What is GS1 Sunrise 2027?
GS1 Sunrise 2027 is a global retail deadline. From 1 January 2027, every point-of-sale system worldwide must be able to scan QR codes at checkout alongside traditional EAN and UPC barcodes. Brands can then replace the printed barcode on packaging with a QR code that links directly to product information, expiry dates, and more.
If you sell physical products, this tool helps you convert existing barcode data into a QR code you can test and download today. For Shopify merchants who need dynamic, trackable QR codes on packaging and marketing materials, see HypeQR for Shopify.
