Valid EAN, but Duplicated

    In the Product Data > Variable product > Inventory I have designated individual SKU and EAN for each product. The SKU is 8 numbers and the EAN is 13 numbers. For all products I get the error message that the EAN is Duplicated.

    This probably has to do with the fact that for every product there are 4 variants based on weight. The SKUs gets amended with a -1 to -4 for for each weight. For example to 10005575-1, 10005575-2, etc.

    However, the EAN is a 13 digit nr with an associated barcode, so I can’t add any digits. Plus, I don’t want to use another barcode for each weight. How can I to reuse the EAN for the different weights for each product?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hello Simon,

    I hope you are well and thank you for your question.

    Can you check the following option “Check if unique” is not activated?

    Let me know if the problem is solved.

    Thanks for your time,

    Thanks, yes, that took care of the error message. Not sure if that will suffice for Google Shopping, but perhaps the only way is to use different EAN for all weights.

    Hello Simon,

    Maybe, I think on Google Shopping, the EAN number must be unique.
