The barcode lookup in Content can take you to a product that already has the code, or start a new product with that barcode saved. It works with a barcode reader that types into the focused input, and you can also enter the code manually.
Look up a barcode
-
Open the barcode scanner page
In the app, open Content, then open Product and choose the barcode scan action. You need permission to create or edit Content items.
-
Scan or type the code
Click the barcode field so it has focus. Scan the product label with your connected reader, or type the code, then choose Find or Add. The lookup accepts a non-empty code up to 128 characters.

Continue with the result
If a product already uses that barcode, the app opens its edit page. If no product matches, the app creates a draft product with the barcode and a temporary title, then opens the editor so you can complete its details.
Finish a newly created product
Add the product name, description, price, images, category and any store settings you need. Keep it as a draft until it is ready. To display it in a storefront, publish it, enable selling and assign it to the relevant website. See Add a Product to Your Catalog.
A barcode lookup does not import product details. For a new code, it creates a draft record with the code; you still need to add the product information yourself.
