A GS1 Digital Link is your product's barcode written as a web address. The GTIN is carried in the URL, so the same code does two jobs at once: a checkout reads the identity underneath, and a phone opens the page you control.
New to this? Start with GS1 Digital Link, without the jargon or the straight answer on what Sunrise 2027 actually means.
For brands
Recall-ready codes for grocery suppliers, provenance for drinks, e-labels for wine, warranty capture for homeware — built for the brands retail is asking to go 2D.
Find your use case →For printers & agencies
Print once, your client re-points later. Per-SKU codes at volume via API, scan analytics you can resell, all under your own brand.
