Hello, I have tried several barcode apps and have not been able to find one that fits our need. I am hoping to find a barcode app that I can scan a product barcode at POS checkout and then be able to manually select the variant I would like to add to the cart. Our variants are constantly changing for our products so being able to assign a barcode to the product rather than each variant inside the product would solve this problem, speed up POS checkout, and maintain one inventory for POS and online sales. Hopefully this is possible! I appreciate the help!
Topic summary
A user is searching for a barcode app that allows scanning a single product barcode at POS checkout, then manually selecting the desired variant afterward. Their product variants change frequently, making it impractical to assign unique barcodes to each variant. They want to maintain unified inventory across POS and online channels while speeding up checkout.
One suggestion offered is to assign the same barcode to all variants of a product, which might trigger a variant selection prompt at POS. However, this workaround is acknowledged as not ideal, and it’s unclear whether the original poster has tested this approach or encountered any issues with it.
The discussion remains open with no confirmed solution yet.

Hi,
have you tried assigning the same barcode to all variants of a product?
That way, when you scan it at POS, it might show all the variants and let you choose the one you need manually.
It’s not ideal, but maybe it could help .
Curious if you’ve tested that or if it caused any issues for you.
