SEO, AdWords, affiliates, advertising, and promotions
Hi,
I am selling brand backpacks, brands like - Adidas, Nike, Calvin Klein, Fila and many more. I will buy the bags from Shopee (an online marketplace) and ship to my customer once I sell them on my store. The problem is I don't have GTIN to use for my Google shopping ads. My question is, can I buy GTIN from GS1 for a branded bag? For example, an adidas bag? The bag probably already have gtin, but I am not sure the seller will reply and give me the GTIN number, even though I will try to ask them as well. My question is can I buy GTIN number from GS1 for the branded bags?
Thanks
You can only buy official GS1 barcodes, if you are the manufacturer. If you self assign barcodes, you are in violation of Google's policies.
As indicated by @الساعدي you will have to contact the seller, or view the product packaging.
Be very careful with your business model, Google requires products listed to be in stock, reference: https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/6150127#:~:text=Unavailable%20promotions
Using a marketplace as your source of stock, is very unreliable, and I would not be surprised if you have a suspension.
