# How to Generate & Print Barcode Tags for In-Store Sales

**Overview**
Every item displayed in the storefront **must** have a valid, flat, readable barcode tag attached prior to shelf placement. Store staff use POS laser scanners to process transactions and assign revenue to your vendor account.
### Printing Barcode Tags

1. From the **Garnet Vendor Portal**, go to **Products**.
2. Select the products or variants you need to tag.
3. Click the **Print Barcodes** or **Export Barcodes** action button.
4. Select your label format size and print using standard sticky label sheets or cardstock tag paper.

### Mandatory Tagging & Barcode Rules
* **Placement:** Apply the barcode label flatly on the product or hanging tag. Do **not** place barcodes on curved edges, corners, or textured surfaces where scanner lasers cannot read them.
* **Tag Protection:** Do **not** crease, fold, bend, or write over the barcode pattern.
* **Non-Scanning Item Warning:** Per Section 8.1.f of the Vendor Agreement, store staff will not perform manual inventory lookups or tag tracing for non-scanning tags. If an item lacks a readable barcode or fails to scan at checkout due to tag damage or poor placement, **100% of the sale proceeds are retained as an administrative fee**, and zero commission or payout credit will be issued.
