Retail Barcode Labels

Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing this feedback!
I completely understand that being able to bulk upload the labels you wish to print via a CSV file would be a helpful option to have. I have passed that feedback along to our development team, and 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. Thanks so much!

Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing information about this issue! Our Retail Barcode Labels Apps assigns barcodes to your products based on the last 8 digits of your product variant IDs and generally these are unique to each one. Even so, if a store has a very large number of products, there is a small chance that some of the variants can have the same 8 last digits, hence "duplicating a barcode" in such cases. However, that may or may not be what is at play for your store, so it might be no harm to reach out to us at https://shopify.link/vRn so we can double check for you, just in case it is a workflow issue that could be resolved and/or if we might be able to advise on a workaround. Thanks so much!

Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing information about those two issues! The printing quality issue you described is strange, and there should not be a demonstrable difference between the two apps. It might be no harm to check your printer settings when printing with the Retail Barcode Label app, as the resolution settings might need to be optimised. Steps to do that can be found here: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/sell-in-person/hardware/barcode-printer/retail-barcode-labels#recommended-print-settings-for-barcode-labels. When generating barcodes in the Retail Barcode Labels app you have several options to choose from; to create barcodes for all or specific products, to generate barcodes only for products without barcodes, or to replace existing barcodes with new ones. To avoid duplicates, we would advise making sure that you are definitely selecting the option to create barcodes only for products or variants that don't have barcodes yet. If you are already doing so and the issue persists it would definitely be worth reaching out to our Retail support team via https://shopify.link/vRn so we can see if we can establish the root cause of the issue and prevent this from happening again. We can also take a look at that time at the printing quality issues you described as well if unresolved. Thanks so much!
