On your phone (built-in camera)
On Android and iOS, the phone’s own camera scans barcodes live — just tap the scan icon while billing or adding a product. This works out of the box, no setup needed.On Windows PC (USB scanner or barcode printer)
- USB/Bluetooth barcode scanner — plug in or pair a handheld barcode scanner and it works immediately, with zero configuration. It acts like a keyboard: scanning a code just “types” it into whatever field is focused, the same way it would on a phone with a connected scanner.
- Webcam scanning — Windows can also scan using a connected webcam, but this is an experimental, opt-in feature (off by default) since it’s less reliable than a dedicated scanner. Turn it on from Settings → Hardware & Connectivity → Camera — see Hardware & connectivity settings.
- USB barcode/label printer — a USB label or receipt printer is installed like any normal Windows printer (via its own driver) and then selected from the print dialog — see Hardware & connectivity settings and Printing & sharing bills.
