DuitPOS listens for barcode input in the background, from anywhere in the app — you don’t need to click into a search box first.

​
How it works

  • A connected barcode scanner can be aimed and triggered at any time, on any screen, and the app will pick up the scan automatically.
  • If you don’t have a physical scanner, you can manually type the barcode digits on your keyboard followed by Enter, and the app treats it exactly like a scan — again, without needing to click into any specific field first.
This works even if your cursor or focus is somewhere else on the screen — you don’t need to be inside a search bar or any input field for a scan (or typed + Enter) to register.

​
What happens when a barcode is scanned

  • If the barcode matches a known product, that item is added to the current cart automatically.
  • If the product has variants or modifiers, you may be prompted to choose them, same as tapping the item manually.
  • If no match is found, the app will show a “not found” message rather than silently doing nothing.

​
When this is useful

  • Quickly ringing up packaged items without searching the menu grid
  • Speeding up checkout for high-volume retail-style items
  • Working from any screen — you don’t need to navigate to a specific “scan” screen first
If scanning doesn’t seem to register, confirm your barcode scanner is properly connected/paired, or that you’re pressing Enter after manually typing the code.
