Hello , Is there a way or app or plugin I can add to my shopify website to allow customers when shopping in the store to scan UPC on the products using their phone camera to get the UPC in the search bar to display product information for the scanned item ?
Topic summary
A merchant is seeking a Shopify-compatible way (app/plugin) for in-store shoppers to use their own phone cameras to scan a product’s UPC (Universal Product Code) and automatically populate the online store’s search bar, returning the product’s information or detail page. The goal is a consumer-facing, website-integrated barcode scan (no dedicated hardware), leveraging standard smartphone camera access. Desired flow: scan barcode → UPC auto-fills search → product info displays. Intended use case is quick in-store price/details lookup by customers. No technical solutions, app recommendations, or workarounds have been provided yet. No images or code were shared. Status: open/unanswered; no decisions or action items so far.
