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

We've been flatly shocked at how empty the entire Point of Sale experience has been, and this app just personifies the entire journey.

Very glitchy. When adding products it keeps previous printed products in gthe cue so you will have to restart app or manually go to each and set print to 0 so as to not duplicate barcode printing

I’ve encountered with the Google Merchant Center integration on my Shopify store. Specifically, the GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) for my products is not syncing properly with Google Merchant Center, which has led to limited product performance and visibility.

This is a great app if you only need to print barcodes once as it will not allow a second print, even if you uninstall, reinstall, and create new codes for your products. I struggled with it for far too long before removing.

Hi, I need to change the location of the € symbol that appears in the price and give it a little more space so that it doesn't look so close together. Could you help me?

It's just plain awful. Printing labels should be a one click and done process. This is very far away from being a functional product for brick and mortar shops. Shopify is a world class e-commerce platform. We've been flatly shocked at how empty the entire Point of Sale experience has been, and this app just personifies the entire journey. Lacks basic functionality. When we onboarded with Shopify - it never occurred to us that we should ask such absurd questions like - "does your platform have a way to print labels for products that is in keeping with the fact that we live in the year 2024?" Should have asked. Here we are after a 3-month migration to Shopify - wishing we could go back in time and know better.

Almost there. Too many steps to print labels. Why do I need to "create barcodes" before printing labels? Might as well create the barcodes as I print labels at the same time. Need product names on jewelry tags and all product names on other tags are too short.

As a basic barcode app, this seems to do the trick. But I want to integrate with Google Merchant Center and it needs GTIN (12 character) and there isn't an option for it.

Ürün başlığında Türkçe karakterler (ç, ğ, ı, İ, ö, ş, ü) kullandığımda baskı yapınca başlık gözükmüyor. Bu durum, Türkçe karakter içeren ürün başlıklarının düzgün bir şekilde yazdırılamamasına neden oluyor.

This app is an absolute joke. It has 0 support for Cyrillic alphabets, so it becomes absolutely unusable for our shop in Bulgaria. We’ve raised this to Shopify support several time over 2 YEARS, and still there is no support. Even though we are quite fond of Shopify to an extent, it often feels like the company is sloppy and not committed to maintaining and fixing their older apps.

L'app non è male ma va migliorata nella parte custom. Ad esempio decidere la dimensione dei caratteri oppure la possibilità di inserire l'immagine del prodotto o della variante. Da migliorare,

Easy app. But I just can not put an extra line (product name etc) on one side of my jewelry labels, which is so annoying!! I have to scan the label before i can stick it on my jewelry. Double the work, impossible to do with so many products!! I use this app for 2 years and that little detail pushes me to take another app!!! I DESPARTLY NEED AN EXTRA LINE to see the name of the product, Please help me out!!!
