GTIN
In common parlance, many people know the GTIN as a barcode, but technically the GTIN is the number below the barcode symbol itself, and can therefore also be used for other technologies such as 2D barcodes and RFID tags.

Here you’ll find solutions to help your business get started with barcodes, GLN numbers, and data exchange. Whether you need to sell products, send invoices, or share product data, we’ll guide you to the right place to start.
With a GLN, you can uniquely and unambiguously identify physical, functional, legal, or digital entities. This includes a sender, recipient, buyer, seller, supplier, manufacturer, delivery location, payment location, store, internal department, etc.
GLN is used to identify WHO and WHERE in various trade relationships:
WHO: Legal and functional units
WHERE: Physical and digital locations
A GLN is a unique location number for your business, your addresses, or your branches. Among other things, the number is used in e-commerce to identify the sender, recipient, and delivery locations in orders and invoices.
