Barcodes when Adding new product in Woocommerce

thechangingroom

I have bought the Barcode Pro plugin and been to setting selecting EAN13 barcodes. First, will the barcodes be generated automatically? When I go to Add a new product, it says in the top right corner "No barcode available" How do I activate barcodes for new products?

Hi thechangingroom

The barcodes are not generated automatically. At least not for products.
You must fill out the barcode field, and it will be displayed.
You have the documentation here:

Salva Thank you. So, all I get in Barcodes Pro is a couple of extra fields? I have to manually go and select Barcode Type for all products? Isn't there away to select Barcode Type once and for all? If I go to ATUM Inventory and Stock Central, there is an option to edit barcodes. Can I enter barcodes that way (without having defined barcode type)?

Hi thechangingroom

Barcodes PRO adds many features that are not in the free version (Barcode images, searching by barcode, barcodes for Orders, Purchase Orders, Inventory Logs, and many more).

There is a tool in ATUM Settings >> Tools named "Convert barcodes from 3rd party plugins", but this is if you already have barcodes from other plugins saved in your database as meta keys; it allows you to convert them.

I have to manually go and select Barcode Type for all products? Isn't there away to select Barcode Type once and for all?

Sure. You can preset this globally. Did you read all the docs?

If I go to ATUM Inventory and Stock Central, there is an option to edit barcodes. Can I enter barcodes that way (without having defined barcode type)?

Sure. This is also explained in the article I sent you in my last message, right?
Please note that the barcode you enter is just a couple of numbers. If you later change the barcode type, the images will change everywhere, but the inherent barcode will be the same.

If you have further questions, please let me know.

Best regards,
