How to Get a Myntra Barcode — Complete Guide for Sellers and Buyers
For sellers: Get an EAN barcode from GS1 India (starts with 890) or an authorized barcode provider. Each size and colour variant needs a unique barcode before you can list on Myntra.

How to Get a Myntra Barcode — Seller Guide
If you sell on Myntra, every product variant — every size, every colour — must have a unique barcode before Myntra approves your listing. Here is exactly how to get one.
1Understand What Barcode Type Myntra Accepts
| Barcode Type | Format | Accepted on Myntra |
|---|---|---|
| EAN-13 | 13-digit number | Yes — most common |
| UPC-A | 12-digit number | Yes |
| GTIN | Global Trade Item Number | Yes |
| QR Code | Square pattern | Sometimes alongside barcode |
| Self-generated random code | Any | No — rejected |
Key Rule: Each size and colour variant must have its own unique barcode. You cannot use the same barcode for a Medium and a Large. Myntra will reject your dispatch if variants share barcodes.
2Get Your Barcode From an Authorized Source
Option A — GS1 India (Most Trusted)
GS1 India is the only officially authorized barcode provider in India. Indian barcodes from GS1 start with 890.
- · Website: gs1india.org
- · Cost: Varies by number of barcodes needed
- · Time: 3 to 7 business days
- · Best for: Brands selling across multiple platforms
Option B — Authorized Barcode Resellers
Several authorized resellers provide GS1-compatible EAN barcodes at lower cost for small sellers.
- · Search: buy EAN barcode India on Google
- · Cost: ₹500 to ₹2,000 for a set

3Apply the Barcode Label Correctly
- Print at minimum 300 DPI — sharp black on white background
- Place on outer polybag or box on a flat clean surface
- Never place on folds, seams, curves, or transparent areas
- Each label must show EAN number, size, colour, and MRP
- Do not cover barcode with tape, stickers, or other labels
- Test scan every new batch before bulk dispatch
- Never reuse a barcode from a different product or variant

Warning
Wrong barcode entry = listing rejection. Mismatched barcode at dispatch = order cancellation. Always double-check EAN number matches the physical label exactly.

How to Get a Myntra Barcode — Buyer Guide
You Already Have It — Here Is Where to Find It
If you ordered from Myntra, you do not need to get a barcode. It is already on your package. Check these four locations in order — most people find it in under 30 seconds.
Product Tag or Price Tag
The paper or plastic tag attached directly to the item. Look for black vertical lines with a number printed below. That number is your barcode. May be labelled EAN or UPC.
Outer Polybag or Box Label
The label on the outside of your delivery bag or box. Contains the same barcode that was scanned at the Myntra warehouse during packing.
Invoice Slip Inside the Packet
Open the packet and find the packing slip. The barcode is printed next to the product name, size, and style code. Most reliable backup if the product tag barcode is damaged.
Myntra App — Order Details
Open Myntra app → Orders → Select your order. Some orders show a code in the tracking section. Not always available but worth checking last.
