⚠️ Before you cancel, please be aware
Ending your membership means you’ll no longer be able to use your GS1 UK membership benefits, including your GTINs. This could affect your ability to trade with partners and list products online.
Here are some key benefits you will lose
🌍 Global trade: Retailers such as Tesco, John Lewis, and Sainsbury’s require GS1 membership to uniquely identify and barcode products.
🛒 Marketplaces: Amazon, Temu, Fruugo, OnBuy, Bol.com, Walmart and others require GTINs. Without them, your products may be delisted, and new listings rejected.
🔍 Visibility: Adding a GTIN to Google Shopping ads typically leads to more impressions and higher conversions, according to Google Merchant Center and Google Search Central.
⚖️ Regulatory compliance: GS1 barcodes are vital for meeting requirements across retail, healthcare, and construction.
✅ Authenticity: GS1 is the only source of genuine, authorised barcodes linked to your organisation and searchable on the global registry.
☎️ Support: Our UK-based support team is available by phone and online.
🛠️ Tools: Access to the GS1 UK portal for managing numbers and generating barcodes.
🤝 Partners: Access to our trusted GS1 UK partners who can help you achieve your business goals.
