GS1 Standards
If you are printing GS1 barcode coupons and need to ensure that they are constructed correctly, you need GS1 verification. The barcodes use GS1 DataBar Expanded symbology for retailers to encode offers, but to avoid costly errors, you must meet GS1 standards. Webscan verification technology can determine the coupon code, offer code, purchase required code and expiry date, amongst other variables in the data format check.
