Guide: Generating Barcodes

Follow the steps below to generate a Barcode

NOTE - if you have a Delivery Method with Print Rules set up, you do not have to use Generate Barcode (in the Manage Transaction menu) on a Transaction unless you want to generate a new Barcode. The Print Rules on an Event will generate Barcodes automatically.

NOTE - two Print Rules settings affect Barcodes: Barcode Format, which sets the type of Barcode generated, and Wait for external barcode before emailing tickets, which holds Ticket emails until an imported Barcode is in place.


Generate Barcode

  1. Open the Transaction, click Manage Transaction and then Generate Barcode

    NOTE - the Transaction Status (shown to the top right of the items in the Transaction Details drawer) must show as Complete for this option to be available

  2. On the pop-up, click Yes and the Barcode will be generated or regenerated

  3. To send the new Barcode to the Customer, click the Email shortcut button on the Transaction and follow the steps in Guide: Download & Resend Tickets. Make sure to choose the Delivery Method which has the correct Ticket Template attached

To generate Barcodes for every Transaction in an Order at once, open the Order Details View, click Manage Order and then Generate Barcode. This works in the same way and applies to the whole Order.
