Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureReceiving day should not mean retyping SKUs or giving an app write access to your catalogue. Installs read only; writes only barcodes, SKUs and stock you receive, once allowed. Scan a delivery, paste purchase order lines, upload a supplier CSV or pull a transfer, then print barcode labels and SKU labels on any label printer: Dymo labels, Avery labels, Brother labels, Zebra labels, Rollo labels, Munbyn thermal…
LabelFast prints barcode labels on the label printer you already own: DYMO and Zebra rolls, Avery sheets, round or custom sizes in mm or inches. Quantities default to your live stock on hand - pick products or scan one, and it queues a label per unit, no typing counts. Print on receiving from inventory transfers, generate missing SKUs and barcodes, and check an exact preview first.
- Read-only by design: it cannot rename a product, change a SKU or edit inventory
- Barcode geometry measured against GS1 specs and tested by decoding real output
- Print from purchase order files, Shopify transfers or hand picked products
- Eight presets for Dymo, Zebra, Brother, Avery, plus custom sizes and ZPL on Pro

- Print from your catalog, a barcode scan, or a received inventory transfer
- Avery, DYMO, Zebra, and custom sizes - with an exact preview before you print
- Eight barcode types including QR, Data Matrix, EAN, UPC, and Code 128/39
