Why is Shopify sending extra zeros in UPC to Google Merchant Center?

Shopify Discussion

There is an issue where somehow extra zeros are being populated at the beginning of the UPC/Barcode sent from Shopify to Google Merchant center. Does anyone have any history with this?

Here is a screenshot of the issue:

I have never seen that before, so it must be done by using feed rules or in the data feed.

I recommend you first check your feed rules: https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/7450276?hl=en

Then check if your data feed app is doing something to add leading zeros.
