Barcodes for WooCommerce®

Barcodes for WooCommerce® is a plugin designed to simplify order and product management by automatically generating unique QR codes for orders and products.

These QR codes are integrated into the WooCommerce experience, including emails, admin pages, and customer-facing order details.

This plugin is purposefully focused on QR codes for version 0.0.1, and I'm seeking feedback from the community to determine which barcode formats would provide the most value in future releases.

I'm aiming to prioritize features that are truly useful rather than adding every possible format or feature just because you know who does it.

Features

• Order QR Codes: Automatically generate QR codes for all new orders.
• Product QR Codes: Generate unique QR codes for products without existing codes.
• Email Integration: Include QR codes in customer order confirmation emails.
• Admin Integration: Display QR codes in the admin order details page.
• Shortcode Support: Display QR codes anywhere using the [order_barcode] shortcode.
• AJAX Functionality: Lookup and generate QR codes dynamically.
• Settings Page: Customize QR code settings, including color.

Planned Features

I want to hear from you! Let me know which barcode formats (e.g., Code128, EAN, UPC) you see most often and would like included in future versions.

My goal is to keep the plugin lean and focus on the most practical use cases.
