Inefficient barcode label printing for POS and Purchase Orders
Merchants struggle with printing barcode labels for received stock, often relying on external tools like Excel or Word due to a lack of native Shopify support for various printer types and templates. The sunsetting of the Stocky app is creating a critical gap in the ability to print labels directly from Purchase Orders, forcing users into manual, repetitive workflows.

One of the best features of stocky is that you can print dymo barcode labels DIRECTLY from the Purchase orders in stocky .
I ended up using Microsoft Word and Excel to print labels for my store after migrating.
Stocky is currently the only quick way to create barcode labels for incoming stock for POS locations.
Shopify should have a way to chose multiple printers and associated Label Template.
in order to print labels you then have to duplicate your work and enter the skus again into the retail barcode app in order to print everything on the PO
