Why connect GS1
- GTINs are right the first time. They come from the registry that issued them, so there are no typing mistakes or wrong check digits.
- Better passport links. A variant with a valid GTIN gets a GS1 Digital Link, the standard link format for product passports. See Links and QR codes.
- A fast start. Your whole registered range becomes a product list in LUXIMA, grouped into styles with their sizes and colours.
- A reliable key for other sources. LUXIMA matches products across sources by GTIN. With GTINs from GS1 in place, data from your spreadsheet, ERP or website lands on the right product.
What you need
- The Growth or Enterprise plan.
- A GS1 Ireland Barcode Manager login: your username and your API password.
- The Owner or Admin role in LUXIMA.
