Dear Shopify Community,

I’m currently developing a solution for a client’s Shopify store in India, involving:

Barcode Scanning and Quotation Generation:

  • Attaching barcode with each product stored in the store.
  • Implementing barcode scanning for efficient in-store product management.
  • Allowing customer to select products by scanning the barcodes via a mobile device.
  • Generating dynamic PDF quotations with customer-specific discounts of selected products by the customer on inventory prices before making the final purchase.

Any insights or recommendations on incorporating these features into a Shopify store, with a focus on the Indian market, would be highly appreciated.

Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely,

[Sagar Virani]
