How to print Shopify barcode labels from Shopify POS

With a label app that adds a POS action, you can print a product's barcode label from its own page in Shopify POS. Mine does this (it's called AK: PO & Barcode Label Printer). This page covers turning the action on, printing from a product, and what happens on Android.

Published by Aislekit. I make a Shopify label printing app, I name it where it is relevant, and I say plainly when you do not need it.

Turn the action on once

Shopify shows an app's POS action only after the store turns it on, even with the app installed. In Shopify admin:

  1. Open Point of Sale, then Edit Point of Sale.
  2. Open the Apps icon and the app's card.
  3. Choose Activate on: Product details, then Save.

Print a product's labels in POS

  1. Open the product in Shopify POS.
  2. Tap the action that reads "Print a product's barcode label from Shopify POS."
  3. Choose how many labels, from 1 to 100.
  4. Press Print.

The labels use the label you saved in the app, so a print from POS looks the same as one from Shopify admin.

On Android

Shopify POS on Android saves the PDF to Downloads instead of opening a print window. After a few seconds the app says the labels are ready; open label.pdf from the notification or from Downloads and print it from there.

Common questions

Which label does Shopify POS print?

The label you saved in the app, with its size, its fields and its barcode, the same as a print from Shopify admin. Each print shows in the app's History.

How many labels can I print at once from POS?

From 1 to 100 labels of one product in each print.

Why did nothing print on Android?

Shopify POS on Android saves the PDF to Downloads instead of opening a print window. Open label.pdf from the notification or from Downloads and print it from there.

Does pressing Print twice count twice?

A second print of the same product and number of labels within a minute gets the same file and is not counted again.

AK: PO & Barcode Label Printer is on the Shopify App Store, and the free plan needs no card. For a whole transfer or purchase order, the guide to printing barcode labels in Shopify walks through it step by step.
