See every featureBarcode Generator helps merchants quickly create and manage barcodes and QR codes for their Shopify products. It simplifies inventory organization, product labeling, and scanning workflows without requiring external tools. Merchants can generate standard-compliant barcodes for individual products or variants and download them for printing on labels, packaging, or in-store use.
The QR code IS the product — instead of black-and-white patterns. QRKY embeds your actual product photo inside the QR code, making it instantly recognizable and worth scanning. Change the URL without reprinting — QRKY uses short-code redirects so merchants can update the destination any time — fix a broken link, swap a seasonal campaign, redirect to a sale — without touching a single label.

- Create QR codes linked to product pages or custom URLs
- Fully embedded inside Shopify Admin
- Turn any picture into a QR code - not just a logo in the center
- Change the scan destination at any time
- Track scans in real time with location (city, state, country) information
