App works well until I actually go to print the labels - then I get security messages saying the next page not secure and I cant progress

Very difficult to print label. Way too many clicks and now latest update has made it even more difficult to print or find out how to print lables using Zebra printer.

I love this app and it would be 5 stars from me if it had just a bit more functionality. I would like to be able to add more product info to the label (why not any product field?) and have more flexibility in the layout of the label design. Really hoping some updates are in the pipeline. Please?

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.

Excellent product but one major floor. Even through the brother printer 810 is listed on the Shopify Hardware store as a supported printer, you are unable to get a compatible size label which works with the printer. Response, do it manually, or buy another printer, a one different to the one sold in the Shopify Hardware Store!!!!! This is almost discrimrty against people in australia and selling the printer is misleading. How hard is it to add another label size? Hope this gets sorted but guessing it will not, as any issues seem to be ignored. Would love to type more but have to go off and start creating all my labels manually so don't have time to type any more.

I want to increase the size of my fonts when using Zebra - 10010038 labels. Is there a way this can be done?

It's been good for printing barcode labels. The options of what to print seems very limited though. Only 8 product detail options and the barcode itself. Given the wealth of data held in product/variant metafields it would be great if this could be referenced too.

This is best free app to generate barcode and print retail labels. But unfortunately, i am not able to add price component in the tag, recently, although it was supported earlier. When creating label template, when price component option is checked , the preview just ignores it and only lists couple of components, and the final print pdf, also indicates same.Looks like a glitch. Hope it will be fixed soon.

My most used and favorite app so far. It's simple but works great to create barcodes and print labels. We print our labels using dymo label printers (and while they aren't the best), this app makes it super easy to print through Shopify.

Not good. I used this app for almost a year. Suddenly none of the codes being generated are unreadable. Moving on.

Is there any way to hide the barcode number? Seems like I can only hide the barcode, but I cannot hide the barcode number. Please help.

eine einfache anwendung die ihren zweck erfüllt aber doch zahlreiche schwächen hat. in verbindung mit shopify und zebra drucker bleibt kaum gestaltungsspielraum. längere bezeichnungen werden bis zur unleserlichkeit verkleinert um in eine zeile zu passen.

My needs are simple for this. It would be nice if there was also a way to also add product metafields to the label. Like for showing a shorter name, or just product code. Otherwise, it seems to be alright.

This app has worked flawlessly for us for almost 4 years now! I only wish there was a little more flexibility in the fields we can include on tags.

I like using this app but I hate the limitation of the label sizes. Especially, when I got a phomemo label printer and can't find the right size label to print. I have a 1.5 x 1 labels on a roll and there are no option for this size or no option for a 2.25x1 option either. I expected when click on other options there would be an option for custom but nope.

I have been using the app for 3 years now and it used to work fine, but now all of the sudden within the past couple of months, the app is automatically updating barcodes which prevents the labels on existing products from scanning. I keep re adding the barcodes and it continues to randomly change them. I'd love to know of a way to prevent this from happening.

We have been using this app for over 4 years and it has worked well for us. However, in the last month it has given us so many glitches. Shopify support can't help on this one. I've spent hours on this! It's randomly reassigning barcodes to products so when we scan an item at checkout it doesn't recognize it. Manufacture barcodes that we added so we could just scan the product aren't recognized anymore. we are having to manually lookup items at checkout or just redo barcodes on 100's of items. We are a small business and don't have time for this. Hopefully this will resolve itself soon because overall it's a great app.

when new stock arrives, would it be possible to directly show which products still need to have labels printed? This is a functionality which we are missing...

it works in the admin to print labels but it would be great if it was available on the pos app as a tile
