Retail Barcode Labels
The reviews for this Shopify App are mixed, with both positive and negative feedback from users. Positive aspects include the app's ability to generate barcodes for specific or all products, easy modification of label templates, compatibility with thermal printers like Rollo, and the fact that it's free. Users appreciate the convenience of assigning barcode SKU numbers and printing tags without much manual work. However, negative feedback revolves around recent font changes, issues with label printing, lack of customization options for labels, and difficulties in managing large purchase orders. Some users also expressed frustration with the default setting for printing labels and the lack of support for certain functionalities like editing price tags and handling duplicate barcodes.

The recent Retail Barcode Labels update removed our ability to print SKU on Avery 5167 labels. We manufacture hundreds of visually similar products. Printing only barcode and price substantially increases the likelihood of mislabeling inventory. We'd like this functionality restored or our store opted out of the new template restrictions.
Thank you for laying this out so clearly. We're passing this along to the team that owns the app, and specific details like the label format and why the SKU matters for your workflow make that report much stronger. If you'd like to go through your current setup and look at options in the meantime like choosing another label size and customizing margins to allow to print on the Avery 5167), our support team is available at help.shopify.com/support.
Worked better than expected. The reviews, cautions, and compatibility notes made me concerned. However, The ability to filter and select specific products or ANY products to generate barcodes worked well. I didn't have any to start with so overwriting wasn't an issue. The ability to select what will print on each barcode based on the size of the label was helpful and easy to modify and test different templates. Definitely test and learn the character length of product titles, SKUs, and variants for your label size. The app does a decent job at resizing the text to fit the best it can up to a certain point. And I have a Rollo printer that I typically use for 4x6 shipping labels. We purchased 2x1 labels, used the Zebra settings in the app, selected the products we needed barcodes for, and generated a PDF. I printed the PDF using my Rollo thermal printer and they were perfectly aligned every time. I'm glad I didn't need to buy a new label maker. My only wish is that I could change the font (because I'm a designer and we just like to do that). I love that the app is free and ended up being exactly what I needed. We used the labels on the back of custom tags for our in-store merchandise to be sold using the Shopify POS system.
Even though I'm using the same small Dymo template, all of a sudden my barcodes are longer and a different font. This is a major problem as it changes the whole layout of our product. How can I get my normal template back, and how can I speak to someone to help - no links or helpdesk available.
Thank you so much for sharing this feedback! I understand the recent changes to font may not be ideal and rest assured I have relayed that feedback to our development team. For the layout issue, please reach out to our Retail support team via help.shopify.com with the details and we can investigate further for you. - Natasha, Shopify Support
I love this app, however, I am extremely displeased about the current font change. Please change it back ASAP or allow us to choose our own font. I absolutely hate that now all my labels do not match and I am literally given no choice in the matter. Please change it back or allow us to choose our own font STAT.
Hi there and thank you so much for sharing this feedback! I understand changes to font may not be ideal and rest assured I have relayed that feedback to our development team - thanks for flagging and for the suggestion of being able to choose your own! If you have encountered a specific technical issue due that change, not just a display issue, please do feel free to reach out to our Retail support team via help.shopify.com and we can investigate further for you as well. - Natasha, Shopify Support
