UPC/EAN is required when adding or updating Items on Amazon

Modified on Tue, 26 Sep 2023 at 03:31 PM

In most cases, Amazon requires providing a valid barcode when you List or Revise a product with a certain Product Type assigned.  


Since you are about to create a new ASIN or update your product details on Amazon, the Product Identifiers settings for Amazon Integration must be configured. Please navigate to Amazon > Configuration > Settings > Product Identifiers and make sure the right Magento attribute containing a valid barcode is set for UPC/EAN field. 

For listings with variations, Amazon expects a unique product identifier, such as EAN or UPC, to be provided for each variation. For example, if you are selling a T-shirt in different colors and sizes, each variation would require its own unique barcodeSo please confirm that all of the Child Products in Magento contain the attribute with a valid UPC/EAN code. No barcode is required for a Parent Product.  


You will be able to List and Revise your products on Amazon without a barcode only if you have been approved for GTIN Exemption. In this case, the Product Identifiers settings are not required. You can find additional details here.
