Fulfillment by Amazon uses barcodes to identify and track inventory throughout the fulfillment process. Every item sent to Amazon through FBA requires a barcode.
There are three kinds of barcodes for identifying products:
- Manufacturer barcodes (eligible barcodes include UPC, EAN, JAN, and ISBN)
- Amazon barcodes (such as FNSKU)
- Transparency authenticity code (brand owner only, may be required to help prevent counterfeit)
To Print Amazon barcodes:
- Go to Inventory → Manage All Inventory
- Scan your list of products and find the one you want to print labels for.
- Click Edit on the right of the selected product
- In the dropdown menu, click Print item labels
- Enter how many labels you want to print in the "Number of labels to print" box
- Select the drop-down beside the Paper/Sticker Type and choose your preference
- When you’re finished, click Print Item Labels
You can also print labels during the shipping creation process.
1. Go to Inventory → Shipments
2. From the Shipment drop-down menu, select "Send to Amazon". If there is an existing workflow in progress, click "Start New" to initiate a new workflow.
3. Enter the ASIN/SKU in the search bar or select it from the list.
