API FAQ

Before you build

Is this a shipping label API?

No. BarcodeMan is for product and inventory labels: SKUs, prices, barcodes, QR codes, lot numbers, bin locations, and other data from your system. It does not buy postage or create carrier shipping labels.

Do I need Shopify or Wix?

No. The API is platform-agnostic. If your application can send an HTTPS request with JSON, it can generate labels with BarcodeMan.

Do I need to design a template before my first request?

Yes. Create and save a reusable template first, then send its templateId with each print request. The visual editor can start from a paper preset and a designed layout.

Which barcode formats are supported?

BarcodeMan supports common product and inventory formats including Code 128, Code 39, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, GS1-128, ISBN, and QR codes.

Which printers can I use?

The API returns standard PDF files, so it works with thermal printers such as Zebra, Rollo, DYMO, and Brother, as well as desktop and commercial printers.
