# Getting Started

### Step 1 - Purchase Codes

Before you can add UPC Codes to your products, you need to purchase some from the dashboard of the application.

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.
