We currently use the European Standard barcode EAN-13 (13-digit barcode) on our printed packaging around 300 products and would prefer not to change artwork or over label barcodes. Reading the app support documentation, I need to enter the barcode in the SKU field of the item, however this field is restricted to the 12-digit UPC-A code. I was looking to us the Socket CHS 7Ci, most scanners have a conversion to take a 13-digit barcode to 12 digit which would help overcome the problem, but the socket doesn't seem to allow this (usuually there is a series of barcodes to scan to set up the scanner).&nbsp;</SPAN></P> <P style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;"><SPAN style="font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; color: #636466;">&nbsp;</SPAN></P> <P style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;"><SPAN style="font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; color: #636466;">Anybody know how we can get our EAN13 barcodes to work with Square?</SPAN></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <H1 id="7Ci">&nbsp;</H1> Sun, 21 Sep 2025 12:27:31 GMT https://community.squareup.com/t5/Hardware-Setup-Troubleshooting/Barcodes-EAN-13/m-p/63402#M6839 doc_choc 2025-09-21T12:27:31Z https://community.squareup.com/t5/Hardware-Setup-Troubleshooting/Barcodes-EAN-13/m-p/63407#M6840 <P>I pulled this EAN barcode off the internet from a Google search.</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="EAN-13.png" style="width: 200px;"><img src="https://community.squareup.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1707i05B7A56CB5FA0298/image-size/small?v=v2&amp;px=200" role="button" title="EAN-13.png" alt="EAN-13.png" /></span></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Added the number to one of my items and scanned it with the Socket CHS 7C1 scanner and it worked fine. &nbsp; Square will accept just about anything I can created 2 digit barcodes.</P> Thu, 21 Dec 2017 15:29:27 GMT https://community.squareup.com/t5/Hardware-Setup-Troubleshooting/Barcodes-EAN-13/m-p/63407#M6840 RHatch 2017-12-21T15:29:27Z
