Static Barcodes
Static barcodes contain the same coupon information for every customer. When generating these codes, a subscriber field doesn't need to be entered.
Select from one of the three types from the drop-down menu:
CODE 39 is a 1-dimensional barcode (1-D), which is used to represent the traditional recognized barcode style. 1-D barcodes have different widths and spaces of the lines, but are linear. Its name stems from the original character limit of 39.

Alphanumeric
An asterisk represents the start/stop, but is optional in text
CODE 128 is also a 1-D barcode. Code 128 is useful in bigger industries for transportation and distribution with a non-point of sale (POS). Code 128 is a combination of 3 subsets (A, B, C) each allowing for different levels of density and character sets. This is represented in the beginning bars of the barcode.

Update the barcode (design) options to reflect your preferences. This includes the height, padding, font, and styling options for your barcode.
💡 The border width defaults to how many characters are entered. Five pixels of white space are added around the barcode to make it easy for the user to scan the code.
