Common Problems with Assigning Barcodes and SKUs
Imported barcode did not apply to a product
Meaning: The product may not have matched the imported SKU or Product ID, or the product already had a barcode value.
Fix: Check your import row format and the current matching mode in Settings.
Barcode went into the pool instead of applying directly
Meaning: No matching product was found, or the matched product already had a barcode assigned.
Fix: Use the Assign tab and manually apply it by Product ID.
Random SKU was not generated
Meaning: The product may already have a SKU or WooCommerce may reject a duplicate SKU.
Fix: Check whether the product already has a SKU and review reports for missing SKU values.
I cannot find category filters or search filters
Meaning: Category filters, product search, sorting, and advanced assignment controls are Pro features.
Fix: Upgrade to Pro if you need advanced catalog management controls.
I cannot find barcode printing
Meaning: Barcode preview and printable labels are Pro features.
Fix: Upgrade to Pro if you need barcode label workflows.
