how to create a barcode on shopify

If you’re selling in person, then  you might want to add barcodes to  ,your products to streamline the checkout process. There’s a few different ways you can add barcodes  ,to your products, but today I’m using the free  Retail Barcode Labels app. Let’s get started!,To start, review the links in the description  to make sure you have a label printer that  ,Shopify supports. The examples shown here  are printers available in the United States.  ,The hardware available to you  depends on your business location.,If you don’t have access to Shopify supported  printers, then you can use a computer printer. ,You also need labels that are the right size  to fit your specific barcode printer. You can  ,buy printers and labels directly from the Shopify  hardware store if it’s available in your region. ,If you use a computer printer, you can  purchase Avery Standard labels to use with it,Next, download the Retail Barcode  Labels app from the Shopify app store.,After you have the app, a printer and labels  ready, you can start to create and print barcodes!,To start, click “Apps”, and then  click “Retail Barcode Labels”. ,If you haven’t created any labels yet, then  you see a welcome screen - click “Get Started”. ,Before you can print any labels,  you need to create a template. So,  ,click “Skip” to go directly  to the template creator.,Start by entering a title for  your template. In this example,  ,I’m going to create a template  specifically for t-shirts.  ,But you can create a general template  that you use for all of your products.,Then, select the label type  you’re going to print with.,If you don’t see an option for  the type of label that you have,  ,then select “Other label type” and  choose a paper brand and model number. ,Under “Label preview”, click  the checkboxes beside the  ,information that you want to include on the label.,Make sure “Display barcode symbol” is selected  if you’d like a barcode to appear on the label.,To rearrange how line items appear,  ,click the six dot icon beside its title  and drag and drop it to a new spot.,The details update in the preview  ,as you make changes. When you’re  ready, click “Create template.” ,The template you just created is now  available on the “Label templates” page.,If you ever want to edit an existing template,  ,click the title and make changes. Next, click “Create barcodes”,  ,and select either create barcodes for  specific products or all products.,If you select “all products”, then you have two  options. You can create barcodes only for products  ,or variants that don’t have any barcodes yet. Or,  you can replace existing barcodes with new ones.,If you select replace existing barcodes,  ,then click the checkbox to confirm that you  understand existing barcodes will be deleted.,You also have the option to create  barcodes for specific products,  ,which is what I’m doing in this example.,Use the search bar to type in keywords,  ,like t-shirt, and select the  products using the checkboxes. ,Again, you can choose if you want  to replace existing barcodes.  ,I only want to create barcodes for products that  don’t have them, so I select the first option.,Then click “Create barcodes”. The barcodes are created in the background. ,If you create barcodes for your entire  inventory, this process might take a few minutes.  ,But, you’ll have an update on this page  when the labels are ready for printing.,You can print your labels directly from this page.  ,Click “Print labels” and select the  products that you want to have barcodes for.,In this example, I’m going  to print my labels from the  ,product page so I can select  all of my t-shirts at once. ,Click “Products” and select the products  that you want to create a barcode label for.,You can only select products  on the current page to print.  ,If you select all products in your store,  the barcode labels become unavailable.,But if you would like to print labels for  all of your products, you need to repeat  ,the steps outlined here on each product page. Because I’m only printing labels for t-shirts,  ,I like using the search bar to filter  products so they’re faster to select.,Next, click “More actions”, and  then “Print barcode labels”. ,On the new page, select a template from the  drop-down menu. I only have one template,  ,but you might have more than one option  if you created multiple templates. ,In the “Products” section, enter the number of  labels that you want to print for each variant.,Or, select “Set number of labels to match items  in stock”. This means that, if I have five small,  ,blue t-shirts, it will print five labels,  matching all of the product's inventory.,I recommend scrolling through and double checking  the number of labels that are about to print,  ,so you can have enough paper or labels ready. When you’re done making changes,  ,click “Print labels”. Now, verify that the correct printer is listed,  ,and that you have the recommended print settings.,For more information on how to troubleshoot label  printers, see the help articles linked below. ,You now you know how to create barcodes from  start to finish so you can start selling in  ,person!
