How to print QR codes that sync to Product ID or SKU

Learn how to print QR codes that automatically sync to Product ID or SKU in Ribbn for fast, accurate product lookup using the mobile app.

 

A QR code can store data that can be assigned or unassigned to a product via the Ribbn mobile app.
On the backend, we store this value in a field called rfidTag. While originally designed for RFID tags, this field supports any data stored in a QR code.

When a QR code is scanned in the mobile app, Ribbn searches your inventory using these rules:

  1. Check if the QR code’s value matches the rfidTag field.
  2. If not, check if it matches the Ribbn ProductId (a unique ID generated by Ribbn for each new product created) 
  3. If not, check if it matches the SKU field.

If you embed either the ProductId or SKU in the QR code, there’s no need to manually assign a value - it will automatically link to the correct product. The system prioritizes the rfidTag first, followed by ProductId, then SKU, ensuring the most precise and efficient lookup.

For fastest fetching we recommend to use the Product ID above SKU but that's of course up to you.

Here's what you need to do: 
 
1. Export the Product CSV from Ribbn with the SKU + price + size in each column.
What you could then also do is to add the Product ID in the Product export and use that as your QR ID, or SKU if you prefer to keep that as a source.
 
2. In Dymo you add the different text elements for each product SKU + Price + Size but also a QR element which you link to the imported product ID column.
 
3. Start with printing only one test-label so you see if the result is what you expected before printing all products.
 
Now once you scan the new label with QR code in the Ribbn app it should show your product in the Ribbn system.
