The basics of this app work well but I cannot understand why there isn't a feature for me to bulk upload the labels that I want to print via CSV. It is so time consuming having to individually select each product and fill in the amount of labels that I want to print. It seems like such an easy solution - its in place for plenty of other Shopify apps

Honestly a life saver, we sell to grocery stores so I just buy my own UPCs online instead of letting the app generate their own. I just wish there was an option to print the barcodes of an entire order instead of having to go into the app every time and hand select what the order calls for, since I sell products on demand per order. I have been trying to get this feature added, please contact me, it would be game changing.

The most basic label printing, not customizable. Can't include all the information needed on the size label we use. Other paid label printing apps are able to put everything we need on the size label we use, so it's possible.

Being free is the only good thing. Why would a barcode app that generates barcodes generate duplicates? That should not be possible. More disappointing though is the print quality from Shopify is terrible. We use a Dymo label printer and these barcode look awful and some wont even scan. If you print the exact same barcode through the Dymo desktop app it's flawless. What is Shopify doing to cause the barcodes to loose such quality? A fix for this would great.

This app should be connected to Stocky, so the labels could be printed directly from there. When printing on the app itself, on the drop down quantities page the Barcodes should show on each product, and that would be obvious!!

My dropdown is no longer available on the product page. There is to much info on the labels I just printed from this app! You can nearly see the price

We are having issues with duplicate barcodes constantly. This is a major issue that is time consuming to fix and costs us money to print new tags all the time after discovering duplicate barcodes. We even use the app to create all of our barcodes and it still generates duplicates on a regular basis.

Nous avons un problème avec cette application qui ne respecte pas les formats d'étiquettes. La moitié des étiquettes sont décalées, c'est vraiment embêtant. Y a t il une solution ? une mise à jour ?

Edited to add: yes that is what I said in my original review ->When using the app to create barcodes for items without a barcode, the system duplicates barcodes for several variants. We now have to recode and reprint. Not sure of the purpose of using a generator if we have to manually search for duplicates. It doesn’t work properly. I have had the issue with several different products.

Obviously I'm grateful to have this, it's indispensable for a brick-and-mortar with 2000 products. But it has a lot of unfortunate quirks that can be inconvenient in that environment. It won't populate fields if they contain certain combinations of punctuation marks. It won't render barcodes if that field has certain placements of space characters in it. Now and then it hangs or crashes when generating new barcodes for labels, and you have to start your print workflow all over again. Conversely, if it suddenly loses all functionality, it still indicates it's working. And you can go mad trying to work around those outages, but you just have to wait for the server to go back up.

This app will no longer create barcodes for me. I have cleared my cache, reloaded my shopify, only selected one item at a time to create barcodes, and done the selection for create barcodes for all products with out barcodes. Nothing seems to work after trying 10x and the robot has offered all these suggestions-which I have done with no avail. Additionally, the app also don't not print multiple varients on my 1x1 labels. I am trying to switch over from lightspeed for my pos system, and lightspeed was able to get all my info onto these 1x1 tags no problem.

l'app improvvisamente non riesce più a creare i codici barre e continuamente indica che mancano. Ci segnala che manca un codice a barre di 1 prodotto, proviamo a crearlo, indica che è stato creato ma poi non lo visualizza nella stampa. Come può essere risolto questo problema?

no customization and needlessly needs to "create barcodes" which doesnt work sometimes and cant make labels for hours.

Hello, Thank you for your excellent Retail Barcode Labels app – I really like the concept and would love to use the app regularly! Unfortunately, I’m unable to purchase any of the label types currently supported in the app. I kindly ask if you could add support for the following label format: Avery Zweckform L4737REV-25 Label size: 63.5 x 29.6 mm Layout: 3 columns × 9 rows (27 labels per A4 sheet) Official template download: https://www.avery-zweckform.com/vorlage-l4737 Since this is the only label type I’m able to use, it would be extremely helpful if it could be added directly in the app – or if you could alternatively provide a compatible layout template. I would be very happy to use your app regularly if this label type were supported. Thank you in advance for your help! Best regards, Sam

The app doesn't sync well at all. I'll generate bar codes, select them for printing, only for them to disappear, show up as duplicates, etc. which interrupts our workflow regularly. In addition, not sure if this is the fault of this app or Shopify in general - we have a lot of barcodes that will disappear or overwrite with a new barcode seemingly randomly, making ringing up items in our onsite location extremely time-consuming. It also really affects our ability to keep track of inventory accurately. Edit: None of the solutions offered by support (which is just AI) work, while the errors persist. Is there any way that we can send tickets to Shopify support, so that these errors can actually be worked on and fixed, instead of just blaming the user every time barcodes disappear, are overwritten, don't work, print out $0.00 etc.? Or are these issues part of the app? This is incredibly frustrating to deal with and makes Shopify borderline useless for on-site retail operations. We are looking into POSes with better support.

Good app but it is diabolical to force users out of child/variation back to parent page in order to then access the barcode app. Bring this to the "more actions..." menu on each individual child. Thank you!

I really like this product. However, one thing has been bothering me. When you select a product, it only shows the variants, not the SKU. This makes it difficult to select the SKU. Hope this can be improved.
