Commerce Barcode Scanner integrates rules with the act of scanning a products barcode. Once a barcode has been scanned, the corresponding product and product display are loaded as context to the barcode scan event.

This can streamline content administration workflows for users with a barcode scanner attached to their computer.

Rules

By default this module is packaged with 4 rules which react to a product being scanned:

  • Redirect to Product Display
  • Add Product to Cart
  • Edit Product
  • Edit Product Display

Permissions

This module has two assignable permissions:

  • Administer Commerce Barcode Scanner - given to admins to allow them to make changes to the modules configuration.
  • Trigger commerce barcode events - given to users who should be able to scan products and trigger corresponding events.

Configuration

This module can be configured by visiting Store > Barcode Scanner and has the following configuration options:

  • Minimum SKU Length - Allow admins to specify how many characters are needed for a valid SKU.
  • Keypress Interval - Allows admins to tweak how quickly characters must be typed to be considered a "scan". This may need to be altered for different scan guns.

This module is sponsored by Code Drop.
