Using barcodes in templates for invoices
To have a barcode on your invoice, you need to use a barcode merge field in your template. Currently, Zuora supports up to five barcode merge fields per invoice template.
Use the following format for your barcode merge field:
{MERGEFIELD "Image:{BarCode field}, Value:[{Value}], CodeTextPosition:{CodeTextPosition}, ImageWidth:{image width in point}, ImageHeight: {image height in point}, DpiX:{dpi value horizontally}, DpiY:{dpi value vertically}" * MERGEFORMAT}
| Parameter | Possible values |
