What is barcode scanning?
What is barcode scanning?
Barcode scanning lets you ring up products by scanning the barcode in the SuccessFund mobile app instead of searching for items manually. When you scan a product barcode, the item is instantly added to your cart at checkout.
Do my products need barcodes already?
Most retail products already have barcodes on their packaging. If your product has a barcode, you can scan and save it to that product in your store.
How do I set up barcodes for my products?
From the app, tap More, then select Set Up Barcodes. Choose a product, tap Scan Barcode, and scan the barcode on the item. Once scanned, the barcode is saved to that product.
Can I use barcode scanning with product variants?
Yes. Barcode scanning works with products that have variants. You can scan and assign a barcode to each variant.
Do I need to set up barcodes every time?
No. Barcodes only need to be set up once per product or variant. After that, you can scan the item anytime during checkout.
Barcode Scanning vs Redemption QR Codes
What is the difference between product barcodes and redemption QR codes?
Product barcodes are linked to items in your store. Scanning a product barcode adds that item directly to the cart.
Redemption QR codes are tied to completed online purchases. These QR codes can appear on receipts for online orders when enabled. Scanning one pulls up the original purchase so it can be redeemed.
Where do redemption QR codes come from?
Redemption QR codes appear on receipts for online purchases when the feature is enabled. Customers can show the QR code on their phone or on a printed receipt.
What happens when I scan a code?
The scanner automatically detects the type of code.
- If you scan a linked product barcode, the item is added to the cart.
- If you scan a receipt QR code, the related order is pulled up so it can be redeemed.
You do not need to switch modes. Scan either one.
Do I need different scanners or buttons?
No. Both the Scan Barcodes and Scan Redemption Codes features support scanning both types of codes. The system handles the difference automatically.
Can I scan the same redemption QR code more than once?
No. Once an order has been redeemed, it cannot be redeemed again. This helps prevent duplicate redemptions.
Checkout and Usage
How do I check out using barcode scanning?
At the point of sale, tap Scan and scan the items you want to sell. Each scan automatically adds the item to your cart. When you are ready, tap View Cart to complete checkout.
Can I still add items manually?
Yes. Barcode scanning is optional. You can continue to add products to the cart manually.
What if a code does not scan?
If a code does not scan, you can add the item manually or search for the order to redeem it. If the issue continues, make sure the barcode or QR code is clear and has been properly set up.
