Am I able to use my Iphone as a barcode scanner for check out which I am  using a I Pad for my pop up shops?

Hi @valerina13 

Unfortunately you are not able to do this with Shopify POS.

I would suggest using a separate barcode scanner as specified by Shopify - https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/sell-in-person/hardware/barcode-scanners

I hope that helps!

Hi there Valerina

You can go to Shopify POS from there

Login on main screen

click Products

then click Search icon top right,

Search bar to type will open up, but now click again top right of that search bar there is an icon which will allow you to search by "barcode" it will ask for access to your device first, which you have to grant. You then scan the barcode and it will pull up that product or variant if it has a barcode in your store.

You typically need to ensure these barcodes are created ahead time using an App like https://apps.shopify.com/search?q=barcode%20generator

Hope that helps!
