Dedicated barcode scanners are reliable but expensive — and they break at the worst time. For growing shops, a phone-based scanner can handle 90% of checkout volume at a fraction of the cost.
How StokUp Mobile Scanner works
Open the scanner modal on your POS, display a QR code, and scan it with any staff phone. The phone camera becomes a live barcode reader that feeds directly into the active cart. Connection status and scan logs keep managers in control.
- No app store download required — works in the mobile browser
- Instant product lookup from your synced catalog
- Disconnect and reconnect without restarting the register
- Audit trail of scans for troubleshooting
