# EAN Barcode Generator: Free vs Pro Versions Compared

In [EAN for WooCommerce](https://wpfactory.com/item/ean-barcodes-woocommerce/), everything to do with storing and using product codes is free: adding EAN, UPC, ISBN or GTIN codes, showing and searching them, Google structured data, bulk tools, the REST API and CSV import and export. Pro adds barcode images: linear barcodes, 2D barcodes (such as QR codes), printing barcode labels to PDF, and the Extra Fields section.

## What each version includes

| Feature | Free | Pro |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Add and save a product code (EAN, UPC, ISBN, GTIN) on products and variations | Yes | Yes |
| Show the code on the storefront and search products by it | Yes | Yes |
| Product structured data (GTIN for Google), on by default | Yes | Yes |
| Product and order tools (generate, assign, bulk actions) | Yes | Yes |
| REST API options | Yes | Yes |
| CSV import and export of codes | Yes | Yes |
| Barcodes (linear barcode images) | No | Yes |
| 2D Barcodes (for example QR codes) | No | Yes |
| Print barcodes to PDF | No | Yes |
| Extra Fields section | No | Yes |

**Note:** in the free version the enable checkbox of the Barcodes, 2D Barcodes, Print barcodes to PDF and Extra Fields sections is greyed out. That is the Pro boundary, not a bug.
