- Random: A random number will be generated as a barcode while you are adding the product
- Your barcode: Regardless of this settings, you can also enter the products barcode found in the package or enter your own barcode while adding a product
Prefix: You can add a prefix to the generated barcode. For example if the prefix is SB and the barcode is 002, the final output of the barcode will be SB002
Digits: In digits you can provide how many length your barcode should be. It you need a 6 digit barcode then enter 6. Your barcode will have 6 digits. For example if 2 is your next barcode then it will be displayed as 000002
Suffix: Like prefix, you can add a suffix to the barcode. For example if you enter suffix as NG the barcode will be displayed as 002NG and with suffix and prefix it will be displayed as SB001NG and with 6 digits, it will be displayed as SB000002NG
