Add Barcodes to Shopify Packing slips
Updated 2 days ago
Within EasyScan we have the option to generate and print packing slips for each of your orders, these include a barcode of the order number without any coding. Plus you can even add a barcode for each of your products if you would like!
We also recommend using the Order Printer app for your packing slips and invoices. It is a free app made by Shopify and has some good features including:
Previewing and printing all the documents you need for your orders
Including: invoices, packing slips, address labels, return slips, receipts, and more!
Fully showcase your brand by making customizations in HTML and Liquid
You can purchase templates to make your brand stand out even further, see our friends at FORSBERG+two
If you would still like to add a barcode to your Shopify native packing slip please follow these steps.
Adding an Order Number Barcode to your native Shopify Packing slips
Adding a barcode to your Shopify Packing slips will make it much faster to search for an order within EasyScan.
First you need to upload the Barcode CSS file to your Shop, then edit the packing slip template, test it and you are ready to go!
Upload the Barcode font
Please download the file below, this is a CSS file that has the barcode font embedded. The embedded barcode font is represented as an SVG within the CSS file.
Next, upload the CSS file to your Shopify store's “Content” -> "Files" area.
Once it has been uploaded, click the 🔗 (Copy link) to copy the URL of the CSS file.
Adjust the packing slip code
Go to your Shopify settings
Select “Shipping and delivery”
Scroll down to “Packing slip template”
Click “Edit”; this is where you can edit the code used to generate your packing slips.
At the very top of the packing slip, press Enter (or Return) to make a gap to add your own code.
Now paste your copied Font URL of the CSS to the top of the document.
Add the code below as well.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{Replace with your Font URL}" type="text/css">
Make sure to replace the section {Replace with your Font URL} with the Font URL you pasted already, then remove the URL you pasted from the top of the document.
Move down the document and find;
<div class="order-title">Add the following code just below;
*{{ order.order_number }}*
Please note that the asterisks (*) are essential to ensure the barcode can be scanned.
Check the packing slip
Now you can click the Preview template button to check that the barcode has generated correctly.
We advise using your barcode scanner to ensure it scans and returns the expected order number.
If you have any issues, please re-check the steps above to ensure the code is correct.
Once you have confirmed that the barcode is working well you are ready to save the template.
Now head back to your Shopify orders and you can print off your Packing slips, then scan the barcode within EasyScan to find the order quickly!
