Whether you need to add EAN to your WooCommerce store for better inventory management or for improving search engine rankings, the “EAN and Barcodes for WooCommerce” plugin is here to help. It’s the most comprehensive GTIN plugin on the market. Despite the (EAN) naming, the plugin supports all main product GTINs: EAN-8, UPC, EAN, ISBN, JAN, and custom formats, e.g., MPN. You can set the EAN for each product and optionally display the barcode on both the backend and frontend. For variable products, you can set EAN for each variation individually or a single code for all variations.
Backend
You can edit EAN and display the barcode in the backend.
Variable products
Each variation can have its own EAN. Or you can set EAN for all variations at once.
Display
Choose from multiple frontend positions to display EAN and barcode, for example, single product page, shop pages, or cart.
Variations
EAN and barcode will automatically update when the customer selects different variations on the frontend.
Search
Search products by EAN on both the back and front end.
Orders & Emails
Show EAN and barcode:
- on admin order pages.
- in order items table on pages, for example, “thank you” (i.e. “order received”) page, “view order” page (in “my account”).
- in order items table in emails.
Powerful tools
The plugin has tools that will help you generate, copy, assign and delete EANs in bulk, automatically or periodically.
1D & 2D barcodes
The plugin can generate and display one-dimensional (1D barcodes) or two-dimensional (2D barcodes, QR codes) barcodes.
Print labels with barcodes and EANs.
Product Structured Data
Add EAN to the product structured data, e.g., for Google Search Console.
REST API
The plugin has several WooCommerce REST API options:
- Add EAN to each product and order objects in REST API responses.
- Add barcode (base64) to each product and order objects in REST API responses.
- Search products and orders by EAN.

Looking for EAN/GTIN Post Meta Values to import/export with WP All Import/WP All Export
Tom Anbinder –
Hi Vincent,
The meta key is
_alg_ean.And, if you wish, you can change it in “WooCommerce > Settings > EAN > Advanced > Meta key”.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you’ll have any questions.

I needed a EAN/GTIN plugin that was also compatible with major invoice plugins and EAN and Barcodes for WooCommerce plugin looked like the one I needed. After installing and activating, configuration was easy to setup and my GS1 barcodes are now displayed on product pages and invoices.
WPFactory and Tom have been outstanding on delivering amazing plugins and support. Every plugin purchase on WPFactory that I have done and use on my site have been flawless in delivering the features I need without any hassle in setting up. Easy to use plugins, well-coded, performance focused, and features needed to expand your WooCommerce shop to deliver a greater experience to customers.

Thank you Tom for your seriousness, your responsiveness and your professionalism! Tom was able to meet my needs in terms of EAN code management, since he did not hesitate to update his plugin twice, in order to have additional functionalities to those already developed.
It is with great confidence that I will switch to the pro version. Cheer !

Let me start by saying that Tom is the best seller I have dealt with so far on WooCommerce. The guy is kind, professional, responsive, polite, in fact all the best adjectives you can think of. His attention to details set him apart from many if not all the other Developers or Proprietors on this WooCommerce platform.
I actually upgraded to the Pro Version for the one and only reason of assigning my purchased unique Barcodes which Tom did the start to finish settings for me and have all my products assigned with Barcodes in no time. It is truly amazing just how helpful someone like Tom can be. Tom is very accommodating when it comes to questions or general inquiries as he never got tired of you reaching out to him for as many times as you can. All he cares is about you being happy and satisfied. We are talking of a high quality product whose price is so modest (low) for such excellent customer service.
Imagine me having to copy and paste Barcodes for more than 20,000 products with far more to come. I now have this time consuming laborious task lifted off my shoulders all thanks to this real genius, Tom Anbinder. The Plugin is equipped with much more than Barcodes generator or assignment but so as other timesavers very useful tools or features all for a few dollar annual subscription fee. I’m honestly truly grateful to this fine gentleman.

If you are running Woocommerce Point of Sale (POS) and would like to use the original product manufacturers barcode for scanning/stocktake, then this plugin is the easiest solution. Import your barcodes into the EAN field, and now that Woo POS recognises and reads EAN as a scanning field, you are in business!
Tom Anbinder –
Thank you!

This plugin is great. I managed to fully integrate with Google Product Feed and other services that promote products. It would be awesome to see as a great addition to this plugin a other fields like UPC. I personally sell in Europe, but there are products that come from US and don’t have EAN codes and in this case I would be using an UPC code. Beside this, this plugin works great.
