To sell Gooten products on Amazon, you'll need a UPC/GTIN exception.
Amazon requires you to provide the UPC or GTIN codes for each product which is a common requirement for a traditional retail business. However, the products created on our platform are all custom and don't come with UPCs or barcodes. As a result, you'll need to request a UPC/GTIN exception from Amazon.
There are two steps you should take to sell Gooten products on Amazon:
1. Register Your Brand with Amazon (suggested)
- Check out the details here.
- You'll need to register your brand in each global region where you want to sell products.
