Stackably prints price tags, shelf labels and barcode stickers on the Sunmi 80mm label printer. You add the printer once in Shop+ Settings, build a label template in the Inventory Hub, and print a label for each product. Each label carries a barcode or QR code of the product's SKU, so the item can be scanned at checkout.

Which terminals work with the label printer

  • The label printer can be added to the P3 MIX, T3 and D3 Pro.

  • The P3H does not support add-on accessories, so it cannot use a label printer.

  • The Sunmi 80mm label printer prints receipts, labels and linerless labels. Product details: Sunmi 80mm Label Printer.

Stackably support normally adds and links the printer to your account before your hardware ships. The steps below are for adding one yourself or checking its settings.

Step 1: Add the label printer

  1. In the left sidebar click Shop+, then click Settings in the top row of tabs.

  2. In the Settings sidebar, expand POS, expand Hardware, and click Devices.

  3. Click Add New Device and choose Label Printer as the device type, then click the printer model (choose Others if it is not listed).

  4. Fill in the form:

    • Device Name, for example Label Printer.

    • Connection Type, and IP Address / Queue and MAC Address if it is on the network.

    • Label Size: 40x30mm, 50x30mm, 50x40mm, 60x40mm, 80x50mm, Linerless 80mm or Custom. Pick the size of the label roll in the printer.

    • Copies, Enable Printer and any Notes.

  5. Click Add Device. The printer appears in the Connected Devices list with its own code.

Step 2: Make sure your products have SKUs

Labels encode the product's SKU, and the scanner matches on the SKU at checkout. Give every product, and every size or colour variant, its own SKU before printing. See Variant stock, SKUs and images and Product form extras: Add by UPC and SKU.

Step 3: Create a label template

  1. Go to Shop+ › Products › Inventory and click Labels in the Inventory Hub sidebar.

  2. Click New Template (or Create Template if you have none yet).

  3. Enter a Template Name, for example "Shelf label 50 x 30".

  4. Choose the Code Type: Barcode (SKU) for price tags scanned at the register, or QR Code (SKU).

  5. Upload a PDF Template: a single-page PDF at the exact size of your label, matching the Label Size you chose for the printer, with your logo and any fixed text already on it.

  6. Click Continue and position the code on the page, then save the template.

Step 4: Print the labels

The template produces a printable PDF with one product per page, each page carrying that product's code. Print the PDF to the label printer, and each page comes out as one label.

Tips

  • Print labels when you receive new stock, so items are ready to scan before they reach the shelf.

  • Test-scan the first label at the register before printing a full run.

  • If a scanned label does not find the product, check the product's SKU matches what is on the label. See Barcode scanning at checkout.
