Hi! We have been using a piece of code to add a bar code to the bottom of every order’s pick list so that we can track where in production an order currently is. We have just received word that the code was connected to an app that will now start charging.

Does anyone know of a different app that would do this without the charge? If not, is there better code that can be used?

Thank you, In advance!

https://barcode.tec-it.com/en has worked well for me.

If you want a client side implementation, JSBarcode is also good.
