Retail Barcode Labels

April 21, 2023

So far, this has integrated easily into my online and physical store. I started off trying to use the Avery pages with my regular printer. The margins were off and I could not figure it out. I messaged tech support, they said it was an Avery issue and to message Avery. That was quite frustrating and the reason I deducted a star. To save time, I purchased a Zebra series label printer and its been great since. Honestly, I am glad I ended up purchasing the printer as I can print one barcode and not have to load a page or waste paper. It is ready to go when I need it.

We are encountering major issues with the app, it has overwritten duplicated barcodes on products this incurring in a huge fulfillment issue. BEWARE !!!

We need more label sizes and able to change orientation. I sell skincare and need Dymo 30333 size labels printed landscape. Have been using app for a few years and love, but the lack of labels avail is a bummer. Also wish they had an upgraded version that would do scan-to-inventory

Problem has resolved - thank you! ok until today... received error message: We're sorry, but something went wrong. If you are the application owner check the logs for more information. Help!

Intuitive interface, relatively easy to use. Downsides: - Very limited selection of label sizes and no option for custom sizes. - Long barcodes are simply printed smaller, up to the point where no scanner can interpret them - Print interface starts, but does not show the label. PDF does download, though. Can make it work. I simply choose a slightly smaller label than my preferred size and print that, and make sure to limit the barcode length.

The app started randomly generating barcodes without our request, causing several issues with our integrations

This would be great if I could only print the labels that I actually have in a POS location and not my WHOLE store. This option is not available and it’s a headache to go one by one to choose the amount of labels to print. I would be great if I could match my inventory to a specific POS location and just print THAT. Is there something im doing wrong or missing here? 6 MONTHS LATER AND IM STILL UNABLE TO PRINT LABEL BARCODES FOR A SPECIFIC LOCATION. THIS SHOULDN’T BE SO HARD TO DO. GET TO IT! 1 YEAR later- I'm still waiting for a better update to this app. We should be able to print barcodes of a specific location. We should be able to choose "recently updated products", "specific collection" etc... PLEASE

I wonder why people gave so many bad reviews! This app is excellent and does exactly what it says: generate and print barcode labels. We needed the barcode printed on labels to be placed on bins in our warehouse to make it easier to scan products. It works perfectly with our recent purchase of Shopify POS Go barcode scanner. 10/10 so far! Thanks for this app! Happy customer here :) update: the customer service is EXCELLENT too! Highly recommend!

everything is fine... but all template price is not getting printed properly price is coming only in tag template :(

Looks useful but I want to add the name of the product to my barcodes and the app does not support Greek characters. Therefore I can't use it for my store.

Het € staat super dicht bij de prijzen waardoor het soms een ander getal lijkt. Dit zorgt voor zeer veel verwarring? kan dit aangepast worden ?

Why does Retail Barcode limit a dumbell label to 1 line? We would love to be able to use Retail Barcode Label to print our Dymo dumbell labels, but we print 2 lines on them and need 4 fields. The dumbell fits all of the text. Saying this APP allows you to "create custom templates" is not really true. Right now we have to export product data and then merge with the Dymo template, but the exports take more time and because Shopify limits product list in admin to 50 records per screen, we end up exporting multiple documents. Please fix Retail app to allow TRUE customer design. We print 2 lines on dumbell labels for all of our products, so there is no reason we should be limited to 1 line of text in Retail Barcode App.

Barcode label printing functionality is limited 1. Not possible to modify the price or currency. I need to print prices in a different currency than my store currency.

This app literally wasted hundred hours of my work life by simply generating random barcodes for all my existing SKUs. I tried contacting Shopify to see if I can undo the changes and get back my original barcodes but unfortunately it didn't work. am so disappointed. Regret installing this app!

This app is free and yet somehow still I'm disappointed. It is restricted to a limited range of labels from 3 specific brands of labels with specific brands/models of printers. (conveniently printers you can buy from the Shopify store.) You'd think this thing would be highly optimized for said printers, but I've had so many issues. For example, just today I had the labels just randomly start printing sideways. Like, between print-jobs using the same template, minutes apart. Shopify has a bad habit of creating apps and then never supporting or improving them, and sadly this is one of them. Update: 01/11/2023. No noticeable updates, but through some tinkering, I've been able to get it to work and it does print labels, so I'm upgrading it from 1 to 2 stars. However, another noticeable issue is the clunkiness in regards to bulk controls. You can't, for example, filter your search to a product category and select all, and you can't copy past a quantity down a row like you can if you were bulk editing something in Shopify. This is being mentioned because I recently needed to print one of each label, for the purpose of sticking on bins (a pretty fair use-case) and that involved me individually searching each item and then individually setting the quantity to 1. Very very very tedious, and if you have a warehouse full of SKU's, you're in for a bad time. I appreciate Imogen's response, and I genuinely hope to see this app improve, but it really does feel like it's being neglected.

SUMMARY TO HELP OTHERS: try pasting codes into external templates using Dymo/Zebra software. I am only on day one, and so far this app has 100% solved my issues. All I needed were barcode (numbers) generated for products - in about 5 minutes this app did exactly that. Doing this manually would've taken me hours, days, maybe even weeks. I think I understand why there are so many negative reviews - perhaps because it's advertised as an all in one barcode generator, label designer, and printer. Here's what I did: downloaded Dymo software and copied the generated barcodes into their label templates. From there I can customize size, text, everything. Every single label scans. NOW - if I find there's duplicate barcodes in here somewhere I'm going to be peeved, but so far so good. Listen, I know it seems clunky right now but back when I used another platform that starts with a Shop and ends with a Keep it was the same way in the beginning - barcodes were generated but direct label printing was near impossible. Perhaps Shopify will listen to concerns and work on patching bugs - in the meantime try external templates for Dymo/Zebra.

For a long time all went fine with our barcodes. now suddenly it makes duplicates of barcodes for diffrent products, even the products have diffrent SKUs!! even we have only about 4000 diffrent variants-barcodes.... It is a huge mess for us, as we are traped in this App. All our products are in store POS an are labeld with barcode labels!! i hope to get an answer from the developers to help me solve this problem! Please contact us! It's a worst case scenario!

Very poor app for handling the most important physical function in Shopify. Very disappointing. The poor function and printing of a barcode symbol is a good reason to never use Shopify. We had too many problems to get 20,000 labels working. Always an issue getting the barcode to print properly and read with the proprietary Socket Mobile scanner for Shopify POS. -The Documentation is poor to explain how layout works with "limited formats" and how that interacts with a thermal label printer with a label of a different size. There are so many label sizes. Why have such limits and not allow a standard dimension to be used? - No warnings for character limits on barcodes. There should be a warning when printing barcodes on labels that might be too narrow and create readable issues in 128. - No options to enable/disable compression, resizing or automatic "fit to size" within the app. Too much reliant on the print driver to adjust the barcode, when the app should be handling this. - No options for custom layout , including text wrapping options, font size. - No option to add a logo to the retail label. We want to add a small corporate logo somewhere on the label for branding. - the variant and product selection screen is too basic. It should show you the BARCODE field and the fields that the chosen LABEL is using. DUH! You have to "Print Label" to see if all your fields are there. - give us the usable workflow to find the oddball variant that is missing a barcode so we can fix it before printing. - A custom layout that allows you to adjust the height of the barcode with the text fields would make this soo much better. even if it still forces the fields to center. And within the height of a text box, you can enable/disable text wrapping to handle things like a long title. - the Label Template has a custom field for that template. BUT why not offer a "custom field" for the product, so a short title can be used to compensate for a long title that gets cut off the label because of the character limit. ...this app should be way better and more useful and accommodating. We tested identical test data with the Brother pTouch Editor and the same printer and the barcode labels came out beautiful, to the design, and accurately read quickly with the Socket Mobile S700. Verifying the conclusion that this app by Shopify is "trash".
