UPC Codes are sold in "packs" as a way to offer bulk discounts. The more you purchase, the lower you pay per code. From the dashboard of the application, select how many UPC Codes you would like to purchase. The application will always show you how many UPC Codes you are about to buy, and at what price. ![](/files/-M4ufjCFkiv4hBkMei9p) ### Step 2 - Adding Codes to Products There are two ways to add UPC Codes you have purchased from UPC Code Manager to your application: #### 1. Using the app navigation to link UPC Codes you purchased to a product 1. Navigate to Apps --> UPC Code Manager 2. From the dashboard of the UPC Code Manager application, select the product you want to add codes to 3. ...if the product has a single variant click on "**Add barcodes to 1 variant**" 4. ...if the product has multiple variants, select the variants you want to add UPC Codes to and click on **"Add barcodes to \_\_ variants"** 5.

All of your products will say "0 Barcodes needed" In order to add a UPC code to that product or product variant, you will need to navigate to your product within Shopify and clear the barcode field. Here is a video I recorded that shows you how to do that: ## Amazon is rejecting my codes, what should I do? So far, we have helped hundreds of thousands of products get listed on Amazon, and haven't yet run into an issue. ### Reason 1: The "Barcode" field was already filled in for some products, before installing and using UPC Code Manager. The most common reason why Amazon rejects codes, is actually because they aren't our codes they are rejecting. The Amazon Sales Channel app expects the UPC to be populated in the "Barcode" field of your products or product variants. **Just because the "Barcode" field is populated inside of Shopify Admin, does not mean that UPC Code Manager populated it.** {% hint style="success" %} UPC Codes purchased from UPC Code Manager will **always** be a 12 or 13 digit number. {% endhint %} 9/10 times, Amazon is rejecting codes that were either set manually inside of Shopify Admin, or were set by another app like the Shopify Retail Barcode Labels app. #### **How to fix it:** 1. Navigate to the product from inside of the main Shopify Admin. 2. Click on "Edit" for the variant you want to edit. 3. Delete whatever is in the "Barcode" field and click "Save" 4. Add UPC Codes like it says on the [**getting started guide**](/upc-code-manager/getting-started#step-2-adding-codes-to-products). ### Reason 2: Your brand is not registered with Amazon yet. If you are getting error 5665, it means that your brand has not yet been registered with Amazon. This error actually has nothing to do with the UPC Codes themselves. Before you add products to Amazon using your brand as the manufacturer, you need to register your brand with Amazon. Please create an account at [**Amazon Brand Registry**](https://brandservices.amazon.com/) and follow the instructions to register your brand. ### Reason 3: Somebody guessed the UPC Code number and is using it This is unlikely, however it does happen from time to time. UPC Codes are technically just numbers after all, and that makes it easy for somebody to guess a number. You can't for example, just grab a can of soda from the fridge and use that soda's UPC Code to get your product listed. If this happens, Amazon will let you know that this is the reason. Complete the following steps below, and we will look up whether the UPC Code came from us. If it did, we will happily work with you to get it replaced. ### Next steps: If the above reasons are not the case Please submit a support ticket with the following information: 1. UPC Code/Barcode that is generating the error. Please make sure the code is a 12 digit or 13 digit number. 2. A screenshot of the error from Amazon. Please take a screenshot of your whole page and include it as an attachment in your email. 3. The original error code that is being returned from Amazon if there is one. 4. The variant code for the product that is being rejected. We will use this information to determine whether the error is being caused by one of our codes, or some other more common reason. ![Barcode field set manually inside Shopify Admin. Amazon will reject this code. However, this field was NOT set by UPC Code Manager. ](/files/-M4spbJsahWlgwRnN0sG) ## How do I find my Variant ID? UPC Code Manager uses Variant IDs to log a history of what products or product variants our codes have been applied to. You can always find the variant ID of a particular product in the URL of the variant. **Steps** 1. Navigate to a product. 2. Scroll to the Variants section of the product page 3. For the variant you want to lookup, click on "Edit." The variant ID will be the last number in the URL ![](/files/-M4soXV9v_gR1e0NduBd) ## How much is the monthly subscription cost? UPC Code Manager is 100% free to use, only pay for the codes you purchase through the app. {% hint style="success" %} **UPC Code Manager does not ever charge a recurring amount of money per month.** {% endhint %} UPC Code Manager takes advantage of Shopify's Usage Charges pricing feature. When you purchase UPC Codes from the application, the price of your purchase is added to your Shopify invoice, and you are billed at the end of your next Shopify billing cycle. In order to authorize UPC Code Manager to charge you need to authorize the recurring charge. This is like starting a bar tab. When you purchase UPC Codes through the application, the price of the codes are added to your open tab, and you are charged at the end of the month. We set the limit of the maximum amount of money you are able to spend in a given month at $100. If you need more codes than that, reach out to us, and we can create a bulk order for you. ## All about the GS1 **Who is GS1?** GS1 is a private company (they are not part of the U.S. government) that issues UPC/EAN codes and keeps a registry of the company names that they sold codes to. They do not update this list when codes are resold to new owners, and as a result, their records contain less than 20% of the names of the current owners of barcodes. **What is the difference between buying from GS1 and buying from you?** For most uses there is no difference between purchasing the codes from us or from GS1, except the cost.\ With GS1 you will need to pay a fee for the codes and an annual renewal fee – for the first 10 codes this cost is $250 plus $50/year in renewal fees. For 1,000 codes the cost is $2,500 plus $500/year in renewal fees. We charge significantly less! The codes we sell were issued by GS1 before the requirement of renewal fees so they are not subject to any additional fees. You can use these codes in retail stores or online E-commerce sites like Amazon and Ebay. **Will you register my company on GS1?** No, GS1 is in the business of selling codes and will only change the name if you purchase the codes directly from them. The cost is $250 for the first 10 codes! plus an annual renewal fee. If this is what you want, please let us know and we will issue you a full refund. **Why isn’t your company registered on GS1?** GS1 is in the business of selling codes and will not change the registration. We acquire the codes from the company that GS1 originally issued them to and then sell them to you. You own the codes and there are no annual renewal fees. **Is it legal to purchase codes from a reseller?** Yes, GS1 doesn’t like it, but the reselling of codes is a legal business. Many years ago GS1 tried to stop resellers but they lost in Court. We have been selling on Ebay for 14 years. # Announcements ### 09/01/2020 - New Pricing **Starting 09/01/2020** we'll be raising our per-code prices in order to absorb higher operational costs to continue providing the best possible service to you. **New pricing will be as follows:** | Pack size | Pack Cost | Price/Code | | --------- | --------- | ---------- | | 1 code | $5.00 | $5.00/code | | 10 codes | $10.00 | $1.00/code | | 50 codes | $25.00 | $0.50/code | | 200 codes | $50.00 | $0.25/code | | 500 codes | $100.00 | $0.50/code | ### 08/15/2020 - New 13 digit "EAN" Codes by default We just pushed an update that now formats codes as a 13 digit international "EAN" code by default. Amazon will accept both the 12 digit "UPC" code format, as well as the 13 digit "EAN" format. This update will help merchants that utilize the svgs that are generated from the barcode field. # Getting Started ![](/files/-M7DVFtGOy7CEkiFzsQo) Poppy is an **Account Creation Popup for Shopify**. It makes the process of checkout take less work for your customers, by shifting the account creation step earlier in the customer lifecycle journey. By the time your customers are ready to checkout, they are already logged into their account at your store. This speeds up time at checkout. If they decide not to purchase today, they will create more abandoned checkout objects inside of Shopify for you to be able to act on. If you want to create a members only store, and gate access to your store, Poppy can help with that as well (coming soon!) To get started, first make sure your store has customer accounts enabled. {% content-ref url="/pages/-M5iJ63HLaU8tpXlmHqv" %} [Enabling Customer Accounts](/poppy-exit-intent-popup/poppy-getting-started/enabling-customer-accounts) {% endcontent-ref %} Then, configure the way you want Poppy to look {% content-ref url="/pages/-M6G2tJ2jejIajohgWlb" %} [Layout settings](/poppy-exit-intent-popup/settings/layout-settings) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/-M6G2wJaCocEaAeHv1yY" %} [Theme settings](/poppy-exit-intent-popup/settings/theme-settings) {% endcontent-ref %} And when it will be triggered {% content-ref url="/pages/-M6G2pklQXlYiU5SQ-ff" %} [Trigger settings](/poppy-exit-intent-popup/settings/trigger-settings) {% endcontent-ref %} # Enabling Customer Accounts Poppy is a **Shopify** **Account Creation Popup.** In order to get the most value out of Poppy, it is recommended that you enable customer accounts for your Store. Customer accounts for your store can be set to one of three options: * **Accounts are disabled** - Customers will only be able to check out as guests. * **Accounts are optional** - Customers will be able to check out with a customer account or as a guest. * **Accounts are required** - Customers will only be able to check out if they have a customer account. In order to get the most value out of Poppy, it is recommended that you set your store to one of either "**Accounts are optional**" or "**Accounts are required**" in your store's Checkout settings. {% hint style="danger" %} If you set your store's checkout settings to **Accounts are disabled** Poppy will not send a welcome email to your customers prompting them to finish setting up their account. {% endhint %} You can set your account settings in your store's Checkout settings screen.

In order for the Abandoned checkout object to exist, your customer needs to either be * Logged into your store with their customer account * Make it far enough through checkout to enter their email address or phone number After doing somersaults and cartwheels and otherwise contorting ourselves across a web of different vendor tools, we decided there had to be a better way, and set out to build something for ourselves. Poppy drives more people to logged in sessions, which... ...reduces friction at checkout \ ...increases conversion rates\ ...grows your email list\ ...increase the amount of abandoned checkouts created \ ...increases the amount of recovered abandoned checkouts ### **Poppy is fast** Page load times have a strong correlation on conversion rates. When designing Poppy, for every option, we asked ourselves "is there a *faster* way to do this?" If a faster option existed, then we made it available to you in the application, and will let you know when it is faster. You will sometimes have the option to choose a slower way if it means better customization, * Shopify is going to begin cracking down (whatever that means) on apps that add bloat to shops. * Slow page load times has a strong correlation with conversion rate. Conversion rate is key to the success of Poppy, so we want to work *with* our store partners (see above) ### **Poppy is simple and sturdy** We believe that you shouldn't have to be some kind of tech geek to be able to sell your products online. It's one of the main reasons we fell in love with the Shopify platform. Because Shopify acts like your brick and mortar store online, and if you can run a brick and mortar store in the physical world, you can run a Shopify store in the digital one. We aim for our products to be usable by anybody, whether its your 5th year running an ecommerce store, or you first week. We obsess over the little details, and go much farther than anybody normal goes in the name of quality. Each button, each piece of copy should be extremely thoughtful and empathetic for *all* users. ### **Poppy is secure** We don't store any information about your customers in our databases. Instead, we pass that information straight over to Shopify and store that information on the "Customer object." On Shopify's databases. We are in the business of creating value for you, and **you are our only customer**. This means * We don't need your customer's data. * We will never sell your customer's data to a 3rd party service. * Our servers can't be hacked and your customer's data exposed (since we don't even have it). # Privacy Policy Last updated July 01, 2019 Thank you for choosing to be part of our community at Ventures & Adventures (“**Company**”, “**we**”, “**us**”, or “**our**”).
