Barcodes & labels
How every variant gets a barcode, how to print price-tag labels with a scannable code, and how to scan at POS with a scanner gun or a phone camera.
Every variant has a barcode#
When a product is added — from the form or by bulk import — each variant is given a unique 12-digit numeric barcode automatically. You do not need to buy or register barcodes. The barcode is shown in the Variants column of the Inventory list and is what POS looks up when you scan.
POS also matches the product SKU, so a label or tag carrying your own SKU works too.
Print labels#
- Open Inventory. Use search or Low stock only if you want labels for a subset.
- Click 🏷 Print barcode labels.
- A PDF,
barcode-labels.pdf, downloads with one label for each variant in the list (up to 200 at a time). - Print it on label stock or plain paper and cut.
Printing labels needs the Manager role or above.
What each label shows#
- Your shop name
- Product name, brand and the variant (for example Red / XL)
- SKU
- HSN code and GST %
- Price — the GST-inclusive selling price, with the unit for non-piece products (for example ₹140.00 / MTR)
- A QR code that encodes the barcode, with the barcode number printed beneath it
Scanning at POS#
| Method | How |
|---|---|
| Scanner gun (USB or Bluetooth, keyboard mode) | Click the POS search box (or press F2) and scan. The scanner "types" the code and the product is added. |
| Camera | Click Scan (or press F3), allow camera access and hold the label in the frame. Works on phones, tablets and laptops with a webcam. |
When a code matches you see Scanned: product added to cart; when it does not, No product matches barcode …. Out-of-stock products are not added.
