We are having issues with duplicate barcodes constantly. This is a major issue that is time consuming to fix and costs us money to print new tags all the time after discovering duplicate barcodes. We even use the app to create all of our barcodes and it still generates duplicates on a regular basis.

Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing information about this issue! 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. Thanks so much!

Being free is the only good thing. Why would a barcode app that generates barcodes generate duplicates? That should not be possible. More disappointing though is the print quality from Shopify is terrible. We use a Dymo label printer and these barcode look awful and some wont even scan. If you print the exact same barcode through the Dymo desktop app it's flawless. What is Shopify doing to cause the barcodes to loose such quality? A fix for this would great.

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.

We can also take a look at that time at the printing quality issues you described as well if unresolved. Thanks so much!

The basics of this app work well but I cannot understand why there isn't a feature for me to bulk upload the labels that I want to print via CSV. It is so time consuming having to individually select each product and fill in the amount of labels that I want to print. It seems like such an easy solution - its in place for plenty of other Shopify apps

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.
