Hi! We really like this simple app! There is one problem, sadly, it does not support UTF-8 character encoding...
Developer team, please fix this simple problem!
Best regards,

The app is ok and could be really useful if a developer could spend some time on it. I tried and failed to print warehouse labels on A4 sheets (Avery 3484) and used the Avery website editor instead https://app.avery.nl

Perfect app for adding barcodes to all your products instantly. There is an option to generate barcodes for products that haven't got them yet (or rewrite all of them with new ones). I guess this last feature is causing some issues with other users (probably that's why the rating of this app is lower that should be, in my opinion).

The only option that I miss at the moment, is a way to define custom sized labels. There is a lot to choose from, but we need a really specific size. Could this be added, please? :)

There are a lot of tags to make no name, which makes me very annoyed. Please improve, thank you!!!!!

Pretty worthless. It creates 8 digit bar-codes while in the USA Google requires 12 digit UPC codes. The App will populate your custom products bar-code locations with these 8 digit numbers and then Google will kick them all back and you will have to manually remove them. I submitted an inquiry on this and was told that these are actually GTIN numbers but Google reads them as UPC numbers. There needs to be a separate box to fill in for GTIN numbers on the product pages.

Thank you for the feedback! I can definitely understand the frustration with having to manually replace the barcodes with your GTIN numbers. An alternative option would be to export your products via a CSV file to change them in bulk and import them back into your store afterwards.

That said, I'll be sure to pass that feedback on to the relevant team so that hopefully a separate field for that is added in the future. I will follow up with you via email shortly as well, in case you have any further questions about this. Thank you! - Brie, Shopify Support

This app is garbage. A complete waste of time. If you have thousands of labels to print on smaller items and need to use Avery 5167, it only allows the barcode and the price. What a complete downgrade from my current system. I'm not thrilled about having to pay for a different app when this one should be so much better. Come on Shopify. Look at the reviews. This app needs to be overhauled. Efficient barcoding helps with effiecient inventory management which is part of the foundation of running a successful retail operation.

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

Hey, there! Thanks for taking the time to write a review. If available, could you attempt to clear your cache on your browser? In some cases, clearing the cache on your browser can fix mirror issues that you may experience with the Shopify admin.

If the issue persists, could you try to use a separate browser? For example, if you are using Safari - try this action on Google Chrome.

If these troubleshooting methods did not work for you, we can take a further look into the application by reaching out to our live support: https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA. - Ollie, Shopify Support

¡Hola! ¡Muchas gracias por tus comentarios! La aplicación ofrece funciones de personalización. Por ejemplo, puedes añadir y reordenar campos de etiqueta específicos según sea necesario. Sin embargo, las opciones disponibles varían según el tamaño de la etiqueta: las etiquetas más pequeñas tienen menos opciones de personalización debido al espacio. Si buscas alguna personalización específica que no esté disponible, puedes editar tu respuesta aquí con el contexto o contactar con nuestro equipo de soporte de Retail a través de https://shopify.link/vRn para que podamos ayudarte. ¡Muchas gracias!
