There is no way that I can find to change the size of label for printing barcodes.
I have a dymo 450 label printer (as recomended by yourselves). However there only seems to be 1 label option (Dymo 1933085 LW Durable 19mm x 64mm). How do I use a different size??

Alternatively if you don't have bar codes (some of my stock didn't) I just found 'stuff' that i do not sell and adopted the bar codes from them!

The issue @Artcetera is running into though is they donโt know what format the barcodes are in, thus canโt go ahead and create them. Plus I imagine the label sizes currently are too big, which is the case for us with jewellery and stuff in our gift shop.

This is exactly the point @artizansty. I've done a full stock check, devised a system for assigning a unique SKU to each item, and would like the barcode to reflect the SKU that I've assigned. If I knew the format for encoding the barcode, e.g. EAN, UPC, CODE-128 etc, I'd be able to put something together in vba that would allow me to print sheets of barcodes to apply to my stock and be certain that they'd work withe the square platform.
While @Electricalshop has found a nifty workaround that works for them, I don't want to be pinching a barcode off a tin of beans for every item that comes in!
@tranguyen can you help?

I am in the same boat. I purchased the dymo printer from Square, the labels are too big for our products. I switched to the Avery option, the labels are tiny and also not available in the UK. Iโve managed to get some from Amazon but really expensive, coming from US.
Iโve purchased the monthly square retail subscription, the barcode hand scanner & barcode printerโฆ itโs very frustrating that it isnโt working out. Is there anything else that works with it that i can try?

Unfortunately weโre stuck with the ruddy label size options if you want to use square (itโs a shame companies that seem so great in so many ways always end up being US-centric. Iโm currently using auto purchase orders and even though everything is set up for ยฃ, it auto created them in USD!)
The only suggestion I have is to use Avery Design & Print, which will let you create barcodes for label sizes that are more affordable to get in the UK (Iโve also got the same Avery labels from Amazon it sounds like, and theyโre very exy!)
Hopefully one day Square builds compatibility with a wider set of label sizes, but I wouldnโt count on it being in the next few years given the way some of the threads on here read with zero progress being made for long periods of time ๐

I'm curious (seeing as Square have apparently given up trying to support this) do you now have a working system for creating barcodes that your Square terminal will recognise? If so, what format do you use to translate a SKU to a barcode?
Thanks in advance,
Tim

It all comes down to what scanner youโre using. If you have the LS2208, itโll read most standard barcode formats. So - if you sell products that have their own barcodes, simply type that barcode number into the SKU field in Square, and itโll recognise it when you scan it. If you want to create your own barcodes, use software that creates barcodes in one of the formats your scanner can read. Typically, itโll be UPC or EAN. I sell jewellery that doesnโt have their own barcodes, so I make up whatever I like, and I mix alpha and numeric. So eg barcodes are ART37192. I just use the Square โcreate labelsโ functionality and the Avery labels from the US
Hope that helps?
