anyone knows what type of barcode SS uses? it reads something like this "ì^#^1418A660^=î" no idea what is it, order id of that order is "111­1711204­8385002" I wanted to get same codes and be able to pull up order, I can use ORDER ID, but somethings its too long or too short, so its a problem on small barcode label.

    The barcode is the order id encoded to hexadecimal with ^#^ in the beginning and ^ at the end.

    so an id of 11234567 in the api would be a value of AB6D07. So the barcode would be ^#^AB6D07^.  

    Was looking for years and finally noticed the correlation one day.

     

    PHP:

    $orderId = 11234567;
    $barcode = '^#^' . strtoupper(dechex($orderId)) . '^';

    And reverse barcode to order ID:

    $fromBarcode = '^#^AB6D07^';
    if (preg_match('/\^#\^[a-fA-F0-9]*\^/', $fromBarcode) === 1) {
    $fromOrderId = hexdec(substr($fromBarcode, 3, -1));
    }

    Javascript:

    const orderId = 11234567

    const barcode = `^#^${orderId.toString(16).toUpperCase()}^`;
    const barcodeLegacy = '^#^' & orderId.toString(16).toUpperCase() & '^';
     
    And Reverse
    const fromBarcode = '^#^AB6D07^'
    let fromOrderId = null
    if (/\^#\^[a-fA-F0-9]*\^/.test(fromBarcode)) {
    fromOrderId = parseInt(fromBarcode.slice(3,-1), 16)
    }
