Shopify barcode label generator
Load the products CSV that Shopify exports, choose a label size and print barcode labels for every variant: EAN-13 / UPC-A when the barcode in Shopify is valid, Code 128 otherwise. Variants with no barcode get a Code 128 label built from the SKU, clearly marked. Free, no sign-up, and the file never leaves your browser.
1. Export your products
- In the Shopify admin go to Products > Export, choose All products and CSV for Excel, Numbers, or other spreadsheet programs.
- The file needs the columns
Handle,Title,Variant SKUandVariant Barcode(the standard export has them). - Upload it below, or paste the rows. Delete the rows you do not want labels for first if you only need some products.
Make labels from a products CSV
Your file is read by this page in your browser. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is saved.
2. Print
- 2 x 1 in: one label per page for a roll printer (Dymo, Zebra, Brother). Choose a 2 x 1 in paper size in the printer settings.
- A4 sheet of 24 (3 x 8, 70 x 37 mm) or of 65 (5 x 13, 38.1 x 21.2 mm): print on matching sticker sheets. Set scale to 100% and margins to none, or the labels drift off the grid. Print one test page on plain paper first and hold it against a sheet.
- Test-scan one label with the camera in your phone or your scanner before printing the whole run.
Labels built from the SKU
When a variant has no barcode in Shopify, the label carries its SKU as a Code 128 barcode, marked with a star. That is enough to scan your own shelves during a stocktake or cycle count. It is not a GS1 number: marketplaces and retail channels need registered GTINs, so add the real barcode in Shopify for anything you list there. Code 128 here uses character set B, so SKUs with accents or other non-ASCII characters are skipped and listed above the labels.
What Shopify does on its own
Shopify can export products for barcode printing and print labels with its free Barcode Printer app or Dymo software, and its own generator page makes one barcode at a time. This page makes sheets for the whole catalog from the file you already have, without installing an app or entering an email.
Labels are what a stocktake scans
Countwell is our Shopify app for stocktakes and cycle counts: it counts by phone with the camera in the Shopify mobile app and applies the difference to Shopify after a preview. It is in review and not listed in the App Store yet.
