Hi, I'm brand new to Square and I'm a bit confused about bar codes.
If I order an item from a vendor and it has a barcode already generate how exactly do I add this bar code to the specific item in my inventory so that when I check out a customer I can just scan the bar code?
Go to your item library and create your new item. You can have all of the style/size/color option you want under this item as well as manage your inventory, cost of product, retail price, etc... You can manually plug in a SKU number or let Square create one for you. I have a sample shown below on some water shoes that we carry in the shop. You can see the SKU is different for each size. Then, when I am ready to print the labels, (on my dashboard) I go to Items & services > Items > Item library. Then look for the actions button in the top right and click print labels. Your screen should look like the second attached image. Choose your specific style of label and the catagory/item you want to print labels for and let Square do the rest. YOU CAN DO THIS!
Thanks! I’ll set this up and see if I have any issues.
