Scan barcodes

Save each product's code once from the web, then sell it by pointing your phone camera at the code. No typing, no scrolling the list.

How it works, in two steps

First you save the code on the web. Then you scan with your phone during the sale. That's it.

  • On the web: save the code

    Open a product and type its barcode in the "Barcode" field. Digits only. Each code belongs to a single product in your business.

  • On your phone: scan and sell

    During a sale, open the scanner in the product picker and point the camera at the code. The product is added to the cart and the scanner stays open for the next one.

Scan during a sale

Once a product has its code saved, adding it to a sale takes seconds.

  1. 1

    In a sale, open the scanner from the product picker.

  2. 2

    Point the camera at the product's barcode.

  3. 3

    On a match, the product is added to the cart and the scanner is ready for the next one.

  4. 4

    Prefer not to use the camera? You can also type the code by hand to find the product.

What the color tells you

After each scan you'll see a colored banner that confirms what happened.

  • Green: added

    The product was found and added to the cart. Keep scanning.

  • Yellow: not available

    The product exists, but you have none left in the loadout or it isn't sellable on this route.

  • Red: no match

    No product in your business has that barcode saved.

  • Reads common formats

    Recognizes EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, Code128, Code39, and QR. A 12-digit UPC-A and its 13-digit EAN-13 form are treated as the same code.

One important detail

A product can only be scanned once you've entered its barcode in the web product editor. With no code saved, there's no match.

Sell faster on every visit

Save the codes once and let the camera do the rest. Start free with Espres.
