Add a Customization Suite for Barcode Label Creation

As it is, as far as I can find, you can add or remove very rudimentary information on printed barcodes that are largely decided by the size of the labels you are printing.

 

A customization tool to have greater control over what our barcodes look like would be amazing. Some locations might need to focus more on nomenclature, while others may need the price to really pull through.

 

In my opinion, the default layout of the barcodes is unattractive, and I would very much like to change it without having to export data, pay for an expensive application from my barcode printer manufacturer, and print using a third party. Most of my employees are older and less tech-savvy, so it unfortunately isn't a viable option for me, personally. I know that Square intends to be a one-stop-shop for handling our businesses, and I think this is an area that Square is sorely lacking, and could be remedied without very much resource allocation.

We would love to see more options for labels- including the option to select other types of labels. We use Dymo and most of the sizes we use do not exist in Square. 

Chiming in to request label customization. My frustration around the labels has me honestly contemplating switching point of sale systems. Talking with friends who own retail businesses and learning about their switches to much better POS that offer more user friendly options, has me ready to do the big leap at the end of my season. The lack of logo on the label is my breaking point. Please fix this basic marketing need Square.

Also desperately need to be able to print custom label sizes through Square, as we must use non-standard sticker sheets for a weather-resistant finish (garden store). Also seriously considering another POS because of this limitation.

 

We need the ability to print custom labels through Square.  We need to be able to change the font size and  we also need to be able to print on a label size that is not currently shown in the Square options.  

Easy Label App at Square has  the ability to print labels with your store name and font size you selected.

Please check it out.

This would be greatly appreciated.
Square users can add elements for all labels (ex. Branding), and/o special notes for certain labels (ex. Final Sale).

It would be nice if we could save templates for repeated use.

As it's 2025, may I know whether there is any update/process on this topic?

 

I tried to search the Square documents, but only found this https://squareup.com/help/us/en/article/6831-how-to-print-item-labels, and it still does't mention how to customize the format.
