QuickBooks Commerce supports barcodes & barcode scanning within the web & mobile applications.
You simply need to generate your barcodes and input them into your QuickBooks Commerce account against your SKUs.
We require Barcode numbers to have at least 6 digits or more, otherwise, they are not guaranteed to work.
Then, every time you have to create a sales order/purchase order you can scan the barcode of the product to retrieve the product from QuickBooks Commerce instead of manually typing out the SKU.
Different ways you can use Barcodes:
- Scan items onto Sales & Purchase Orders
- Pack Sales Orders
- New Stock Transfers
- Search Products by Barcode
- Barcode Printing
- Perform a Stocktake
To summarize, barcoding works with every search function on QuickBooks Commerce.
To add barcodes to your products you need to go into your Inventory, click the variant, and then in the barcode entry field you need to scan in the barcode and save it. This means that the item has a barcode associated with it.

Using barcodes, you can search through your inventory for a specific product and scan items onto sales and purchase orders.
