Earrings by Emma review for Retail Barcode Labels

Jan. 2, 2019

It seems like Shopify's trying their best to make improvements, but this app is not very helpful yet. Pro... #1 I can now use it in Chrome on my PC! Woo hoo! Before in the old app you could only use it on a PC. I have an iPad, but there's no way to hook the printer up to an iPad. Here are my issues with it... #1 - I use the 30332 label and that paper size is not available for me when I go to actually print. #2 - Instead of auto reducing the size of the product title text, it just cuts it off which is frustrating. #3 - Creating Barcodes doesn't allow me to pick the size of the barcode from what I can tell in the directions. I'm too afraid to try it otherwise as we have over a thousand variants. #4 - It's great to save time at the checkout with barcodes, but it sure would be nice to have some sort of inventory update process. EX: Enter Inventory Mode... Scan a label and update how many you have on stock. #5 - Not sure how to fix this one, but if I just want to quickly print a few of one variant it's click intensive. Example: 1, Select All Products, type "product name" in search, select product, select more actions, select print barcode labels, find desired variant and enter 3 barcode labels to print, click inside and change the other 5-16 variants to 0, select print, select send to printer, select print again if your print options are correct. Total time: 53 seconds going as fast as I can.... I have to wait for many screens to load. Total Clicks: 10 including one click as typing in the product name. Dymo Software: 25 seconds and 6 clicks... clicks including typing the actual product name out. Conclusion... if the app assigns the correct style of barcode for the dymo printer, then I think creating barcodes for all your products would be awesome with this app. (The old app wouldn't assign the correct style of barcode for me to use the small LW barcodes) I won't be using it unfortunately to print my barcodes though until they get it to work with the 30332 paper size and work with less clicks. BTW... I'd be happy to be a tester if you guys need a client to test things out.
