Browse Products & Categories

The main register screen shows your product catalog as a grid of cards. Use the category chips at the top to filter by category (Coffee, Food, Pastries, etc.), or type in the search bar to find products by name or barcode.

Each product card shows the name, price, stock level, and an image. Out-of-stock items are dimmed automatically.

Add Items to Cart

Scan a Barcode

Click the camera icon next to the search bar to activate the barcode scanner. Point your device camera at any barcode and it will be detected automatically. If the barcode matches a product in your catalog, it is added to the cart instantly.

You can also use Scan from Phone — open a QR code on the register, scan it with your phone, and use your phone as a wireless barcode scanner.

AI Product Scanner

Switch to AI Scan mode (toggle in the scanner). Take a photo of any product and AI will identify it, suggest a name, category, and price based on market data. This is perfect for adding new items without manual data entry.

The AI can identify products from photos, invoices, price lists, and receipts. It even suggests competitive pricing.

Custom Items & Pricing

Inventory Management
