Hey @ChristianWatts, thank you for your post! This is a great question. 

To set up sticky label printing, you will need:

1. Star Micronics TSP654IISK or Star Micronics TSP654SK. This USB or ethernet liner-free thermal label printer is compatible with 40mm, 58mm, or 80mm (default) paper.
2. A compatible iOS or Android device, including Square Stand, Square Register or a compatible iOS or Android device with Square Reader. Note: Check your device compatibility before purchasing the label printer.

To Print your Sticky Label:

1. To create your own professional sticky labels directly on the Square Point of Sale app:
2. Tap the three horizontal lines.
3. Tap Settings > Hardware > Printers > Create Printer Station.
4. Tap Printer and select your Star TSP654IISK or TSP654SK label printer.
5. Under the section "Use this printer for", toggle on in-person order tickets.
6. Turn on Single item per ticket. Note: You can select Compact Ticket to save paper.

Thank you Sklyer for your answer. 
My question was “how do I print barcode labels” for my in store products (the products that are on display)

I currently have a store that has over 500 products on display, but I am unable to print price labels from my dashboard.

does anyone in Spain print “price labels” for their in store products ?

Ah, gotcha @ChristianWatts, thanks for the clarification. So at the moment, we don't facilitate printing barcode labels. But I think it's a great idea, so I'll be sure to pass your feedback on to our team for better visibility. 

Let me know if you need anything else!

[ChristianWatts]

Why don’t you facilitate printing barcode labels ?

Every shop that has products on the shelf needs to have a price label (so customers can see how much the product is). 

your “Spanish” square webs page clearly states that “barcode printing” is available in spain

so I suggest that someone sorts out this problem very soon. 😊.

Please see the link below, that clearly states it is the law to display prices for products in shops in Spain

Hey @ChristianWatts, apologies I am mistaken. The resource I was looking at was outdated. Yes, it is possible to print barcode labels, but you will need to use Square for Retail Plus. 

To start printing barcode labels from your Square for Retail dashboard:

1. Sign in to Items & Orders > Items section of your online Square Dashboard > Actions.
2. Click Print Labels.
3. Select a label type and location.
4. Choose to print labels by Category, Purchase Order or Product.
5. Click Create > download or print labels.
6. Select Done.

By downloading the labels to your computer, you’re able to revisit the file to print more labels in the future, as well as send the file to another computer.

Note: Barcode label printing is not available with Square for Retail Free.

I have square for retail plus - the option (as per your instructions) does not exist. 
I have emailed/spoken to people in Spain/Uk/us. Yet NOBODY has resolved my problem !!!!

do you work for square ?

Hi @ChristianWatts, just taking over from Skyler here. 

Apologies for any confusion caused. I can confirm that barcode label printing is not yet supported in Spain. 

Our team are hoping to have this feature available in the next few months but I don't have a set timeline at the moment. 

Thanks for bearing with us. 

[ChristianWatts]

Hi Breffni, to be totally honest. 
the service/support from Square is an utter disgrace.

I have a shop in Gandia that has over 500 products in (that have no prices on display).. which is a legal requirement in Spain (and most of the world).

you say “thanks for bearing with us” - what are my options ?

I would really like to speak with someone at Square (not customer support), but the people who are in charge of what is required for a POS system to function properly for a shop.

I have many issues with the aqua system, and to be honest I wish I had NEVER purchased it !!!!

Putting price labels in my shop is a MUST, yet you “don’t support that at the moment”

I am truly lost for words !!!

[Breffni]

Thanks for coming back to me @ChristianWatts. 

It is noted in our available features that barcode printing is not yet available, but I understand that as a retail business, you would consider this a given, so I completely understand your frustration. 

Our product teams do monitor these threads and as I mentioned we are hoping to be able to offer barcode printing soon but due to external setbacks, it isn't currently available.

Apologies for the mistake in the article @ChristianWatts, I have flagged it to the appropriate team. 

I would refer to this page for the time being. 

[ChristianWatts]

Really ?

does anyone know what they are doing at Square ?
