<h4>External Services</h4>
<p>This plugin connects to third-party barcode databases to look up product barcodes by name. <strong>Only the product name is sent as a search query. No personal, customer, or order data is ever transmitted.</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Open Food Facts</strong> — Free, no registration required</p>
<ul>
<li>Website: <a href="https://world.openfoodfacts.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://world.openfoodfacts.org/</a></li>
<li>Used automatically to search for product barcodes by name</li>
<li>Open-source, community-maintained database (primarily food products)</li>
<li>No API key required, no usage limits for reasonable use</li>
<li><a href="https://world.openfoodfacts.org/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a> | <a href="https://world.openfoodfacts.org/terms-of-use" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Use</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>2. UPCitemdb</strong> — Free tier available, registration required for API key</p>
<ul>
<li>Website: <a href="https://www.upcitemdb.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.upcitemdb.com/</a></li>
<li>Used as an <strong>optional</strong> additional barcode search source</li>
<li>Free tier: 100 API requests per day (sufficient for most stores)</li>
<li>Requires free registration at <a href="https://www.upcitemdb.com/wp/docs/main/development/getting-started/" rel="nofollow ugc">upcitemdb.com</a> to obtain an API key</li>
<li>The plugin works without this API key — it is entirely optional but improves search coverage</li>
<li><a href="https://www.upcitemdb.com/wp/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> The plugin is fully functional using only Open Food Facts (no registration needed). Adding the optional UPCitemdb API key expands the barcode database coverage to non-food products.</p>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Go to <strong>WooCommerce <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Barcode Finder</strong></li>
<li>Browse products without barcodes</li>
<li>Click “Search” next to a product to find its barcode</li>
<li>Select the correct result or enter the barcode manually</li>
<li>Or use “Auto-search all” to process everything at once</li>
</ol>
<h4>Tips for Better Results</h4>
<ul>
<li>Ensure product names include the <strong>brand</strong> and <strong>exact product name</strong></li>
<li>Products with English names have higher chances of being found</li>
<li>For local or niche products, manual entry may be required</li>
<li>A USB barcode scanner (~$10-15) can speed up manual entry significantly</li>
</ul>

<p>Flexible EAN for WooCommerce is a powerful and easy-to-use plugin designed to help you manage European Article Numbers (EAN) or barcodes in your WooCommerce store effortlessly. Whether you are selling physical products that require unique barcodes or need to manage inventory more efficiently, this plugin offers all the essential features to seamlessly integrate EAN barcodes into your WooCommerce store.</p>
<p>The plugin can also generate codes to the default GTIN, UPC, EAN or ISBN WooCommerce field.</p>
<h3>Plugin features</h3>
<h3>✅ Add and Display EAN Barcodes</h3>
<p>With Flexible EAN for WooCommerce, you can easily assign EANs to each product and display them on the product page. This feature allows you to manage and show the product barcode directly within your WooCommerce store, ensuring that your customers have access to crucial product information.</p>
<h3>✅ Support for Variations</h3>
<p>If your products have variations, such as different sizes or colors, each variation can have its own unique EAN. This ensures accurate tracking and management of each individual product variant.</p>
<h3>✅ Support for the default GTIN, UPC, EAN or ISBN WooCommerce field</h3>
<p>The plugin is compatible with the new WooCommerce field. The Flexible EAN can generate the barcode for a WooCommerce product, multiple products, or categories. The feature is available after the plugin activation in the product edit screen, and through plugin options.</p>
<h3>✅ Customizable EAN Settings</h3>
<p>The plugin now includes a robust set of customizable settings. This new feature allows you to tailor the appearance and functionality of EANs on your website to meet your specific needs. From choosing where the EAN is displayed to customizing the barcode format, the plugin gives you complete control. You now have more options to customize how EANs are displayed on your product pages. Choose the format, adjust the positioning, and even control the visibility of EANs based on product categories or types.</p>
<h3>✅ The [flexible_ean] Shortcode to Show the Product EAN</h3>
<p>The [flexible_ean] shortcode is a powerful tool, which allows store owners to easily display the EAN (European Article Number) of a product on any WooCommerce product page. This shortcode is highly versatile and can be placed within product descriptions, custom tabs, or any other content area that supports shortcodes.</p>
<p>When you place the [flexible_ean] shortcode on a product page, it automatically retrieves and displays the EAN associated with that specific product. The EAN is a standardized identifier used globally for tracking products in stores, which is especially useful for managing inventory, ensuring product authenticity, and simplifying supply chain operations.</p>
<p>When this shortcode is placed on a WooCommerce product page, it will dynamically display the EAN of the product that the customer is currently viewing. This feature is particularly useful if you want to highlight the EAN in a specific location on the product page, such as next to the price, under the product title, or within the product description.</p>
<h3>✅ The id Parameter in the Shortcode to Place the Specific Product’s EAN in Other Pages or Posts</h3>
<p>In addition to displaying the EAN on product pages, the id parameter within the [flexible_ean] shortcode expands the functionality by allowing you to display the EAN of any specific product on other pages or posts within your WordPress site.</p>
<p>The id parameter is used to specify the unique product ID of the product whose EAN you want to display. This is particularly useful when you need to refer to a product’s EAN outside of its dedicated product page, such as in blog posts, landing pages, or custom pages where you might be discussing specific products. This feature is especially beneficial for creating detailed product guides, comparison pages, or marketing content that requires the EAN to be visible alongside product information.</p>
<h3>✅ Compatibility with Popular WooCommerce Extensions</h3>
<p>Flexible EAN for WooCommerce is fully compatible with other popular WooCommerce extensions, including those for inventory management, product import/export, and PDF invoices. This ensures that your EANs are properly handled across all aspects of your WooCommerce store.</p>
<p>The plugin is also compatible with <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/dropshipping-xml-for-woocommerce/" rel="ugc">Dropshipping XML for WooCommerce</a> – a free plugin to import products to WooCommerce.</p>
<h3>✅ Easy Integration with Product Feeds</h3>
<p>EANs are critical for product listings on various marketplaces like Google Shopping or Amazon. This plugin seamlessly integrates with product feed plugins, ensuring that your EANs are correctly included in all exported data.</p>
<h3>✅ Developer-Friendly</h3>
<p>For developers looking to customize or extend the functionality, the plugin provides a range of hooks and filters, enabling deep integration with your existing WooCommerce setup.</p>
<h3>Support</h3>
