Where Is Barcode Number on Myntra Product and How to Find It Easily

ROI HUNT Editorial Team · March 2026 · 6 min read

The barcode number on a Myntra product is usually on the product tag attached to the item, the outer packaging label, or the invoice slip inside the parcel. Some products may have a QR code instead of a standard barcode. This guide shows you exactly where to look and what to do if you cannot find it.

Quick Answer

On most Myntra products, the barcode number is printed on the product tag (the small card or sticker attached to the item). If that is missing, check the outer poly bag label or the invoice slip inside the parcel. The number below the barcode lines is your barcode number. For a complete guide on finding and using the barcode, see the Myntra barcode number guide.

Where to Find Barcode on a Myntra Product

There are three main places to look. Check them in this order — it saves time.

On the Product Tag

This is the most reliable place. For clothing, the barcode is usually on the main hanging tag or a smaller secondary tag. For footwear, check the tag inside the shoe box or the label on the sole. For accessories and bags, look at the tag attached to the item with a string or sticker.

The barcode appears as a set of black vertical lines with a number printed just below them. That number below the lines is the barcode number.

On the Outer Packaging Label

The outer plastic poly bag or shipping box has a label with order details. This label usually has a barcode too, but this is mostly the shipping barcode — it identifies your shipment, not the product itself. It can still be useful if the product tag is missing.

Do not throw away the outer packaging before checking this label if you think the product barcode might be missing.

On the Invoice Slip Inside the Parcel

Myntra usually includes an invoice or packing slip inside the bag. This slip contains order details and sometimes the product code or barcode. If the product tag is torn or missing, the invoice can help identify the product during return or exchange.

Keep the invoice until you are sure you do not need to return or exchange the item.

Barcode vs Product Code on Myntra

These two are often confused, but they are not the same thing.

The barcode number is the number printed below the barcode lines. It is a machine-readable identifier tied to a specific product unit. Scan it with a barcode scanner or Google Lens and it returns product information.

The product code (also called style ID or SKU) is a separate alphanumeric code assigned by Myntra or the brand. It identifies the style and variant but is used differently from the barcode. On some tags you will find both. On others, only one. For more on this, the find barcode on Myntra product page explains both in detail.

How to Scan the Barcode Number

You do not need a special device. Your phone camera is enough.

Google Lens

Open Google Lens, point at the barcode, and it will identify the product. Works even if the barcode is slightly faded. Available on Android and iOS.

Barcode Scanner App

Free apps like QR & Barcode Scanner on Android or iOS work well. Open the app, point at the barcode, and the number is decoded instantly.

Phone Camera

Some phone cameras (like iPhone in iOS 16+) can scan QR codes and barcodes directly. Open the camera app and point it at the barcode.

What to Do if Barcode Is Missing or Not Scanning

Before panicking, try these steps one by one:

1

Check all tags again

Sometimes there are two or three tags on the item. The barcode may be on a smaller secondary tag.

2

Check the outer packet

The poly bag label often has a barcode. It may not be the product barcode but can help with returns.

3

Check the invoice

The invoice slip inside usually has the product name and code. This can serve as proof of purchase for returns.

4

Try better lighting

Barcodes are hard to scan in dim light. Take the product near a window or under a bright lamp and try again.

5

Clean your camera lens

A smudged lens blurs the barcode. Wipe the lens with a soft cloth and try scanning again.

6

Use Google Lens

Google Lens is better at reading damaged or faded barcodes than most scanner apps. If other tools fail, try this.

7

Note the product code from invoice

If nothing works, the product code on the invoice or the order details in the Myntra app can usually identify your product for return or exchange purposes.

Why Barcode Matters for Return and Exchange

When you initiate a return on Myntra, the delivery agent may scan the barcode on the product before picking it up. This scan confirms that the item being returned matches the order. It is a simple verification step that protects both the buyer and the seller.

For sellers, barcode integrity is especially important. If the barcode is missing, torn, or scanned incorrectly during a return, it can cause reconciliation issues and delay refunds or replacements.

Even if you are a buyer, it is good practice to not remove or damage the product tag — including the barcode — until you are sure you want to keep the item. Myntra's return window is typically 14 to 30 days depending on the category.

Common Barcode Problems and Quick Fixes

Here are real problems buyers and sellers face, with practical fixes for each.

Barcode sticker is torn or peeled

Fix: Check if the number is still readable below the torn part. If yes, enter it manually. If not, use the product code on the invoice for returns.

Barcode is blurred or printed poorly

Fix: Try scanning in very bright light at different angles. Google Lens handles blurred barcodes better than regular scanner apps.

Multiple barcodes on one packet

Fix: The barcode on the product tag is the product barcode. The barcode on the outer packaging is the shipping barcode. Use the product tag barcode for product identification.

Tag is completely missing

Fix: Check the invoice slip for the product code and order details. For returns, use the order ID in the Myntra app — you usually do not need the barcode to initiate a return.

QR code not opening properly

Fix: Try Google Lens instead of a barcode app. Make sure your phone camera is focused and the QR code is fully visible in the frame without shadows.

Wrong barcode on wrong size or colour

Fix: This is a seller error. If you received the wrong item, raise a return request citing "wrong item received." Do not scan or remove any tags as you will need to return the item.
