Barcode Printing
What browser do you recommend for viewing and printing barcodes?
Google Chrome or Safari Browser.
Can I bulk-generate barcodes for multiple items?
Yes, you can bulk-generate barcodes for selected inventory items by selecting your Inventory items and clicking 'Print Barcodes'
What size labels are recommended?
We recommend using labels that are 2.625" x 1" for the best performance with barcode scanning.
If you're using a standard printer:
Use A4 or Letter-size sticky label sheets.
Look for templates like Avery 5160 or Avery 8160.
⚠️ Avoid using plain printer paper unless you're just testing—labels are much easier to apply and last longer.

Why can I only print as many labels as I have in my inventory?
To keep your barcodes accurate and prevent duplicates, Goodshuffle Pro limits label printing to the quantity currently in your inventory. For example, if you have 5 chairs in inventory, you'll only be able to print 5 barcode labels for that item. This ensures:
Each item has a unique and scannable barcode.
You don’t accidentally over-label or mislabel items.
Your inventory stays in sync with physical assets.
⚠️Need more labels? You’ll need to update your inventory quantity first.
Barcode Linking & Scanning
Can I link an existing barcode to an item?
No, every scannable barcode must come from the Goodshuffle Pro system
Can I use my mobile device to scan and link barcodes?
Yes! You can use your phone or tablet’s camera to scan and link barcodes to inventory items—no additional hardware required. For quick access, we recommend bookmarking the mobile scanning tool to your home screen.
What happens when I scan a barcode?
You’ll be instantly redirected to that item’s page in Goodshuffle Pro.
Depending on your user seat from there, you can:
Move your item through the necessary fulfillment stages.
View item details, including availability and notes. Learn more about scanning during check-in
Can I undo a check-in or check-out action?
Yes, users (excluding read-only users) can undo a previous check-in/out action.
Does scanning an item update the project audit log?
Yes! Whenever you check an item in or out by scanning, that action is automatically recorded in the project’s audit log and scanning logs.
Is there an app I can use to scan?
There’s no separate app to download, but you can easily scan using your phone’s camera.
How can I make it so the camera opens automatically without needing to approve?

iPhone (Safari):
Settings > Safari > Camera > Allow.
Or tap “aA” > Website Settings > Allow Camera Access.
Android (Chrome):
