I like using this app but I hate the limitation of the label sizes. Especially, when I got a phomemo label printer and can't find the right size label to print. I have a 1.5 x 1 labels on a roll and there are no option for this size or no option for a 2.25x1 option either. I expected when click on other options there would be an option for custom but nope.
Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! You mentioned that you are using a Phomemo printer - for context, the app is designed to be used only with a compatible barcode printer models which would not include that brand. A full list of supported printer models can be found here: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/sell-in-person/hardware/barcode-printer#supportedhttps://help.shopify.com/en/manual/sell-in-person/hardware/barcode-printer. This means that only labels supported for use with those printers can be printed from the app, which would not include a 1.5'' x 1'' size label. Full list of supported label brands/sizes can be found here: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/sell-in-person/hardware/barcode-printer/retail-barcode-labels#supported-label-sizes. We would recommend purchasing a supported printer and label size so that you can print quickly and easily. Hope that helps and please do feel free to reach out to us at any time via https://shopify.link/vRnL if you need further assistance!

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. Please do feel free to reach out via https://shopify.link/vRnL and we can take investigate further for you. Thanks so much!

We have been using this app for over 4 years and it has worked well for us. However, in the last month it has given us so many glitches. Shopify support can't help on this one. I've spent hours on this! It's randomly reassigning barcodes to products so when we scan an item at checkout it doesn't recognize it. Manufacture barcodes that we added so we could just scan the product aren't recognized anymore. we are having to manually lookup items at checkout or just redo barcodes on 100's of items. We are a small business and don't have time for this. Hopefully this will resolve itself soon because overall it's a great app.

it works in the admin to print labels but it would be great if it was available on the pos app as a tile
Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing this feedback! While it is possible to print barcode labels from the admin using the Retail Barcode Label app in a browser window on your POS device, I can see that having the ability to print directly from the POS app would be helpful, as you wouldn't need to switch between interfaces.
Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention! We’re always working to improve the way our apps work, so I’ve passed this feedback along to our developer team.

Very glitchy. When adding products it keeps previous printed products in gthe cue so you will have to restart app or manually go to each and set print to 0 so as to not duplicate barcode printing
Hi there, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review! When pulling up the product view to select the products you wish to print labels for, it should pull up a list of all your available products to do so, rather than pulling up products previously printed. If this does not fit with what you are experiencing, please do reach out via https://shopify.link/vRnL and we can take an in-depth look for you.
This is a great app if you only need to print barcodes once as it will not allow a second print, even if you uninstall, reinstall, and create new codes for your products. I struggled with it for far too long before removing.
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and share your experience with us. When printing issues occur, there can be a couple of different factors at play, including printer connection issues, etc. There are some handy troubleshooting steps in our Help Centre which should help resolve it: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/sell-in-person/hardware/barcode-printer#troubleshooting.
If you do want some assistance with printing labels using the app, or to provide more detailed feedback about the issues you encountered, we would be happy to help. Please feel free to add it to your current review and I would be happy to address it, if possible, or you can contact our support team at anytime via the Shopify Help Center for assistance: https://shopify.link/vRnL.
I am using ZEBRA jewelry labels LC8 but I can not choose SKUs Title … it tells label too small - can you please fix that problem urgently - it’s the only label app from Shopify and that should be working perfect
Thanks
Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback! Customizations for ZSB-LC8 labels are currently limited, but we’re always working to improve the way our apps work, so I’ve passed this feedback along to our developer team.
As a basic barcode app, this seems to do the trick. But I want to integrate with Google Merchant Center and it needs GTIN (12 character) and there isn't an option for it.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our app will generate barcodes for in-store use using the last eight digits of the product ID. A GTIN is a globally unique id number and must be obtained externally. Any GTINs uploaded in the barcode field of the product can then be printed on labels.
Update 3/27/25: This app is now creating duplicated barcodes numbers. When scanning products at the register, I have to choose which product it belongs to.
Almost there. Too many steps to print labels. Why do I need to "create barcodes" before printing labels? Might as well create the barcodes as I print labels at the same time. Need product names on jewelry tags and all product names on other tags are too short.
Thank you so much for your review and feedback, and taking the time to do so! We understand just how important it is to have the process be quick and efficient for you, and I have passed this along to our developers. If the Retail Barcode Labels app doesn't meet your needs, you're welcome to explore some third-party options for creating barcode labels here: https://shopify.link/doJ5
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).
