The Barcodes module in Zedonk provides a comprehensive solution for generating, managing, and printing barcodes for your products. This is an essential tool for streamlining your operations, from production and inventory management to sales order processing.
Zedonk supports both EAN-13 and UPC-A retail barcodes:
- UPC-A (Universal Product Code): A 12-digit numerical barcode commonly used in the United States and Canada.
- EAN-13 (European Article Number): A 13-digit numerical barcode widely used internationally, including Europe.
Important: The Barcodes module is an optional add-on.

To begin, you will need to configure your settings and barcode range:
- Barcodes - Settings: Before creating any barcodes, you must first define your Barcode settings. This includes specifying the barcode type and format that best suits your business needs.
- Barcodes - Enter the GS1 Barcode Range: If you use GS1 standards, this guide will walk you through the process of correctly entering your barcode range.
Once your settings are configured, you can generate or import barcodes:
- Barcodes - Data Export/Import: This tool allows you to efficiently upload new barcodes in bulk, which is particularly useful for managing a large product catalogue. This guide also covers exporting your barcode data.
