How to print barcode labels
Give products a barcode and print price stickers on a thermal label roll or an A4 sticker sheet. Add items by search, scan or whole category, design the label once for the shop, test print one label, then print the full list.
Updated
Barcodes make billing faster and stop wrong prices at the counter. Packaged goods usually already have a barcode printed on them; loose items, your own products and repacked goods need a label.
Open Barcode labels in the sidebar under Inventory. You can also press Label (or L) on a product’s page to send it to the label list.
Print labels
Step 1: Add items to the list
Search by name, SKU or barcode, or scan the item with a scanner gun. To label a whole delivery, choose a category in Poori category ek saath dalain.
Step 2: Set how many labels
Change the count on each line, or use Sab ko to set ×1, ×2, ×5, ×10 or Stock jitne (one per item in stock) for all lines.
Step 3: Give missing barcodes
If some items have no barcode, press Barcode banayen. Each gets a new EAN-13 code that any scanner can read, and it is saved on the product.
Step 4: Choose the paper
Under Label ka design, pick Thermal roll with your roll size (such as 50×30) or A4 sheet, or set Apna naap (your own size).
Step 5: Choose what prints
Turn on the shop name, product name, price, barcode digits, unit, variant or expiry. The design is saved for the whole shop.
Step 6: Test, then print
Press Test print to print one label and check the size. Then press Print with the label count.

Questions
Which barcode type should I use?
Keep Code 128: every scanner reads it and it works with any code. If you choose EAN-13, only valid 13-digit codes print as EAN-13 and the rest fall back to Code 128.
Can I print the carton price on a carton label?
Yes. Add the pack unit to the list. If the pack has no price of its own, the label shows the piece price times the pack count.
