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

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.

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 ?

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.

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!

Everything has worked fine until now, but for about a week the barcode generation page has not been updating to the “barcodes created” state. This makes the app harder and slower to use. What could be causing this bug?

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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!!!
