Hi Shay, We’ve been using Shopify for our website for five years, we really want to replace our current POS with Shopify but this is a deal breaker. It really needs to be looked at. It is so important to so many retailers and will lose Shopify a boat load of trade if it’s not provided. Please get on it!
Shay, do Shopify not realise they are going to lose loyal customers of several years, if they do not fix this? My company has paid thousands to Shopify but our business will have no choice but to go elsewhere. Please will you guys realise the seriousness of this request from multiple users??
I second this - the ability to print barcode labels from a PO is so important. to have to enter all of the items again in order to print labels feels like a huge waste of time.
I know stocky allows for bar code label printing, but we cannot use those huge labels for our merchandise. One of the most important workflow functions for us in QB POS was the ability to print barcode labels in the size we need with the click of one button.
100% agree. This is a huge problem.
I will add our voice to the strong (desperate?) requests for the need to easily print bar code labels from within a received PO. We migrated to Shopify two weeks ago. While happy with most of our experience, the lack of this function was a shocker.
Very desperate, very strong requests! I can’t fathom why Shopify won’t give what their users need??
Agreed. This issue needs to addressed asap. Many new migrating customers will be baffled that this functionality doesn’t exist. ‘Print barcode labels from PO’ - should be an easy update for software of this caliber. Get on it Shopify!
And they print labels based upon a PO or delivery do they?
Really??
That is a flipping rigmarole and an absolute pain in the behind!
No one wants to do that.
We book in over 500 purchase orders a year with thousands of items that need barcode labels/tags automatically added to the print queue, so why on earth can’t developers come up with a simple solution for this??
for everyone wanting to print barcode labels from a PO, use this app! it makes it super simple. you just need to get your Stocky API number from Shopify. it is explained in the app.
use this app to print barcode labels from a PO. it’s super simple.
try using this app to print barcode labels from a PO. it’s working for me.
Thank y We should not have to pay $10 a month for a function that is integral to the business and ought to be part of the software.
I understand your frustration with the barcode printing process in Shopify, i was having the same problem and just thought up a possible solution… let me know if it works for you.
After checking in a Purchase Order (PO), go to the Products section in the left sidebar of Shopify POS. There, you’ll find a sort button (the arrows on the right side). Select these arrows and choose “Updated & Newest First.” This should give you a list of items that have just been updated, closely reflecting the items in your recently checked-in PO. This way, you won’t have to search for each item individually. You can select them all with a click+shift and then select more>print barcode labels and it’s way better.
Good Luck!
Thank you for sharing this clever work-around! That said, I’m still hoping Shopify will add ‘Print Labels from Purhcase Order’ functionality directly on PO page. This will allow quantities auto populate to exactly match that of PO
Shay, Is there a status update on this? I’ve recently migrated from Lightspeed and I cannot even begin to express my disappointment with this inability to print barcode labels from a PO. This should be a standard functionality.
Hi @Birdie1
Thank you for joining the conversation for adding your feedback here. At this time I don’t have further updates on this topic, but I am continuing to share provided feedback with our devs for consideration. I recognize this is an important feature for many of you, and I am making sure that is communicated to the appropriate teams.
It’s a shame, Shopify has now lost us as a POS customer beacuse they can’t provide this simple function that bricks & mortar retailers need. We’ve decided to stick with our current POS. Stick to wjhat you’re good at Shopify, websites.
I am extremely disappointed that this feature is not available. This also might be a deal breaker for us as well. This function is the most basic function of a POS for brick and mortars. Every system that any retail store uses has this function. Shopify is going to lose a lot of business if this is not added. We did not realise that you could not print barcode labels from the PO until a few days ago. We just switched over to Shopify POS so that we could sell online and instore and have our inventory match up. Having to search for each individual item and then adjust the quantities is extremely frustrating and time consuming. If you could just print straight from the PO it would be one click and your ready to print and sell. I know that it would not be hard for them to fix this. It seems like they don’t even understand what POS systems have been doing. They should have researched this before encouraging people to integrate their online store with POS for in person sales. Barcodes are EXTREMELY important for in person sales. Come on Shopify, fix this!!
Hi Shay, I’m glad to see that this thread is being monitored and relieved to know that you are working on our behalf to resolve this situation.
We have installed the multi-label barcode App and while it makes an attempt it is not an adequate solution for serious brick and mortar retailers who are accustomed to using powerful POS systems where label printing is integrated into the system functionality. From the other reviews I can see that we are not alone in spending a lot of money and time on this POS transition. We are all aware that Shopify has the potential of substantially increasing their earnings if more retailers move their POS platforms over. I truly hope that Shopify understands the big investment we are all making- and the trust we put into your company when undertaking these transitions.
It is so frustrating to discover that the Shopify POS platform has been marketing itself to serious, existing brick and mortar businesses but is not actually ready for us. Please do what you can to convey to management that just as we have all invested in the transition process we need them to invest in fixing this….
