 * is there any way I can create a barcode for the Order number on the invoice?
 * I’ve tried the following code using a barcode generating plugin but I can’t get
   it to work, any advise?
 * `<?php echo do_shortcode("[barcode text=$this->order_number() type=code128 height
   =100 wdith=2 transparency=1]");?>`
 * the above makes a barcode for “()”

 * Hi! the `$this->order_number()` bit doesn’t actually return any data and the 
   data it outputs while it’s running doesn’t actually end up in the shortcode string,
   this is why it doesn’t work. Try this instead:
 *     ```
       <?php echo do_shortcode("[barcode text=".$this->order->get_order_number()." type=code128 height=100 wdith=2 transparency=1]");?>
       ```
   
 * Let us know if that works for you!
