How it works

02 / Process
Step01

Bring in your product data

Import Excel or CSV files, sync your Shopify catalog, or type items straight into the built-in item table. SKUs, names, prices, and barcode numbers land as columns you can edit in place.

Step02

Bind a barcode to your data

Drag a barcode element onto the label, pick the symbology, and link it to a data column. Each label generates the correct, scannable barcode for its row — no copy-paste, no typos.
