What is the difference between a UPC code and and ISBN number and how do I buy them so they fit together?

What is the difference between a UPC code and and ISBN number and how do I buy them so they fit together?

I am starting my own publishing company and am putting together a book. I know I need both UPC and ISBN numbers, but they seem to be from different places and I was wondering how they fit together? Can I buy the UPC and the ISBN seperately and will that be okay? I thought the UPC was a computer translation of the ISBN

    The UPC is for purposes of selling at a store

    A ISBN number is for an individual specific title.

    UPC means Uniform Product Code
    ISBN means International Standard Book Number
