PrestaShop is one of the most widespread open-source e-commerce solutions in Spain and Europe. It includes native barcode support, so adding your EAN-13 codes is very easy and helps you export your catalogue to comparison sites and marketplaces.
Where do you enter the EAN in PrestaShop?
On each product's page, within the Combinations tab (or in the product tab if you don't use combinations), you'll find the EAN-13 or JAN and UPC fields. There you enter your 13-digit code. If you work with combinations (sizes, colours), each combination has its own EAN.
What is it for in PrestaShop?
- Feeds and comparison sites: modules like Google Shopping, Idealo or marketplace connectors use the EAN to identify the product. Without it, many products are rejected.
- Marketplace synchronisation: Amazon, eBay or Carrefour require the GTIN to create or match listings.
- Inventory: it lets you manage stock with barcode scanners.
Best practices
Assign a unique EAN per reference and combination, don't repeat codes and keep a record of which number corresponds to each product. This avoids feed rejections and inventory confusion.
