2027 is a sunrise date, meaning retailers are expected to have updated their checkouts to support scanning the 2D Barcodes.

Industry has set a date to make the transition to accepting 2D barcodes at point-of-sale (POS) or point-of-care (POC) — referred to as Sunrise 2027. By the end of 2027, retailers would need to ensure their POS systems are equipped with scanners capable of reading both traditional barcodes and 2D barcodes. The shift has already begun with the new technology being tested in 48 countries across the world, representing 88% of the world’s GDP.

I sell GTINs in multiple countries that are already trialing 2D barcodes.
