Generating Barcodes

Barcode Generation and Printing

WareSquared can generate barcodes for your products and print barcode sheets for labeling.

Assigning Barcodes

There are two ways to assign barcodes:

1. Manual Entry — Enter an existing UPC, EAN, or custom barcode on the product edit page
2. Auto-Generate — Let WareSquared generate a unique barcode for internal use

Printing Barcode Sheets

1. Go to Products and select the products you want to print barcodes for
2. Click Print Barcodes from the bulk actions menu
3. Choose your label format and quantity per product
4. Click Generate to create a printable PDF

Supported Barcode Formats

• Code 128 — Most common for internal use
• EAN-13 — International product identification
• UPC-A — US/Canada retail standard

Scanning Barcodes

Barcodes can be scanned using:

• The WareSquared mobile app camera
• USB/Bluetooth barcode scanners connected to your computer
• The search bar on the web app (just scan and it auto-searches)

Tip: When using the mobile app, you can scan a barcode to instantly look up a product, add it to an order, or update its location during receiving.
