Setting up barcodes for products

Overview

Once a barcode is saved on a product, StockUnify can find that product when you scan it. This article shows you how to add a barcode to a product.

Add a barcode when creating a new product

1. Go to [Inventory] -> [Add New Product] page.
2. On the product details page, fill in the product details, then find the [Barcode] field.
3. Enter the barcode. You can type it in, or click into the field and scan the product with your scanner to fill it automatically.
4. Click [Save as Approved] to save the product.

Add a barcode to an existing product

If a product already exists in the system:

1. Go to [Inventory] -> [Manage Products] page.
2. Type the product name to search for the product, then click on the product name to open the product details page.
3. Click on the Edit button.
4. Find the Barcode field and enter the barcode. You can type it in, or click into the field and scan the product with your scanner to fill it automatically.
5. Click [Update Product] to save it to the product.

Update barcodes with a CSV file

If you have a lot of products to update, importing is faster than editing them one by one.

1. Go to [Inventory] -> [Manage Products] page.
2. Click on the [Bulk Update] button, then select [Update Products by Bulk].
3. Download the bulk update template.
4. Open the template, fill in only the Code* and Barcode columns, and save the file as a CSV.
5. Back on the Update Products by Bulk page, drag the CSV file to the upload field to upload it.

That's it — once a product has a barcode saved, it can be found by scanning.
