Mobile Barcode Scanner (Scan to Desktop)

The mobile scanner lets you intake stock with your phone while RestocksAIO is open on your computer. The website stores queued items on the phone and removes an item only after the desktop confirms that it was added to the Item Addition collection.

Before you start

1. Update and open RestocksAIO V4 on your computer, then sign in.
2. On your phone, go to restock.gg/scanner and sign in with the same account.
3. Check the connection banner. It must say Desktop connected before you send the queue.

If the banner says that an update is required, install the latest desktop version first. Verified remote scans require acknowledgement support in both the bridge and desktop client.

Scanning

The scanner has two input modes:

• Camera (default): Point the phone at the shoebox barcode. The scanner confirms two close reads before looking it up, which reduces accidental matches. It remembers the selected rear camera when the browser exposes camera device information.
• Manual: Type the EAN or UPC into Manual barcode and tap Match. Use this for a damaged label or to verify a barcode supplied by another operator.

The camera stops while you use manual entry, review a matched product, or open the queue. This avoids leaving the camera active when it is not needed.

When a barcode is found, the match card shows the barcode, product name, SKU, product image when available, and the size conversions returned for that exact label.

Picking size and quantity

The barcode's own size is selected first. For example, a women's US label may also show its men's US and EU equivalents.

• Size: Keep the barcode size unless the physical label is incorrect. Tap Choose another size to reveal the product's other sizes; the scanner warns when you override the barcode value.
• Quantity: Use the minus and plus controls to set 1 to 999 units.

Tap Queue for desktop when the match is correct. Exact matches for the same product, size region, and size are consolidated by increasing their quantity. Tap Skip and scan next to discard the current match.

The queue and desktop confirmation

Queued items are saved in the phone browser, so a refresh or interrupted session does not discard unsent work. Each item keeps the same scan ID when retried, which lets the connected desktop recognize an uncertain retry instead of adding it again.

Before sending, open the queue to adjust quantity, review size, or remove an item. Then tap Send to desktop.

• RestocksAIO confirmed means the desktop accepted the scan and added it to the Item Addition collection.
• A failed or unconfirmed item stays in the queue with its specific error. Reconnect or update the desktop as instructed, then retry it.
• If the connection drops during delivery, do not recreate the item. Retry the existing queued item so it uses the same scan ID.

On the desktop, remotely scanned rows follow the same canonical product and size identity rules as local barcode scans. Processing failures are also recorded under Barcode Scanner in Error Manager. See Barcode Scanning and Adding Items for the desktop workflow.
