Understanding Multipacks; trust the GTIN, not the Image

⚠️ Product images on Qogita are for representation only.

⚠️ Buyers should not assume multipack bundling unless the product is clearly identified as a manufacturer multipack with its own unique GTIN (Global Trade Item Number — the barcode number that identifies a product)

⚠️ Always double check the GTIN before ordering a product. The GTIN is the source of truth identifier you should go by when purchasing a product.

If the GTIN shows a single unit, but the image and/or description show a multipack bundle, you will receive a single item.

Why are Qogita pictures sometimes incorrect?

Qogita and other platforms, including EAN checkers, often pull product images and descriptions from Amazon.

However, sometimes Amazon sellers bundle multiple units of a single-item GTIN into one listing to make that listing more appealing. As a result, the Amazon image and description data pulled for a single-item GTIN can show a picture of a bundled multipack.

What does Qogita recommend?

We always recommend to check the GTIN. If the GTIN is clearly a manufacturer multipack, you can assume it will contain multiple units. If it isn't, then that would be the supplier at fault.

A manufacturer multipack is a pre-packaged set where the manufacturer combines multiple individual units into one pack and assigns it a unique GTIN (Global Trade Item Number). This multipack is treated as a single unit of a product.

If its not clearly a manufactured multipack, expect that the price is for one unit only and you should expect to receive one unit only.

We recommend using a GTIN scanner, such as Scanbot.io, to check the GTIN: https://scanbot.io/lookup-tool/.
