Yes, our codes still work, just as they have for 15+ years.  Some people suggest that Amazon won’t accept 3rd party codes, but this is not true.  They simply want GS1 verified codes, and not “air codes” that don’t verify with the GS1.  Our codes verify with the GS1 and are accepted on all major platforms and services, including Amazon.

If you purchased a UPC code from us, it will always be 12 or 13 digits. However, depending on how you’re viewing the codes, any 0 at the beginning may be truncated.  Simply add a leading 0 to the code and it will resolve the problem.

If your code is showing in the csv spreadsheet as 1.234E+12 or something other than a 12 or 13 digit number, you simply need to reformat the cell display in your settings.  

With each order we send you 2 files, 1 with your codes, and 1 with your barcodes. However, with the UPC code(s), you can easily generate barcodes to your own specifications if the ones we send aren’t the correct format, size, etc. 

Simply add a leading 0 to the UPC code you bought and this will resolve the issue.

Sometimes you can get away with just using a UPC code and then you can purchase the UPC codes from us. However, we do not offer ISBN’s at this time.
