What it does
Matching a printed ticket, packing slip or reservation to the right order can get slow and error prone when you rely on order numbers alone. This plugin attaches a distinct barcode to each order placed in your WooCommerce store, so every purchase has an identifier you can scan. It requires WooCommerce and works inside your existing store setup, with barcode viewing, printing and management handled from the WooCommerce admin.
You can choose from five barcode formats, including QR codes, to suit your scanning devices. The barcode is sent to the customer by email, where they can print it or show it on a phone. On your end, the built-in scanner lets you look up and complete orders or verify check-ins. It also works with WooCommerce Bookings to add ticketing to bookings, and it supports WooCommerce High Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
Best for
- Online stores selling e-tickets for events
- Businesses taking bookings with WooCommerce Bookings
- Shops that want barcodes on packing slips
