WooCommerce Order Barcodes adds one scannable barcode to each WooCommerce order and delivers it through order emails and the customer account area. It can support e-tickets, reservations, packing slips, and fulfillment workflows, with five barcode formats and an on-site scanning form.

Overview
WooCommerce Order Barcodes is designed for stores that need to connect a physical or digital scan with an existing WooCommerce order. A code is generated for new orders, appears in order emails and the customer account area, and can also be viewed from the dashboard. That makes the extension a plausible fit for event check-in, reservations, printed order paperwork, and warehouse-style order lookup without introducing a separate ticketing platform. The scanning workflow needs careful planning. An administrator must place the provided shortcode on a page, and the scan form is restricted by the manage_woocommerce capability by default. The form can look up an order, complete it, check it in, or check it out, while AJAX actions avoid a full page reload. However, the documentation explains that phone-based scanning generally involves a separate scanning app that enters the code into the form; the extension is therefore not the same as a fully integrated camera-scanning interface. Before purchase, confirm that the chosen barcode format matches the hardware: Code 39, Code 93, and Code 128 are documented for standard USB scanners, while Data Matrix and QR Code are intended for digital scanners and mobile devices. Also test email and print rendering, image optimization settings, permissions, and any booking or ticketing extensions on staging.
Generates a unique barcode for each newly placed WooCommerce order, including orders created manually in the dashboard.
Adds the order barcode to order emails and the customer’s WooCommerce account order-details area, where it can be printed.
Supports five barcode formats: Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, Data Matrix, and QR Code.
Provides an on-site scanning form using the [scan_barcode] shortcode.
Allows authorized users to look up an order, complete it, check it in, or check it out after scanning.
Uses AJAX for scan actions, so the page does not reload between barcode operations.
Lets store owners view existing barcodes from the order edit screen and generate a barcode for an older order when its dashboard order page is opened.
