Barcode and quick response (QR) code scanning is becoming a must-have capability for mobile devices in retail point-of-sale (POS) environments. As retailers make the shift toward consumer-grade mobile POS devices on tablets and phones, the rear-facing camera on the device gives them the ability to capture product and customer information without having to integrate a peripheral scanner. For 2024 release wave 1, we are introducing camera-based barcode scanning as an out-of-the-box feature in the Store Commerce app for Android and iOS.
Feature details
With this feature release, you can:
- Scan bar codes and QR codes on any iOS or Android device that has a rear-facing camera.
- Activate the scanner via the Store Commerce app user interface (UI).
- Decode common bar code symbologies and QR codes.
- Use camera-based scanning for all common POS scenarios that currently support insertion of a product ID, receipt number, or other ID.
- Disable out-of-the-box scanning if you're already using a third-party scanning app or peripheral solution.
To deploy the Store Commerce app scanning feature on Android devices, you must download a 10.0.40 app package (.apk format) for Store Commerce for Android from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Lifecycle Services and sideload it to your mobile POS devices. We are currently working on a solution to provide a prerelease version of the Store Commerce app for iOS.
