What’s a barcode, anyway?
A barcode is a one-of-a-kind code composed of numbers, along with a specific pattern of stripes that represents a particular product. These codes are designed to be scanned by optical readers, just like the ones you see at checkout counters in retail stores. But since the lines correspond to a list of numbers, it’s easy to lookup any product with a barcode simply by matching those numbers to an entry in a database. The three different barcode formats and symbologies you’ll find on our website are:
UPC – UNIVERSAL PRODUCT CODE
The United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and many other countries generally use barcodes known as Universal Product Codes (UPCs).
EAN- INTERNATIONAL ARTICLE NUMBER
Merchants in Europe and other areas around the world often use a barcode type known as an International Article Number (EAN, since it was formerly known as European Article Number).
ISBN – INTERNATIONAL STANDARD BOOK NUMBER
Books often use the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) barcode format, which is compatible with EAN barcodes.
Why do a barcode lookup?
A product’s packaging may not tell you everything you need to know about that product — where it comes from, how well it works or how it’s priced at other stores. Enter any product’s UPC, EAN or ISBN code into Barcode Lookup, and find all kinds of information about the item including its manufacturer, name, description, photos and customer reviews. We even show you links to online stores where you can buy the same item — often for less than your local retail store is charging. We’re here to make it as easy as possible for you to find what you’re looking for, so you can make smart buying decisions.
Barcode Lookup is used by thousands of e-commerce stores worldwide.
In many countries, Google merchant accounts now require the use of Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) in shopping data feeds. These internationally accepted codes enable online merchants across the globe to identify products in a way that other merchants and customers can recognize. A growing number of online merchants now include product UPC, EAN and ISBN barcodes in their shopping cart back-end systems.
