Connect Your Phone as a Scanner

Choose scanning mode:

Select a mode to start

Use the website link on your phone for the reliable live connection. Direct Bluetooth with a normal phone is limited and often does not work as a barcode scanner in browsers.

Website Connection

This is the recommended method. Open this link on your phone, allow camera access, and each scan will arrive here automatically on the desktop.

Quick phone connect

Open your phone camera or QR scanner app and scan this code to launch the phone scanner instantly.

Session Code

{{ token }}

Desktop Status

Waiting for phone scans...

Bluetooth Option

This only checks whether the desktop browser can pair with a nearby Bluetooth device. Most phones do not expose barcode scans directly over Web Bluetooth, so pairing alone usually will not create a working scanner.

Bluetooth not started yet. If you want dependable scanning, use the website connection on the left.

How to Use

  1. Keep this desktop page open.
  2. Open the website link on your phone.
  3. Scan a product barcode with the phone camera.
  4. The desktop will auto-open the product in sales.

Why Bluetooth May Fail

  1. Many phones do not behave like Bluetooth barcode scanners for desktop browsers.
  2. Web Bluetooth support depends on the desktop browser and operating system.
  3. Even after pairing, the browser may not receive barcode data from the phone.
