2D Barcode Support

EAN for WooCommerce Pro takes barcode functionality a step further by offering comprehensive support for 2D barcodes alongside traditional 1D barcodes.

This allows you to encode a wider range of product information, potentially including

  • Product descriptions
  • Serial numbers
  • Batch codes
  • Manufacturing dates
  • Marketing URLs

2D barcodes can also be displayed alongside their 1D counterparts on various interfaces within your store, providing additional options for product identification and data access.

The plugin offers the following 2D barcode options

  • QR Code: A popular and versatile 2D barcode format with adjustable error correction levels, allowing you to optimize data density and scannability based on your needs.
  • Datamatrix: A compact and high-capacity 2D barcode format well-suited for encoding smaller amounts of alphanumeric data.
  • PDF417: A high-density 2D barcode format capable of storing large amounts of data, often used in applications like logistics and supply chain management.

Similar to 1D barcodes, you can enable the display of 2D barcodes on various interfaces within your store, including product pages, order items, and invoices.
