Key Features

What It Does

Bulk Barcode Creator & Generator turns any column into a live barcode engine.

For each selected row, the add-on:

• Reads spreadsheet values

• Merges dynamic {{Column Names}} into barcode text

• Calls a secure barcode API

• Inserts a generated barcode image directly into the sheet

• Skips rows already processed

• Logs row-level errors clearly

Every row becomes a scannable barcode image inside Google Sheets™.

Dynamic Merge Field Engine

Use merge fields like:

{{Email}}
{{Order ID}}
{{SKU}}
{{Customer Name}}

The add-on automatically:

• Detects sheet headers

• Normalizes empty headers as Column A, Column B, etc.

• Handles duplicate headers safely using indexed naming

• Replaces merge fields per row dynamically

Each barcode can contain personalized data pulled directly from your sheet.

Automatic Target Column Management

Smart Column Creation

No manual preparation required.

If the target barcode column does not exist, the add-on:

• Inserts a new column automatically

• Creates the header safely

• Writes barcode images into the correct rows

Existing values are never overwritten unless empty, preventing accidental duplicates.

Professional Barcode Customization

Includes powerful, production-ready barcode configuration controls — giving you full flexibility without technical complexity.

You can fine-tune:

• Check Digits
  Automatically calculate verification numbers and choose whether they appear in the readable text below the barcode.

• Input Processing
  Control how your spreadsheet data is interpreted before generating the barcode, ensuring special characters and structured values are handled correctly.

• Symbol Dimensions
  Adjust the overall size of the barcode, including its height and width, to fit labels, packaging, or documents.

• Print Optimization
  Fine-tune how the barcode renders for different printers and materials to improve scan reliability and visual clarity.

• Text Appearance
  Choose whether readable text appears below the barcode and customize its font, size, spacing, alternative display text, and additional descriptive lines.

• Text Positioning
  Control where text appears in relation to the barcode, including alignment, direction, and precise positioning adjustments.

• Borders and Framing
  Add borders or protective bars around the barcode and control their thickness and placement for compliance or design purposes.

• Colors
  Customize barcode bars, background, borders, and text colors to match branding or printing requirements.

• EAN and UPC Enhancements
  Support retail barcode formats with add-on codes, guard bars, and spacing controls required for store-ready labeling.

All of this customization happens directly inside Google Sheets™, allowing you to produce compliant, brand-aligned, and scan-optimized barcodes without technical setup.
