What is a barcode and how to use it in your shop

A barcode is not just lines on a product, it is the fastest way to tie every sale to its product, price and stock. Here is a practical guide to using it.

What a barcode is, simply

A barcode is a code representing a specific item. When scanned, the system recognises the product and its price at once, instead of searching or entering it by hand.

Why it speeds your shop

  • Faster item entry at the counter.
  • Fewer price and item errors.
  • Automatic link to inventory with every sale.

How to start

Most products carry a factory barcode you scan once to register. For items without one, you can generate and print labels specific to your shop.

From a costly scanner to your phone camera

You no longer need a separate scanner device. In Cash Dukkan, your phone camera does the same job, so you start with barcode at no hardware cost.
