Results update automatically as you type, so there is no need to press Enter. 1. On the POS dashboard, select the search field. 2. Start typing the product name, SKU, or barcode number. 3. Select the product from the results. The product is added to the cart and appears in the transaction panel. The search looks across product name, code, and barcode fields simultaneously. Multi-word terms are searched independently, so typing "red small" finds products matching both "red" and "small". To clear the search and return to the full product display, tap the clear button in the search field or delete the text. ## Scanning barcodes At point of sale, a cashier can scan a barcode to add an item to the register cart. A barcode can be scanned with a hardware scanner or typed manually. 1. On the POS dashboard, start typing or scan the barcode number. The barcode input area highlights. 2. Press Enter to validate the barcode. ![POS dashboard with the barcode input area highlighted during a scan](https://res.cloudinary.com/hzkr6fi81/image/upload/v1762314390/barcode_xatonc.png) The item is added to the cart. If the barcode does not match a product, a `code invalid` message is shown instead. :::note Barcode scanning via a connected hardware scanner works in the same search field as keyword search. If a scanned barcode uniquely identifies a product, it is added to the cart immediately. ::: --- ## Follow StoreConnect - [Email Newsletter](https://storeconnect.com/c/lp-newsletter) - [LinkedIn Newsletter](https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7444956928444862464) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCngKdP2x8l1wcbAKW3tvU8g) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/storeconnect) - [X / Twitter](https://x.com/storeconnecthq) ## Popular Links - [Partners](https://storeconnect.com/partners) - [Become a Partner](https://storeconnect.com/become-a-partner) - [News](https://storeconnect.com/articles/news) - [Events](https://storeconnect.com/articles/events) - [Live Events](https://storeconnect.com/live-events) - [Feature Comparison](https://storeconnect.com/how-we-compare) - [Download a free trial](https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FMkeKUAT) - [Book a Demo](https://storeconnect.com/contact) ## Documentation - [Help documentation](https://support.storeconnect.com/help-documentation) - [AI agents](https://support.storeconnect.com/ai) - [Videos & tutorials](https://support.storeconnect.com/videos-tutorials) - [Developer reference](https://support.storeconnect.com/developer-reference) - [Release notes](https://support.storeconnect.com/release-notes) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.storeconnect.com/troubleshooting) - [Trust Center](https://trust.getstoreconnect.com/) - [Status Page](https://status.storeconnect.com/) ## Contact - info@getstoreconnect.com - US +1 415 745 3230 - AUS +61 2 8365 2308 100 S Ashley Dr, Suite 600-2461 Tampa FL 33602-600 USA Level 22, Sydney Place 180 George Street Sydney, NSW, 2000, AUS ## Machine-readable - [Site index for agents](https://storeconnect.com/llms.txt): curated map of the StoreConnect site in llms.txt format - [Documentation index for agents](https://support.storeconnect.com/llms.txt): full technical and product documentation map Every page and article on this site has a Markdown rendering: append `.md` to its URL.
