The built-in rear camera of Mobile Device can be used to scan item barcodes during sales or when adding new items to the list.
First, you have to activate the option ‘Use the camera to scan barcodes’ on Loyverse POS app (Android or iOS) in the General Settings.
1. Selling Items
Before making sales, make sure that you have barcodes on the item’s card.
Launch your Loyverse POS app and go to the Sales screen, the same as when selling without a scanner.
Tap the button for scanning barcodes with the built-in camera.
Point the camera at the barcode of your item.
The camera will scan the barcode and the item will appear on the ticket list.
The screen with the camera will remain open, so you can scan another barcode, or edit items in the ticket, search for a client to add to the ticket, redeem customer points, and save or merge open tickets.
2. Adding Barcodes to Items
In the Loyverse POS ‘Items’ menu, open the item for editing and tap the scan button near the Barcode field.
The screen with the camera will be activated, so point the camera at the barcode.
Once it is scanned, it will fill in the barcode number in the Barcode field.
Don’t forget to save the changes.
You can also activate the built-in camera from the Items list.
The screen with the camera will be activated, so point the camera at the barcode.
If any item does not have this barcode, the new item will be created and opened for editing with the filled-in barcode. If there is already an item with this barcode, it will open for editing.
Note: Loyverse POS with a built-in camera can scan UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128 barcodes, and QR codes as well.
