I plan to make a shorter version of this video for people who want to get straight to the point, I had no idea soo many people would find this video helpful and never thought it would get all these views 😮 I’m still very new to making UA-cam videos I’m my opinion I’m no pro by any means and this specific video was just me being me and I was pumped to figure out how to make barcodes myself!
Eff those ungrateful bastards! You did great! The video was only 8 minutes
Hello I'm going to give it a try❤ do you have another version?is the generator website actually free?
What do you use to scan the bar code?
@@user-fy5pd1px4p any bar code scanner should do the trick
I really like how you explain. I'm trying to register barcodes for a moulding company and I didn't know you could DIY. Thank you for creating this awesome video
I am so glad I found this site. Excellent explanation on making barcodes from scratch. Absolutely the best video out there for this project. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for help . I like how you speak and explain. It’s super easy to understood from people who doesn’t speak English well as me .
I understand you so good thanks 😊
Thank you very much, im starting my small retail business and you explained this very easily and detailed!

This video is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!
Great, thank you. Your video make all my stressful things blow away.😁😁
You just earned the GOLDEN THUMB from me for this video.tutorial.
Excellent video, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for taking the time to make it!
This video was so helpful for me. I want to use barcodes to keep track of my reselling inventory. I am familiar with Avery products and have some of their labels already, which will save money as well. Most of my inventory is homemade items; so generating my own barcode system is essential. Thank you.
Small business owner here. Thank You !!!
Thanks a lot for taking this much effort. learnt something helpful from it, God bless you.

Which checkout/cashier app you use to read the barcodes for selling?
I appreciate this video 😉
Thanks for the video 👍👍👍
Thanks so very helpful!!!
1000th like KEEP GOING 🥳
Thank you for the simplicity tutorial. My only question is is there only certain POS it will work with? 4:56
I’m not sure but it should scan in to any POS just like any other barcode would
Just came across your video. Luv it. Question - how do your barcode works. Do it have your price in it already? Getting started n my own business n I wanted to know. I also know that u recorded this way over a year ago. Thks n advance.
This works for wholesale of homemade products? Not used to seeing a barcode without number
Thanks...we edit it on Photoshop for stickers print.. it will work ?
Only video I could find on this! Ty
You’re soo welcome!! Hope it helps
Thank you so much for sharing:)))
Great video. Thanks
Good info. I assume this can be done with standard home printers?
Great knowledge sharing, can it be scanned by an ordinary scanner?
Thank you, it's very helpful! 1. Can I make any barcode I want? With any numbers & letters? Will any scanner be able to read the letter as well? 2. Also, how do I know if someone else is using the same number for their own product?
Thank you for this
Hi, I want to use Bar code scanner for my production department to show where an item is (for ex. from one station to another station) I want to know if I create this, what program i need to have in order to see each scan.
Im not sure, sorry I cant be more helpful. I think you would just need to research what different types of software would do
This is helpful to see thank you , my parents have a plant nursery and would love to implement some kind of barcode solution - but does anyone know a way that creating a barcode like this with say a price can then be scanned to simply add up a total of goods purchased.
Currently prices are just on the plants and we have to manually add up in our heads to get the total - when we are busy this is a slow method and errors can be made.
Would love to see a solution or a way to do this - we take cash only so not linked to any fancy online application .. it needs to be simple for my parents !!
Scan a code and it keeps adding a value !
Hope that makes sense
hOW can I then use barcode to count inventory ..Can i make an excel sheet or is there a better way? I drop items to sell at store but I have to take my own inventory...I have been just writing everything down ....which is sooo time comsuming and I am sure I am missing something .Thanks
I haven’t actually use the barcodes yet to track inventory or to add inventory but I will try that and see if I can get it to work on my Square system because yes that would be a lot easier than going into each item and just adding the inventory that’s what I currently do
Oh Thanks Jesus
It’s so helpful.
To find great think for free for small business with small budget.
Can you please tell me what paper you use to print them out ? Is it A4 printer paper or a specific one ? If a specific one let the link in your response please
Thanks
Hi, thank you for your insights to barcode. As a new kid on the block for web stuff, can I make barcodes for my books I am creating? Would amazon or other platform be able to scan them or its just your own scanning for your own shop products?
No problem ! Glad you found the video helpful. You would probably need one of the actual UPC barcodes for that
u asome helped me so much
Your very welcome
Thanks girl!!!
Awesome video I have the Clover POS does it work for that and what machine can I use and paper to print myself?
I’m sure it would work with clover I don’t see why it wouldn’t. Any computer printer will work and you would use any sizes label you like I personally prefer the Avery brand and the free design software on their website to make your own label.
I went to barcode generator but the when I push create barcode it says invalid input
can you be sure these are unique barcodes, just to be sure it don't get confused with other products?
How do you tie up the barcode to have a set price of your product. The video shows how to make a barcode but I want to know about intergrating the barcode to all of my inventory. Could you help me?
Are use square POS so to set a price to the barcode I go into the item and scan that barcode where it says SKU and then save it. I can have one SKU in the system per item. I can have one SKU in the system per item. On the item page the price is also put in there and saved on a separate line where it says price.
Thank you queen
This is great! How do you add both a price & to your barcode? So when you scan it it adds the price & stores the product?
I’m not sure how to do that I use Square point of cell so with each item that’s in the computer you type in the item name and price and then under the SKU that’s where I scan the barcode and it automatically as long as it’s in my computer system. It automatically puts it in their cart for the right price, it only works for items that are sold by the pound . These are not price computing barcodes.
Thank you so so much
You are wonderful!
Thank you
Where does the price go and how does your system recognize the price when you scan
Great video, just a quick question. What type of scanning system do you need to be able to use these type of barcodes if that makes sense? I'm really early in my research so I'm just trying to save as much money as possible as a small business owner as well.
I use the square register in my store and a compatible scanner for the register. I also have square cash out app on an iPad that is compatible with a different scanner. It works great!
@@HLFARM oh OK thank you so much
@@willimenaisleris-ler4373 you could use any software that you like and while your adding or editing the item that you sell into the program there should always be a SKU line that you would click on and thats where you scan the item to enter the items barcode into your program
thank you for the video.
Has anyone had issues with creating this code 128? It doesn’t even show me, just invalid input on a Preview Barcode. I have no idea what’s wrong.
Great video! How do I get the codes to link with Square POS?
All you do is open up the item as if you’re editing the item in your system, and where it says, sku scan the barcode that you want to use for that item, and then save to make sure it works, scan the barcode and see if the item was added to the checkout
Which app or software you are using for?
thanx for figuring it all out for us "computer dummies" lol.
I was curious...once you're set with your barcodes and labeled them on your items...then what do you do? What program, and scanner system do you use? does this work with Square?
Thank you and you’re welcome. The software that I use is square point-of-sale.
Hai. By the way, does it show the price or just the name when you scan it
Great video. It not working for so far. I can make print barcodes for my honey but the grocery store where I'm selling my honey can't read them. They said they use upc-12. I can find upc-a and upc-e but neither will print. Says it is invalid.
Those types of barcodes may need to be purchased I’m not 100 percent sure
Thank you for this video! But, how can someone add "Price" and "Description" of the Product to the barcode label for scanning? Help!!!🙏🙏🙏
I’m not sure how to do that I use Square point of cell so with each item that’s in the computer you type in the item name and price and then under the SKU that’s where I scan the barcode and it automatically as long as it’s in my computer system.

How do u add a price ,so when u scan the barcode the price appears on a screen
Hi, this is a great video! I am a small business owner and am in 5 small owned health food stores and sell online. The newest store I am getting into said I need to have a barcode. Can I use this kind of barcode and put it on my product and mail it to them and it will work for their scanners? I am really new to this and am having a hard time finding the info about that specifically. Thank you so much for your time and great video!
Thank you The barcode will work on your system once you put it in as the SKU for the item but it may not work for whoever else is selling your product unless they scan it and input it in their system as the barcode for that product that’s what I do if I’m selling things that I don’t make I buy them at wholesaleand I put a barcode on it to sell it here
Does the name show the price of the product? I thought I’m supposed to register it with the price or something
Thank you! :)
how to make it so that each label has number? for example, if I have 1000 number of barcodes labels, what can I do so that each label can count start from 1 to 1000?
I’m sorry I don’t know if that is possible or not
Thanks so much
hi, how are you today. i live in lagos , Nigeria. i have watched your video like ten times. i have tried to create my barcode as you instructed but it did not work. i am frustrated. is there anything I am doing wrong
THIS IS GREAT but my NEW Square Scan gun did not recognize it, iust wouldn't read it. I can scan almost anything that comes into my store, even a 7-11 coffee (of course it says it doesnt recognize it bc its not in my system) but damn it wont read these. ANY suggestions? I am in your boat with square I do not want to pay them uggg. I even bought these 8167 bc of your awesome video, help!
If it can’t ready the barcode it’s usually because the lines are too close together for that item or any item that won’t read, redo the barcode, but use a shorter word for generating the barcode
@@HLFARM THANK YOU ILL TRY
Wonderful and simple video BUT I must say this may have some misunderstanding. If you create your own barcode in this way that does NOT mean that somehow that magically puts that info into the PoS system. For example, at most major retailers, we are all used to the UPC barcode system. That stands for universal product code, which is a predetermined preestablished code. That means if Walmart scans the PC or Crookers scans, the PC comes back with the same information. But how is it that if the prices are different at those two retailers That the system is able to differentiate well that’s because there are certain edible fields with UPC’s that tie in with the POS system of that particular retailer. So what I’m saying is is if you create this barcode, you are only giving it a name basically and that is not the entire picture to create What you are thinking or what you may be thinking you’re creating.
What other steps or program do you need to set a price on your product once you scan it?
I use Square for my point of sale
Thank you
So when you scan it, how does it know what the price to give you for that label?
These barcodes are for something that has a fixed price not some thing that’s priced by the pound. So you would just put the barcode in as the SKU for the item and then type in the price of the specific item and then every time you scan that barcode it will show up in the cart of your point of sale as the item and the right price
Nice
Hey! Great video and explanation, it’s my first time doing it… Can u help me on getting the info about the product in? For example I want to show the price and description of the product, how do I do that? Appreciate your help you’re awesome!
Just to clarify, I want to show it when it’s being scanned… I am selling a product to a supermarket, we create the products but we don’t have that barcode reader and so on so I just want to make sure when they scan it it will show everything
Thank you 😊 I only use these barcodes for square point of sale. Do you want text on the printed label ? Showing the item name and price? If so just make the text whatever you want it to say.. you could also use a different sized Avery label if you need to be able to fit more text on the label
Oh ok sorry I didn’t see your other comment. That would be a different type of barcode you would need a UPC Universal product code
Try barcode.tec-it.com you can generate a UPC there
How to create barcode with price listed on it?
I’m trying to make barcodes following your every steps but the preview always says invalid input how do I move past that? I’m in South Africa
I’m not sure 🤔
Are you still able to use this website? It isn't working for me. I tried two different browsers.
Yes I am still able to use that site
Can I number the barcode
So what do you use to scan the barcodes with?
A barcode scanner, whichever one is compatible with your point of sale system
How do you use this bar code in square? When I scan it, it is not coming up
@@julieflynn4540 does is say the scanner can’t read it?
what kind of barcode scanner do u use?! and card reader. thank you
I am currently using the Square Register and one of the 3-4 compatible barcode scanners listed on their site. Card reader in included on the register. I actually bought the register on fb marketplace at a cheaper price and it was brand new un opened I think possibly renewed I can’t remember but it was around $550 for that and the scanner for it was about $30-40
squareup.com/us/en/hardware/register
I bought the compatible scanner from Amazon
Nice job, but does the barcodes like be different or they all gonna be the same barcode?
Doing it this way all the barcodes are the same for each item they’re not price computing barcodes
Do you have to do one type or bar code on one page or can you do different barcodes on the same page
You would probably have to print all the same label on one sheet
I select print, then I chose how many and where I wanted them printed, so you can print only 3 or 4. For example if you want 4 of them, print them on box 1-4, then if you want 4 different ones you print them in boxes 5-8
The site you use doesn't seem to work. Bar code doesn't seem to change and screen seems frozen. Being done on a Mac so wouldnt surprise me.
Sorry to hear that maybe try another device it works on my hp desktop. Hope that helps
I have home made produce and I want to sell it, but I don’t know where from start, can you please give me some advice step by steps? Thanks
Create a product label first and then you can put the barcode image directly onto your product label so it’s all in one on type products
but how do i set price , all i se is barcode but no price ????
This video is for making a barcode for items that I have in my store to be able to scan them but if I go into the item description on the square POS that description page is where I put the price
It's been a year, have you run into any issues? You don't have a company prefix on those codes. What prevents another company from having the exact code you have? Thank you for your video. ❤
Your welcome! I haven’t ran into any issues because the barcodes are only for the things I sell in my personal farm store, if I bring in products or make products that need a barcode I generate one. If I get things that already have a barcode then I just use that barcode. But these codes probably wouldn’t work for major retailers with products being distributed in multiple places.
@@HLFARM thank you
Thank you and your very pretty 😍 💕
Thank you
Good afternoon, am a castor oil maker from Jamaica and am considering going on Amazon, my question is can this barcode be used internationally or is it just for small businesses.
I don’t think this specific barcode would work for you but it might
@@HLFARM thanks
i cant get my square to add this barcode to my inventory :(
Is it just not reading it? Maybe the lines are too close together and you can make the barcode using a shorter word it will make the barcode more legible for the reader
i visited that website but the barcode is showing invalid input
same here. Did you ever figure out the issue?
Which type of printer do you use?
I have the Epson eco-tank 2720 and I LOVE it!
Can you make over 1000 of those?
are these codes recognizable nationally
No
How do you add price?
I think you would need a price computing barcode but I’m not sure
But how to set price in there
This type of barcode doesn’t have a price that has to be manually put into your POS system per item
