Seagull BarTender Cloud Essentials
This banner is for the Windows BarTender software trial. BarTender Cloud runs in a browser and has a separate evaluation process.
Design, manage, and print labels through a browser
BarTender Cloud Essentials gives teams a shared place to create labels, connect data, and manage documents without maintaining a local BarTender application server. It is a practical starting point for browser-based labeling across stores, departments, and remote locations.

What you can do
Create labels in your browser
Use the browser-based designer to build label layouts. Start from available templates and use Template Assistant to connect the information each label needs.
Keep documents in one place
Centralize label documents so teams can access shared designs. Revision control is included, helping you track changes and compare versions.
Connect data with less retyping
Connect to supported cloud databases and local files. Guided data-entry forms help operators supply the right information at print time.
Print where the work happens
Use supported browser and mobile printing workflows for labels at the point of work. Printer connections and any local software requirements depend on the printing method.
Monitor users and activity
Use access settings and print-history tools to oversee labeling activity. Review usage to understand how the service is being used across your operation.
Reduce server maintenance
Use a hosted service with managed updates. Add the matching printer subscriptions as your printing needs grow, within the allowance purchased for your plan.
Where it fits
Useful for product and shelf labels, shipping and receiving, asset identification, and shared labeling across stores or smaller teams. Choose Cloud Automation when you need API/File Drop integrations or dedicated team spaces.
Choose the right license
Choose a base Essentials subscription with the printer count and term you need. An additional-printer item expands an eligible existing plan; it is not a standalone plan. Printer count depends on the subscription selected. Essentials includes Essential support; setup and design services, where offered, are separate items.
Compare Cloud editions
Both editions cover everyday cloud labeling. Automation adds integrations and tools for coordinating teams.

Printer-based plans shown here are licensed for the selected printer count, not priced per printed label. Browser-based design requires no local BarTender server; printer setup or connector software may still be needed for some printing methods. Support shown is the starting level; check the selected option for its term and included support. Service availability is the manufacturer’s published figure, not a separate POSGuys guarantee.
