How does barcode scanning work in Seegea?

Focus the Seegea search bar, scan a product EAN or UPC. Seegea matches the barcode against your catalog and opens the corresponding product row immediately. If the scanned product has variants, they are expanded inline.

Can I use a smartphone as a barcode scanner with Seegea?

Yes, with a Bluetooth keyboard-emulation app (e.g., Barcode to PC on iOS and Android). Your phone becomes a wireless scanner connected to the computer running Seegea. Works at distances up to 10 metres.

Can I scan directly into Shopify or PrestaShop?

Shopify POS has native barcode scanning. The standard Shopify admin does not. PrestaShop's back-office has limited native support. Seegea gives both platforms a fast barcode-to-product lookup designed for catalog editing workflows.

What happens if a barcode is not found in Seegea?

Seegea shows a "no match" result. You can then search manually or add the barcode to the correct variant inline. Frequent misses usually indicate products added without a barcode — the missing barcode audit view surfaces all of them.

Barcode scanning for e-commerce: plug a scanner into your catalog

Finding a specific product in a 10,000-SKU catalog by typing a partial name is slow. Scanning the EAN-13 barcode on the physical item and having the exact variant row appear in under a second — that is what your warehouse team needs. Seegea gives both Shopify and PrestaShop this workflow without any additional hardware beyond a basic scanner.

Barcode scanning integrated with

The 3 scanning workflows Seegea enables

Warehouse stock count

Walk the shelves with a USB or Bluetooth scanner. Scan each item, update the stock level inline in Seegea, push to Shopify or PrestaShop immediately. No clipboard, no paper count sheet.

Receiving new stock

Scan each unit as it arrives, increment the quantity inline. Seegea pushes the updated level to your CMS instantly. Your storefront reflects the new stock before the pallet is even unpacked.

Quality audit of catalog barcodes

Scan physical items and check whether the barcode matches the GTIN stored on the Seegea product row. Discrepancies (wrong EAN, missing barcode) are flagged immediately.

Hardware setup: 3 options

Scanner type	Connection	Range	Best for
USB wired scanner	USB HID (plug and play)	Desktop only	Fixed scanning station
Bluetooth cordless gun	Bluetooth HID	Up to 10 m	Warehouse walks
Smartphone + app	Bluetooth (Barcode to PC app)	Up to 10 m	Occasional scanning

Seegea barcode scanning workflow

Open Seegea and click the search bar (or press / to focus it).
Scan the barcode with your USB or Bluetooth scanner.
The matching product row opens immediately — variants expanded if applicable.
Edit the stock level or any field inline.
Press Enter to confirm. Push to Shopify or PrestaShop is immediate.

Missing barcode audit

Filter the catalog by empty barcode field. Every variant without a GTIN surfaces in one view. Add the barcode inline, push. Google Shopping ready.

Duplicate barcode detection

Seegea flags variants sharing the same EAN or UPC. Duplicate barcodes break WMS and marketplace listings — catch them before they cause damage.

Bulk barcode import

Paste a column of EANs alongside SKUs from a supplier file. Seegea maps them to the right variant rows and pushes all barcode updates in one operation.

The fastest barcode scanning setup for a warehouse walk: a Bluetooth cordless scanner paired to a laptop running Seegea. No cables, no app, no configuration — just plug the USB dongle, pair the scanner, and scan.

Created in France (Annecy-Chantilly)

Seegea is a catalog editing layer for Shopify and PrestaShop. Barcode scanning was added because warehouse teams needed a faster lookup than typing — and a basic keyboard-emulation scanner was the simplest possible solution. No proprietary hardware, no app to install on the scanner.
