Add or remove single Shopify variant barcodes

You can now add one barcode to a variant, or remove one, without listing every barcode the variant already has. The new Variant Barcodes Command column tells the import what to do with the barcodes in Variant Barcodes.

🚀 What’s New

#

• Variant Barcodes Command - MERGE adds the listed barcodes, DELETE removes them, and REPLACE sets the complete list (see Variant Barcodes Command).
• Exports write REPLACE - an exported file imports back without changes, because each exported cell holds every barcode of the variant.

🔧 Improvements

#

• Find variants by any barcode - Variant Barcode and Variant Barcode [ID] match any barcode of a variant, not only the first one (see variant matching).
• Match by Variant Barcodes - a row without a SKU updates the variant that has every barcode listed in the cell.
• Clear error for unknown barcodes - a row whose barcode no variant has now fails with a message that names the barcode (see PRD103).

⚠️ Heads-up

#

• MERGE is the default - in a file without the command column, Variant Barcodes now adds barcodes and no longer removes the ones you left out. Add the column with REPLACE to set the complete list.
• Variant Barcode is a legacy column - new exports can’t select it, saved export jobs keep it, and imports read it with a warning (see Variant Barcode).
