The camera
Typing the code
Three ways to scan at the till: a barcode scanner plugged into the laptop or tablet, the camera on a phone or tablet, or the code typed into the search box.

Barcodes and scanning
A USB scanner, the camera or the code typed in: each puts the right size and colour straight on the ticket.

Result
On the ticket
The right one, no questions
A USB or Bluetooth scanner types the code for you, Enter and all, like a keyboard: point it at the label and the item's on the ticket. There's nothing to set up in Register. Search or scan a barcode

Barcodes live on each variant, under Sizes & options, beside its SKU: the one printed on the maker's label, or one of your own. Scan a code that's on nothing and the till says so, so you can add it to the right variant.
