This was an easy to use app until last week. Like the other reviews this app was working fine until last last week now it's not even creating barcodes, so pretty useless now & I don't want to have to re-create new barcodes for over 400 products??

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

Why this app doesn't work when you create a purchase order in shopify is BEYOND me. Having inventory accuracy is super important and if we could just print right from the purchase order window we could ensure items were getting the correct labels. As it is now we have to print tags from the product page and then receive the items on a PO - it's a second step that should be easy to remedy.

EDIT: Six years and we still don't have an option to print barcode labels from Purchase orders. My staff HATE the new "feature" where every variant now defaults to a single label. We have to zero out the quantity to print before selecting the correct number of labels to print. Please restore the default to ZERO LABELS!

It would be helpful if this app worked with special characters. also took a long time to figure out how to get it to work with the labels i have. there aren't enough presets for labels and the basic 1" x 2 1/8" label preset doesn't work.

Edit 2023: App still works ok. A major issues i'm having is issues with duplicate barcodes because the barcodes are generated using the last 8 characters of the variant id but the variant id is 14 characters, so multiple product variants are getting the same barcode.

Additionally, a major oversight is authorizations based on user type. At least there should be some sort of password input for replacing all barcodes. It would be a shame if I spent countless hours applying barcode stickers to all of my products only to have an associate mindlessly choose "replace all barcodes in my store" and render all the barcodes useless. This is functionality that needs to be implemented ASAP.

EDIT: Started using EasyScan for fulfillment purposes and they also will generate barcodes using the unique 14 character variant ID. Uninstalling this app.

I’ve reached out to you via email to discuss your experience with the app so far, hope to hear from you soon! -Lizzy, Shopify Support

You would expect a Shopify Barcode Label App to be able to create a label that shows both the original compare price & the actual discounted price of an item. This BASIC REQUIREMENT for any retail store is however not a feature & Shopify instead expects you to pay for a third party app. Seems absolutely absurd but Shopify doesn't seem to care.

First posted this review 4 years ago....... still no change. Thanks Shopify for showing that you aren't listening to the feedback given.

There must be a space between currency and price because price is not visible when there is no space

Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback!
The Retail Barcode Labels app does allow some customisation of the label, however, I am not aware of any specific setting which can be utilised to change spacing between the currency symbol and the first number of the price. Please do feel free to reach out to us at any time via https://shopify.link/vRnL and we can look into this further with you and see if we can get that resolved for you. Thanks!

It's crazy that this cannot be used as a POS app. We want store managers and staff to be able to print basic barcodes in store without having to leave the POS app. This seem like another basic function missing from Shopify's core POS offering.

Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing this feedback!
I completely understand that having the option to print barcode labels directly from the POS app would be of benefit to your business, and I have passed that feedback along to our development team. Really appreciate you flagging this! Please do feel free to reach out to our Retail support team via https://shopify.link/vRn if you have any further feedback you'd like to share, at any time.

The default to printing 1 label makes no sense & is really slowing me down.

I loved this app before, please change it back

Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing this feedback!
I have passed that feedback along to our development team, and really appreciate you flagging this. In the meantime, when selecting products on the **Add products** page in the app, you can untick any variants under the selected product you don't need labels for. That way, when you get to the next page to enter the correct number of labels you need, you won't need to remove/zero out any, as they have already been excluded. And please do feel free to reach out to our Retail support team via https://shopify.link/vRn if you have any further feedback you'd like to share, at any time. Thanks so much!
