The data that is usually stored on a barcode is :
Where the product has come from
Who Manufactured the product
Date Purchased
Additional Note: it depends on the barcode. Some of the 2 dimensional bar codes are free text formatted so anything can appear as the content. QR Bar codes, for example, use a URL reference to a web site for content. PDF417 and other bar codes have text in them - some states use them on the back of the driver's license to contain the content of the license.

The merchant adds a price ($0.89). He may add a sale incentive (quantity 4 for $2.99) or any other data he wishes.
