Using Barcode Scanner

Modeve POS supports barcode scanning to help you add products faster during sales or when managing inventory.

Requirements

Before using the barcode scanner:


Scanning During a Sale

  1. Go to the Sales or Checkout screen.

  2. Tap the Barcode Scanner icon.

  3. Point the camera at the product barcode.

  4. Hold the device steady until the barcode is recognised.

  5. The product will be added to the cart automatically.

You can continue scanning other products one by one. Each successful scan will add the item to the cart.


Scanning When Adding or Editing a Product

  1. When creating or editing a product, look for the Barcode field.

  2. Tap the scanner icon next to the field.

  3. Point the camera at the barcode.

  4. The barcode number will be filled in automatically.

This helps avoid typing errors when entering barcode numbers.
