Can we display compare at price on printed barcode labels?

Topic summary

Main issue: Retailers want the “compare-at price” (original price shown alongside a sale price) printed on product barcode labels generated via Shopify’s Retail Barcode Labels app.

Current status: A Shopify staff member confirmed this is not supported in the Retail Barcode Labels app. Feedback has been passed to developers, but no update or timeline has been provided. Users continue to request this as a basic, essential feature for brick-and-mortar sales and seasonal discounts.

Workarounds: Staff suggested third‑party label printing apps. One retailer reports success using the Yanet app (supports templates), while others ask which apps work and whether they require payment.

Pain points raised:

  • Extra manual steps to swap prices before printing, then revert, which is error‑prone and time‑consuming.
  • Need to show both in‑store and online prices or “price” vs “compare‑at price” on the same label.
  • Frustration that such functionality isn’t native and may require paid apps.

Outcome: No native solution or commitment shared. Discussion remains open with key question unanswered: if/when Shopify will add a compare‑at field to label templates.

Hi, could you please let me know which third party apps would enable the “compare at price” to be printed on the label? I have been looking for one and couldn’t find any. Thanks.
