Mobile Barcode Scanner (Scan to Desktop)

Scan shoebox barcodes from your phone and send them straight to the Item Addition Window on your desktop — no laser scanner required.

Works from any modern phone browser. No app install and no USB/Bluetooth laser scanner needed — your phone camera is the scanner.

Scan on your phone, confirm the match, and queue the item to your desktop.

The mobile scanner lets you intake stock with your phone while the items land directly in the Item Addition Window on your computer, ready to list. It pairs with the desktop client over the RestocksAIO bridge.

Before you start

1. Open the RestocksAIO desktop app and sign in. The desktop must be running — it's what receives the queued items.

2. On your phone, go to restock.gg/scanner and log in with the same account.

If you see "Scanner bridge is unavailable. Open RestocksAIO desktop and try again," it means the desktop client isn't running or isn't reachable. Open the desktop app and retry.

Scanning

The scanner has two modes, toggled at the top right:

• Camera (default) — Point your phone at the shoebox barcode. The scanner reads 1D barcodes (EAN/UPC) and confirms a read before looking it up, so a quick double-read avoids false matches. It remembers your selected (rear) camera between sessions.

• Manual — Type the EAN or UPC into the Manual barcode field and tap Match. Use this when a barcode is damaged or won't scan.

When a barcode is found, a match card appears showing the product image, Matched {barcode} label, product name, and SKU.

Picking size and quantity

• Size — Tap the correct size from the horizontal size pills. The label shows the size type (EU/US) returned for that product.

• Quantity — Use the −/+ stepper (1–999).

Then tap Queue for desktop. To move on without queueing, tap Skip and scan next or the x on the match card.

The queue and sending to desktop

Queued items collect in a drawer ("{N} queued"). For each item you can still adjust the size and quantity or remove it. When you're done scanning:

• Tap Send {N} to desktop. You'll see a "Sent {N} item(s) to desktop" confirmation.

• Any item that fails to send stays in the queue with an error so you can retry.

On the desktop, the items arrive automatically in the Barcode Scanning panel of the Item Addition Window, where you can retry failed scans, confirm them into the working list, and list them like any other scan. See Barcode Scanning and Adding Items for what happens next.

The barcode buffer in the Item Addition Window is saved together with your Saved Item Sets (Snapshots), so queued scans are restored across desktop sessions.
