This section of the forum is for discussing the business and finance issues of the t-shirt industry. Which business structure to use (sole proprietor, LLC, S Corp, etc), how to handle billing, where to register your business and get the proper licensing, etc.
I have recently signed up to sell my shirts on amazon and as a part of the item upload process the site asks sor upc and sku information. what in the "hzell" do I need to create this. I figure it would be a good idea to have this to track my inventory but I am sure this is not just some crap you make up off the top of your head. so is there some kind of softwear or what?
wow!! I spoke with GS1, that membership fee is EXPENSIVE! a bit more than i can afford right now. I am still waiting on apparel approval. how are sales going on amazon if you dont mind my asking?
GS1 is the only place to get a UPC. The other places you *can* do it. However, at least with music Cds and companies like CDbaby.com it lists Cdbaby as the parent company and then has the owning record label/band as a subsidiary company.
I'd imagine it'd be the same process with other products.
sku and upc for inventory tracking and sales
