Multiple products with identical EAN

[Olaf2]

Hi all,

Is it possible to have multiple products in your store with an identical EAN barcode?

As an example: we sell touch-up paint for bicycles and all 6 products in the screenshot below are the exact same product. The reason we have this setup is that we want customers to visually identify and confirm their bike before making the purchase, as it reduces the return rate.

Thanks.

Hi Olaf,

As far as I'm aware at least, the only distinguishing field between items on Shopify is the SKU. Just tested it on my store and was able to make multiple different identical products, with the same GTIN for example, just with different SKU's.

So yes, you should be able to do that, just ensure they all have separate SKU's.

Hope that helps.
