Quick Sales via Barcode Scanner

Overview

The Quick Sales feature allows merchants to instantly add products to the checkout by scanning their barcodes.
This eliminates the need to manually search for items in the catalog, making the checkout process significantly faster and more efficient — especially in busy environments like retail stores, cafés, kiosks, and supermarkets.

With just one click, products are scanned, added to the basket, and the merchant can immediately proceed to payment.

1. The merchant opens the Checkout section.

2. At the top-right corner, there is a barcode scanner icon.

3. When tapped, the camera activates and switches to scanning mode.

4. The user scans products one by one.

5. Each recognized barcode is instantly matched to an item in the catalog.

6. The item automatically appears in the order (basket).

7. After scanning all items, the merchant taps Checkout to proceed to payment.

8. The payment is processed normally (cash, card, terminal, or any enabled method).
