A barcode is a visual representation of data that can be read by machines, typically used to identify and track products in retail and inventory systems. It encodes a unique number linked to product information.
UPC (Universal Product Code) is a 12-digit barcode used mainly in the United States and Canada. It’s one of the most widely recognized barcode formats for retail products.
EAN (European Article Number) is a 13-digit barcode used internationally outside of North America. It is functionally similar to UPC but includes an extra digit for country identification.
The main difference is length: UPC has 12 digits and is used in the US/Canada, while EAN has 13 digits and is used globally. Both are accepted by most retailers worldwide.
