How should I barcode my products? – Deliverr Help Center

Deliverr requires that all products--every sellable unit--are barcoded. If your products do not already have barcodes on them, Deliverr will provide labels that you can use to print and adhere to your products. You do not have to use the labels provided as long as your products have the right scannable barcode on them as defined by you (see steps below).

For each SKU you plan to send to Deliverr, you will be asked to select a barcode, and once selected, the barcode value cannot change.

Currently, Deliverr accepts three types of barcodes:

UPC - universal product code
FNSKU - Amazon barcode
DSKU - Deliverr barcode

Upon inbounding the product for the first time, you must select which barcode type and barcode value the products will be labeled. Once you complete this first shipping plan for the product, you will not be able to go back and change the barcode type or barcode value for the included products.

How/Where to Apply Barcode Labels

Barcodes must be easily scannable and securely adhered to every sellable unit. Poorly attached barcodes (photo 1) or barcodes folded over edges (photo 3) will require relabeling and incur associated fees.

BAD Photo 1 - This unit should be bagged and then barcoded as in photo 2.

GOOD Photo 2 - Properly bagged and barcoded securely adhered.

BAD Photo 3 - This barcode will not be scannable folded over the edge.

GOOD Photo 4 - Barcode is easily scannable adhered to a flat surface.

Covering Up ALL Other Visible Barcodes

Other than the barcode you have selected for the product within Deliverr, all other visible barcodes MUST be removed or completed covered. This is extremely important to prevent mis-scans and mis-picks during fulfillment.

Products shipped in case packs: case packs often have their own barcodes on the outside of the box. These must be covered or removed. Even if the barcode is the same barcode you have selected for the sellable unit, it must not appear on the outside of the case pack it is shipped in. These must be removed or covered up. Otherwise, a picker may scan that barcode and pick the entire case pack for an order meant for just one sellable unit. This is extremely important. See example below.

Photo 5 - Let's assume each stack of blue cups is a sellable unit, and the UPC is the barcode. Therefore, there are 4 sellable units within this case pack.

Photo 6 - The outside of the case pack has a scannable barcode.

Photo 7 - This barcode must be covered or removed.
