How to Barcode Products

To print product barcodes, you'll first need to assign a barcode to your product or products. You can do this when creating your products or after it's been added to inventory.

When creating a new product in Rentopian, you'll have the option to "Generate Barcode" which will create a unique barcode for your product. If your products have already been added to your inventory, you can add barcodes through your Inventory.

To add a barcode to an item, first click on Inventory in your main navigation menu, then select List Items.

From your inventory list, find the item you’d like to add a barcode to and click the eye icon at the end of the row.

This will open the product stock page in a popup window.

In the stock window, if you have multiple locations, you may need to select which location of the item you’d like to add. Once you have selected the location, scroll down until you find the SKU, Bin, Barcode heading under which will be the Barcode field.

When you click into the field, you will be prompted to confirm you’d like to change the barcode. In the popup window, you’ll click the red Yes, Change button.

You may either enter a barcode or select the blue Autogenerate button to have the system generate a barcode for your item. If you have purchased pre-printed barcode labels, once you select the field you can scan the barcode with your scanner and the barcode will be entered.

After you have entered or generated the barcode for your item, you’ll click the green Save & Close button.

Your item will now be connected to a scannable barcode.

To find a list of items that have been assigned barcodes, click on Inventory in your main navigation and then select Barcodes / Serial numbers.

This will show you all the items to which a barcode or serial number has been assigned. You can view each by clicking on the eye icon at the end of the row.

Printing Barcodes

To print labels with barcodes for your products, you’ll click on Products in your main navigation menu. Under Products you’ll click on the Print Barcodes option.

On the Print Barcodes page, click on the drop down option to select all the products for which you’d like to print barcode labels.

Once you have selected all the products you’d like to print barcodes for, you can choose the structure and options of your preference including the number of labels on each row. You can enter a quantity of labels for each product by clicking on the Quantity field or you can remove a product from the list by clicking on the trashcan icon.

Once you’ve made your selections, you’ll click the green Print Barcodes button. The print window will popup and you’ll be able to select the specific options of your device.
