You are generating EAN-8 codes, and EAN-8 consists of a 3-digit country prefix, 4-digit “seed” (i.e. product ID), and the last digit is a checksum digit. Now, as you’ve crossed 10000 product IDs recently, your EANs ran out of “free space” (as your product ID has 5 digits now, not 4 as we need it in the EAN-8 case). * Now regarding the solution – coincidentally we had exactly the same question from one of our [other customers](https://wpfactory.com/item/ean-for-woocommerce/#discussion-354321) recently, and we’ve added a new option for him to our plugin – “Country prefix length”. It allows using a 2-digit country prefix instead of a 3-digit. This new option is currently in our development version – we are going to release it to the public a bit later today. I will get back to you as soon as it’s released. * Thread Starter [joeygr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joeygr/) * (@joeygr) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/variarions-get-all-same-dan-code/#post-15386267) * Many thefor this Quick respons friend. I wait for your message then. * Plugin Author [Algoritmika](https://wordpress.org/support/users/algoritmika/) * (@algoritmika) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/variarions-get-all-same-dan-code/#post-15388171) * Hi again, [@joeygr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joeygr/), * As promised, we’ve just released a new plugin version (v3.3.0), where I’ve added new “Country prefix length” option to “WooCommerce > Settings > EAN > Tools > Product Tools > Generate”. Set it to `2`. Please note that this will work only for the EAN-8 type – other types will always use `3`. Give it a try and let me know what you think. * One note though – we will get the same problem when you will reach 100000 products. The most obvious solution to this is to use EAN-13 instead of EAN-8. Even though theoretically there is a limit of products in EAN-13 as well, in reality, there is no way any site will have so many products. * Thread Starter [joeygr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joeygr/) * (@joeygr) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/variarions-get-all-same-dan-code/#post-15388356) * dear friend * many many thanks for the good help! It works now perfect again. I gonna check if ean 13 fits on my labels. * All works now! - This reply was modified 4 years, 3 months ago by [joeygr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joeygr/). * Plugin Author [Algoritmika](https://wordpress.org/support/users/algoritmika/) * (@algoritmika) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/variarions-get-all-same-dan-code/#post-15388389) * [@joeygr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joeygr/), * Happy to hear it’s solved 🙂 Please let me know if you need anything else. * And if you like the plugin, please consider [leaving me a rating](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ean-for-woocommerce/reviews/).
