Print barcode labels

Design barcode or QR labels and shelf tags for your items and print them on A4 sheets or a thermal printer.

1Add items to the print queue

Open Inventory → Labels & Barcodes and click the items you want labels for. Each one joins the Print queue, where you set how many labels to print.

Numbered outlines show what to click, in order.

2Give items a barcode

Items without a barcode print their SKU as the code. To give them a proper barcode, choose Gen next to an item, or the Gen … missing link above the queue to do them all at once.

3Choose the label size and code

Under Design, pick a Quick size for your label sheet or thermal roll, or set the layout yourself. Choose the code type — CODE-128, EAN-13, UPC-A, CODE-39 or QR — and switch on the fields to show, such as name, price or HSN.
