The stock scanner

Connects a phone or barcode-scanner device to your shop so you can take stock in and out on the shop floor, away from a desk. Like the till, the scanner runs in its own restricted session — this page is just where you connect it.

Connecting a device

Press Generate connect QR and scan it on the device within 3 minutes. That signs the device into a scanning session.

What the scanner can and can't do

  • It can: receive a delivery into stock, take an accepted buylist into stock, correct a count, and print labels.
  • It can't: reach your admin, your orders, your customers or your money.
  • Sessions time out after 2 hours idle, so a device left on a shelf overnight is signed out by morning rather than sitting there logged in.

Connect as many devices as you like — each scan of a fresh QR is its own session.

What to do next

  • Items at or below their reorder point are listed on the low-stock report.
  • Customer trade-ins arrive in the buylist queue; accepting a list there and scanning it in on the shop floor are two halves of the same job.
