Printing price labels straight from a purchase order
Updated 15 August 2026
This is the job Stocky did that merchants mention most often when discussing its replacement: receive a delivery, press one button, and get a label for every unit that arrived.
Why the obvious workaround hurts
Shopify can print barcode labels through a labels app, but that app does not know what you just received. So the sequence becomes: receive the delivery in one place, then retype or re-select the same SKUs in another place to print.
“in order to print labels you then have to duplicate your work and enter the skus again into the retail barcode app”
What the workflow should look like
- Receive the delivery, entering the quantity that actually turned up and the price you actually paid.
- The label run is scoped to that receipt: six units received means six labels, not one per ordered unit.
- Print a sheet directly, or export a CSV that Dymo and Zebra software both read, with title, variant, SKU, barcode and retail price.
- Partial deliveries print only what arrived; the rest prints when the backorder lands.
A note on hardware
You do not need new printers. Merchants who already print from a Dymo LabelWriter or a Zebra desktop printer keep using them: a CSV export drops into the label software you have, and the printable sheet works on any office printer for shelf-edge labels.
Questions
- Does it print one label per unit?
- Yes. Six units received produce six labels. You can also print the whole order rather than a single receipt if you prefer to label in advance.
- Which printers are supported?
- Any printer your label software already drives. The CSV export is a plain file with title, variant, SKU, barcode and price columns, which Dymo and Zebra software import directly.
