Signing up, logging in and setting your prefix
1. Register to use Barcode Manager
First time users
If you have not used Barcode Manager before please contact the GS1 Ireland Helpdesk for advice on getting started. This is particularly important for existing GS1 members who already have barcoded product on the market.
We will help and advise you on how to prepare your existing product information (with the corresponding barcode numbers) for upload into Barcode Manager. It is important to ensure that ALL existing barcodes are uploaded prior to allocating any new barcode numbers. This is to prevent any duplication of numbers.
