How to Add Price Embedded Barcodes in SalesPlay POS

Video Tutorial

SalesPlay POS allows you to use Embedded Barcodes which carry extra information about products, such as price or weight. Price-embedded barcodes simplify checkout, especially for weighted or packaged items.


What is an Embedded Barcode

  • Embedded Barcodes carry additional product data like price or quantity.
  • Example: Weighing vegetables at checkout using a barcode that includes weight information.

Types of Embedded Barcodes

  • There are two types of embedded barcodes:
  1. Weight-based:
    • Barcode includes product code/SKU and weight information.
  2. Price-based:
    • Barcode includes product code/SKU and product price.

Barcode Profiles



  • Two common barcode profiles: EAN 13 and UPC-A.

EAN 13 Setup (13 digits)

  • Format: ‘AAXXXXXPPPDDC’.
  • ‘AA’ – prefix, ‘XXXXX’ – product code, ‘PPP’ – price, ‘DD’ – price decimals, ‘C’ – checksum.

UPC-A Setup (12 digits)

  • Format: ‘AXXXXXPPPDDC’.
  • ‘A’ – prefix, ‘XXXXX’ – product code, ‘PPP’ – price, ‘DD’ – price decimals, ‘C’ – checksum.

Steps to Add Price Embedded Barcodes



  1. Login to the POS Back Office Web Portal.
  2. Select Settings from the main menu.
  3. Go to Features.
  4. Enable Embedded Barcode section.
  5. Click Save. (Embedded Barcode will appear as a sub-menu in Settings)
  6. Click Embedded Barcodes from the sub-menu.
  7. Click Add New.
  8. Select Barcode type as Price Embedded.
  9. Enter the correct digits for the barcode. (Set PLU value to 0 or leave empty if product codes have 5 digits)
  10. Enable Status.
  11. Click Save.

Notes:

  • If your product codes have less than 5 digits, configure the PLU value based on the number of digits.
  • Always double-check barcode digits to ensure proper scanning and price capture at checkout.
