No custom label sizes. Example no roll of 1.5" x 1" labels
Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! I can confirm that we can only support the barcode label sizes outlined in this resource -https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/sell-in-person/hardware/barcode-printer/retail-barcode-labels#recommended-print-settings-for-barcode-labels - and we do not have a 1.5" x 1" label option. I have submitted this feedback to our development team and thanks for bringing it to our attention! There are some third party apps available in the App Store which may offer this option. If you wish to continue with this app and are unsure which label size will fit your current printer, please do feel free to reach out to our Retail support team via https://shopify.link/vRn and we can take a look. Thanks so much! - Natasha, Shopify Support

Edited to add: yes that is what I said in my original review ->When using the app to create barcodes for items without a barcode, the system duplicates barcodes for several variants. We now have to recode and reprint. Not sure of the purpose of using a generator if we have to manually search for duplicates. It doesn’t work properly. I have had the issue with several different products.
Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing information about this issue! When generating barcodes in the Retail Barcode Labels app you have several options to choose from; to create barcodes for all or specific products, to generate barcodes only for products without barcodes, or to replace existing barcodes with new ones. To avoid duplicates, we would advise making sure that you are definitely selecting the option to create barcodes only for products or variants that don't have barcodes yet. If you are already doing so and the issue persists it would definitely be worth reaching out to our Retail support team via https://shopify.link/vRn so we can see if we can establish the root cause of the issue and prevent this from happening again. Thanks so much! - Natasha, Shopify Support

Impossible to create a custom label, so you have to use one of the provided settings / eventually change your printer of labels...
Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! The Retail Barcode Labels app does allow some customisation of the label content, but it would not be possible to customise a label size - that does require using a provided setting. Please do feel free to edit your review here to provide further context of what customisation options you would like to see and I can advise on whether what you need is possible or pass over any limitations as feedback to our development team for you. Or, please do feel free to reach out to us at any time via https://shopify.link/vRnL so we can take a look for you. Thanks! - Natasha, Shopify Support

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
Hi there! Thank you so much for letting us know and so sorry to hear you've encountered an issue with the printing process! That issue may be due to the browser settings rather than the app, but to be able to advise further we would need to confirm the process being used and see the error message in question. Please do feel free to reach out to us at any time via https://shopify.link/vRnL so we can take a look for you. Thanks! - Natasha, Shopify Support

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.
Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing this feedback! I completely understand the need for a quick and easy workflow when printing labels, and it would be great to get some further context on what you feel could be easier, or feels superfluous in that process. Please do feel free to edit your reply here, or reach out to us via https://shopify.link/vRnL so we can take a look for you and pass any feedback along to our development team. - Natasha, Shopify Support

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. Edit: None of the solutions offered by support (which is just AI) work, while the errors persist. Is there any way that we can send tickets to Shopify support, so that these errors can actually be worked on and fixed, instead of just blaming the user every time barcodes disappear, are overwritten, don't work, print out $0.00 etc.? Or are these issues part of the app? This is incredibly frustrating to deal with and makes Shopify borderline useless for on-site retail operations. We are looking into POSes with better support.
Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! It would be unexpected that barcodes would disappear or show up as duplicates. However, it is possible that existing ones could be overwritten if the *Replace any existing barcodes with new ones. If a product or variant doesn’t have a barcode yet, create a new barcode* setting is selected in the *Create barcodes for products* dialog box options. It would definitely be worth reaching out to our Retail support team so we can see if we can establish the root cause of these issues and prevent this from happening again. Please do feel free to reach out via https://shopify.link/vRnL and we can take investigate further for you. Thanks so much! - Natasha, Shopify Support

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. To add a response the the comment from Shopify. The model you have listed below takes the same labels as the model I have posted. I will be exstatic if you can tell me which 'Product Label', not shipping label, that can be bought in Australia, that will work in the printer and be compatable with this software. I have replied to your email but no response! Thank you again.
Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! The Brother 810 printer model is not listed as supported with the RBL app - please see that list here: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/sell-in-person/hardware/barcode-printer - and I'm only able to see the Brother QL Wifi Label Printer (QL-1110NWB) printer model as supported and sold in the Australian Shopify Hardware store. If you did purchase that printer from Shopify and were later told it was not supported, we can definitely investigate further for you. Please do feel free to reach out to us with your order number at any time via https://shopify.link/vRnL so we can take a look for you. Thanks! - Natasha, Shopify Support

I want to increase the size of my fonts when using Zebra - 10010038 labels. Is there a way this can be done?
Hi there! Thank you for reaching out! The Retail Barcode Labels app itself does not provide a direct setting to increase the font size on barcode labels. However, you can customize the label templates within the app to adjust the layout and the information displayed. For more advanced customization, including font size adjustments, you might consider using a Dymo printer with Dymo Label software to print the labels, as this allows detailed design and that may include resizing of label elements including barcodes and text. We would advise confirming with Dymo directly to see if what you need is possible before doing so as they are best placed to confirm. Or you could use a third party barcode label printing app which offers that option. Hope that helps and please do feel free to reach out to us at any time via https://shopify.link/vRnL if you need any further advice. Thanks! - Natasha, Shopify Support

This is not responding to my IDRP printer at all
Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! The Retail Barcode Labels app can only be used with supported barcode printer models, please see a list here for reference: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/sell-in-person/hardware/barcode-printer#supported. IDRP label printers would not be supported for use with the app, which would be why your printer would be unable to print labels created there. You can purchase a supported label printer from your regional hardware store here - https://www.shopify.com/pos/store - or from a third party supplier of your choice (just make sure to verify the model name and number is on the supported list when buying from a third party). Hope that helps and do feel free to edit your reply here or reach out via https://shopify.link/vRnL if you have any further questions. Thanks! - Natasha, Shopify Support

La aplicacion funciona bien pero tengo un problema porque no aparece el precio en la etiqueta y tengo todo seleccionado para que aparezca pero no hay manera.
¡Hola! ¡Muchas gracias por compartir tus comentarios! Sería inesperado que, si el campo **Precio** de la plantilla de código de barras está desmarcado y se guarda la plantilla, el precio se siga mostrando en la etiqueta impresa. Captura de pantalla de la opción de precio para contexto: https://screenshot.click/16-23-16326-67465.png. Si el problema persiste, no dudes en contactarnos en cualquier momento a través de https://shopify.link/vRnL para que nuestro equipo de soporte técnico pueda revisarlo y buscar una solución. ¡Gracias! - Natasha, Soporte de Shopify

Not good. I used this app for almost a year. Suddenly none of the codes being generated are unreadable. Moving on.
Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! It would be unexpected that the app would suddenly have issues as described with readability. Please do feel free to reach out to us at any time via https://shopify.link/vRnL so our dedicated support team can take a look for you and work towards a resolution. Thanks! - Natasha, Shopify Support

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.
Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your query! In the barcode template, you should see the option to deselect the **Display barcode symbol** option, please see this screenshot as an example of that option: https://screenshot.click/16-07-17867-74143.png. Once that is deselected and the template is saved, both the barcode and the barcode numbers should not be displayed on the label when printed. Any issues with that process, do feel free to edit your reply here or reach out to us at any time via https://shopify.link/vRnL. - Natasha, Shopify Support

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.
Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! It would be unexpected that the app would spontaneously create it's own barcodes, however, when you are creating barcodes for new products it is possible that the existing ones can be overwritten if the *Replace any existing barcodes with new ones. If a product or variant doesn’t have a barcode yet, create a new barcode* setting is selected in the *Create barcodes for products* dialog box options. It would definitely be worth reaching out to our Retail support team so we can see if we can establish the root cause and prevent this from happening again.

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.
Thanks for taking the time and sharing this feedback. If the Retail Barcode Labels app isn't able to support the alphabets for your business, then there are some third-party options that you can explore and we've got a list of them here: SKU and barcode apps (https://shopify.link/BJoA). Cheers. -Elias, Shopify Support

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.
Hi there. Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, we truly appreciate it. As we can completely understand the impact of this, I've gone ahead and shared your feedback with our developers to consider in future updates. - Blair, Shopify Support

This app is not working fine. Price section is checked but it couldnot show in label preview and in printing label
Hey, Gioiello! Thanks for reaching out. We'd be happy to learn more about the issues you are having with the app. Feel free to get in touch with us here: https://shopify.link/W8y0 - Dirk, Shopify Support

this thing is a joke...they are trying to push POS and they can even have a lable printing softward tha works half way decent. - The issue is you can not edit the font size - every thing is just placed onto one line - if you print a barcode, then scan it on the POS it doesn't go to the actual variant. It goes to the main product then you have to choose manually the variant. So we sell clothing surf products so it only pulls up the main category then you have to actually manually enter in which size or color or whatever variant you have manually.

"Customization" is a joke. Only have two lines whether you have a barcode or not and the first line can only reference a single field. Can only show price, not compare at price?! Typical Shopify half-baked app.
Hi, there! Thanks for sharing your feedback, it's greatly appreciated. I have passed your thoughts along to our developers for consideration. Feel free to keep an eye on the Shopify Changelog (https://shopify.link/N5vR) for updates! - Greta, Shopify Support

ZERO STARS!! Do NOT waste your time. Constantly comes back with errors and will not generate barcodes. Followed all the 'fixes' suggested by support OVER and OVER and OVER and NOTHING works. This has cost me a ton of time and issues with my store.
Hi there. Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing some trouble with the Retail Barcode Labels app. If you haven't done so already, I'd encourage you to follow back up with our Live Support so we can take a closer look at those errors to ensure this gets resolved: https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA. - Blair, Shopify Support
