Adding Multiple Quantities Using Barcodes
The POS agent needs to log in and add the cash drawer amount in a usual way.
A Barcode/ Sku tab is present in the POS product collection page, on clicking which a pop-up shall appear, as shown in the image below.
The POS agent needs to add the barcode name (barcode2) and click on DONE as shown in the image below.
To specify, the admin adds two quantities for barcode2, as shown in the image below, therefore, 2 units of Joust Duffle Bag must be added to the cart in the frontend.
As the POS agent clicks on DONE, two units of Joust Duffle Bag display on the cart as shown in the image below.
To add more quantities of the same product, the POS agent again needs to tap on the Barcode/SKU tab and add the barcode name to add the required number of product units.
In the image below, the admin adds the barcode name (barcode3) and clicks on DONE.
The additional units of the product, Joust Duffle Bag (here, three) are added to the cart.
A total of 5 units of the product, the Joust Duffle Bag display in the cart, is shown in the image below.
