the “Vital Info” tab, select the appropriate product category.
- Enter your UPC or EAN in the “Product ID” field.
- Complete the rest of your listing details (title, images, price, etc.).
- Submit the listing. Amazon will validate the barcode against the GS1 database.
Because GoodUPC codes originate from GS1-registered prefixes, they pass Amazon’s validation checks. You will also receive a certificate of authenticity with every order confirming the GS1 origin of your barcodes.
How Many UPC Codes Do You Need?
Each unique product variation requires its own UPC code. If you sell a t-shirt in three sizes (S, M, L) and two colors, that is six separate UPCs. Plan ahead and buy a pack that covers your current and near-future catalog. GoodUPC offers flexible pack sizes so you only pay for what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions — UPC Codes for Amazon
Are GoodUPC barcodes accepted by Amazon?
Yes. GoodUPC barcodes originate from GS1-registered company prefixes, which means they are GS1-originated barcodes that comply with Amazon’s product ID requirements. Thousands of Amazon sellers use GoodUPC codes successfully every month.
Do I need to renew my UPC codes every year on Amazon?
No. Unlike purchasing directly from GS1 (which charges annual renewal fees of $50–$150 per year), GoodUPC barcodes are a one-time purchase. Once you buy them, they are yours forever with no recurring costs.
How quickly will I receive my UPC codes after purchase?
Delivery is instant. Immediately after your payment is confirmed, your UPC codes and accompanying certificate are sent to your email address. There is no waiting period.
Can I use one UPC code for multiple Amazon listings?
No. Amazon requires a unique UPC or EAN for each distinct product. Each size, color, or variation needs its own barcode. Reusing a single code across multiple listings will cause errors and may result in listing suppression.
What if Amazon asks for proof of barcode origin?
GoodUPC provides a certificate of authenticity with every order that documents the GS1-registered origin of your barcodes. This certificate has helped our customers successfully respond to Amazon’s barcode verification requests.
