BarcodeMan Barcode Labels

We tried the Shopify app to generate and print barcodes, but it was constraining and full of limitations. We then installed Barcode Man, and already, by default, it offers MUCH more flexibility. Yes, the app is not 100% perfect, BUT, if you contact them and ask them to adjust some things, they will happily do that for you. For the price, absolutely worth it. If you're looking to generate and print barcodes for your Shopify store, 3 words for you: go for it!

Really the features in this app should be built into shopify, but since they are too lazy to add more functionality, we are lucky to have the team at Gookit come up with a great solution. Im sure lots of customers are using this to print barcode labels on their products which it will do very well, but for our situation I wanted a way to label our shelves in the packing warehouse with helpful labels to make it easy for staff restocking the shelves and for packers to pick the correct items. The solution was to buy 50mm magnet tape, cut a 150mm strip and then stick a good looking sticker from this app onto the magnet so we can move it if we need to adjust the stock location. The app allowed me to define the exact size of the labels I was using, Add formatted text
Add a colour photo of the product automatically (it grabs the image from shopify)
Add the products barcode (in case we need that in the future) Add a QR code with it linking to the shopify product page. (This means our staff that refill the shelves can whip out their phone, when they see a shelves stock is low, and scan the QR to instantly see the product page in shopify and if we have any more in stock in our bulk stock warehouse rather than annoying the warehouse manager asking if we have stock. I was also able to automatically add the products supplier name (vendor) Now label printers are usually only black on white but I wanted to have a colour photo of the product on the label as some of our staff are visual and need a colour photo.
The solution was to purchase A4 sheets of labels and print on our colour office printer. This app even has a feature that you can select which label you are up to on the sheet. So if you have already used a few stickers on a sheet you can select the next available label on the sheet meaning no wastage of having to start a new sheet. Im terrible at learning new software but I was able to pick this one with ease and not even refer to the help screen it was so logical. Well done to the team and the smart person who designed this app. I'm very happy to recommend this one. I haven't needed this feature but you can make the QR code link to a custom url or a metafield from shopify. Improvements? The only other feature I can think of is being able to add divider lines or boxes on labels. At the time of writing I could add
Text (with all the usual Formatting options)
Image
Barcode
QR code. Im sure they will add that in the near future. Overall an excellent app.

We have a high SKU count business and we were looking for a more automated solution to generate barcodes for new products. The Barcode Man app was the only product we researched that could do this fairly easily, and affordably. We had some questions through the process and Will provded quick support, with videos to illustrate exactly how to execute. We provided some feedback that they were generating codes that started with 0 (which our warehouse does not accept), and they pushed out a fix within a day. Definitely recommend using this app to simplify your barcode creation process, even if you don't intend to use the print feature to stick a physical label on items.

So far I am pleased with the app. I am able to create product shelf tags with no problem. I reached out to customer service about resizing product names on tags and they got back to me within 12 hours with solution and even created new template for me to use.

Nice program when it works. support - MIA another 1 man show that takes your money and forgets you are a customer

Very fast in communicating and finding custom solutions. [Still setting up some details - but it a pleasure to work with gookit.]
Implemented my suggestions für new features - We use them a lot.
Thanks!

Not impressed. You app has nothing to do with Shopify. It's just a database to label printer app. It is very primitive. It is glitchy to run and locks up almost every time I use it. Plus I can't print barcodes unless I buy the Pro ver. So it's not a barcode app. It's a label printing app. Maybe offer a free version that prints only 100 SKU of barcode so the little buys can get a taste of it. My review on Shopify will reflect this comments. Thanks, but NO thanks.

Such a great app and an awesome support/developer. We've been waiting for so long to find an affordable app that gets the job done and when we had an issue their team was very responsive and they even created a short video for us to help us out. Highly recommend!

I needed an app for making product labels for our 150+ teas for retail purpose.
Flexibility and user friendliness was key. Before all labels text (contents, preparing instructions i.e) was written for each product and printed out from Apple pages. With the new version 2.0 we are able to sort out text bits from our product descriptions in Shopify, so we only need to create a few templates and use these to auto-create various labels. This saves us a lot of time and makes it so much easier to implement new products.
The app is getting more and more versatile. Recently we started using it for barcode labels to all stock items and price labels, making stock counting so much easier.
Finally we have been very pleased by the excellent support from Will, who has listened to all our suggestions and implemented a lot of them in the new version.
Thank you for a great app guys! Lars

Amazing app! We are able to add QR codes to our barcode labels, which is really going to help our customer experience in store. The team are also super helpful with all query's and respond super fast! They even added a new feature for us! Highly recommend this app!
