Synchronise "merchant-issued" custom barcodes with the app

Pair unique barcodes from an existing loyalty program with your customers.

"Barcodify - Customer Selector" can automatically create customer barcodes with Shopify customer IDs encoded for you. However, if your customers use barcodes of a different format, you'd need to pair them with the app.

Follow the subpages of this guide if your customers own physical cards (or other objects) with unique barcodes and the encoded values are not recognisable by Shopify's customer search. I recommend using app-generated barcodes if your customers don't own any objects with unique barcodes.

Synchronising such values with the app would only make them recognisable by the app and not the rest of Shopify.

If you prefer more barcode customisability that the app doesn't provide (e.g. different styling), you could still do so, but I'd recommend encoding Shopify customer IDs as you wouldn't need to sync such barcodes with the app. Searching customers by Shopify customer ID is also the fastest method.

There are three methods to synchronise custom barcodes with the app:

1. Enter barcodes individually. This is the simplest method - great for testing the app or quickly updating a single customer.

2. Import barcodes.

3. Populate barcodes from customer metafield.
