Cloud Print Sign-in and Pairing Codes

If the Cloud Print client is asking you to sign in and you are hunting for a password, there is nothing to remember: your BarcodeMan account has no Cloud Print password. The client is linked to your store with a short-lived pairing code instead.

Get a pairing code

1. Open BarcodeMan in your store admin.
2. Go to Cloud Print settings and choose Connect a printer.
3. A pairing code appears. Keep the screen open while you finish signing in.

Use it to sign in

In the client’s sign-in screen:

• Email — your store’s email address.
• Password — the pairing code. Paste it rather than retyping it; the codes are long and easy to mistype.

Once it is accepted, the client stays linked. You will not need another code unless you reinstall the client or set up a second computer.

How long a code lasts

A pairing code expires 15 minutes after you generate it. Within that window you can use the same code more than once — handy if an installation fails halfway and you need to try again.

There is no limit on how many codes you can generate, and generating a new one does not disconnect computers that are already linked.

”Invalid or expired pairing code”

The client shows this when the code it sent was not accepted. In order of likelihood:

1. It expired. More than 15 minutes passed between generating and signing in. Generate a new one.
2. It was mistyped or partly copied. Copy the code again and paste the whole thing.
3. It came from a different store. If you run more than one store, make sure the code was generated in the same store you want this printer to serve.

Still stuck

If a fresh code is still rejected, or Cloud Print settings does not offer you a code at all, check that your store is on the Cloud Print plan — the connect flow is only available on that tier. If it is and the code still fails, email us at hi@gookit.co with the store name and roughly when you tried, and we will look it up.
