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!

This app has worked flawlessly for us for almost 4 years now! I only wish there was a little more flexibility in the fields we can include on tags.

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.

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!

when new stock arrives, would it be possible to directly show which products still need to have labels printed? This is a functionality which we are missing...

Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing this suggestion! I can definitely see why having the option to view how many labels are needed based on stock received would make the barcode labelling workflow easier.

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.

My needs are simple for this. It would be nice if there was also a way to also add product metafields to the label. Like for showing a shorter name, or just product code. Otherwise, it seems to be alright.

I’ve encountered with the Google Merchant Center integration on my Shopify store. Specifically, the GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) for my products is not syncing properly with Google Merchant Center, which has led to limited product performance and visibility.

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. Our team works hard to improve our app functionality, so we’d like to look into this further for you. Can I ask if you are using the app to generate your product barcodes as well as printing them? If so, that might be part of the issue. GTINs are a unique and internationally recognised identifier that is assigned for a product, whereas the Retail Barcode Label will generate it's own barcodes. If you can provide a bit more information about how you utilise the app in relation to your barcodes and the related GTIN issue, that would be super helpful. Please feel free to add it to your current review and I would be happy to address it, if possible.

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.
