WooCommerce Barcode Generator Plugin Overview #
The WooCommerce barcode generator plugin provides a seamless solution for creating and managing barcodes for your products. Each barcode is linked to your product metadata and can be displayed in various locations throughout your store. The plugin is highly flexible, allowing you to decide what product data should be used to generate the barcode.
How to Set Up Product Barcodes #
Setting up product barcodes is simple and straightforward:
-
Activate the Plugin:
Once you install and activate the WooCommerce Barcode Generator plugin, barcodes will be automatically generated for all existing products using an Auto Barcode number. -
View Barcodes:
After activation, the generated barcode will be visible on the single product page for each product. -
Customize Barcode Settings:
To modify the barcode values, adjust the design, or choose which product data to use for barcode generation:-
Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
-
Navigate to the WOO Barcode plugin menu.
-
Click on the Barcode Settings tab.
-
Select Barcode Sticker #
The WooCommerce Barcode Generator plugin offers two types of barcode sticker designs for your convenience. You can easily select the one that best fits your product packaging or inventory labeling needs.
You’ll find two sticker designs available:
-
Sticker Type 1: A classic, clean layout ideal for basic product labeling.
-
Sticker Type 2: A slightly enhanced design that includes additional product details alongside the barcode.
Simply select your preferred sticker style, and it will be applied to all barcode displays and printable labels.
Tip: You can preview the designs within the settings before finalizing your choice to see which layout works best for your store.
Supported Barcode Types #
The WooCommerce Barcode Generator plugin supports 14 different barcode formats to suit various business needs and industry standards. When you activate the plugin, barcodes will be automatically generated for your products.
Important:
If your barcode number does not meet the specific requirements of a selected barcode format, the plugin will automatically default to Code 128 (Auto) to ensure the barcode is still generated and functional.
📋 Available Barcode Formats #
| Barcode Type | Description | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| CODE128 (Auto) | Works with product SKU or ID. Auto-detects and adjusts as needed. | Numeric or alphanumeric |
| EAN-13 | Standard retail barcode format used globally. | 13-digit numeric code |

| UPC | Widely used in North America for retail products. | 12-digit numeric code |
| CODE128A | Barcode for numeric-only values. | Numeric only |

Note:
For formats like EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC, and MSI variants — make sure to provide numeric codes of the correct length, including valid check digits when applicable. If your input does not meet these requirements, the plugin will automatically use CODE128 (Auto) for safe and seamless barcode generation.
Barcode Content / Value #
The WooCommerce Barcode Generator plugin gives you full control over what data is used to generate each product’s barcode. You can select from five different options based on your store setup and inventory management preferences.
This setting determines the value that will be encoded within the barcode.
