Hi guys
about the Barcode stock manager plugin:

1 - Please, Can we use the Barcode stock manager plugin with Google Lens App as scanner ? How ?

2 - Please, Can we use the Barcode stock manager plugin from frontend (HikaMarket Vendor point of view ? How ?

Hi Nicolas,
in first of all, as always, really many thanks for your reply.
Then, I want to specify once more that I am writing thinking that they are really very important, critical functions (HikaMarket Multi Vendors point of view) and that HikaShop is very close to the solution.

1 - "...This can be purchased for really cheap online.." = Sure. But this is not a cost question (Google Lens" App, in the example, is a free App), this is a User Friendly question.
To have the Scanner in a mobile device (App) means for workers (Vendors) that they do not need to carry any device with them and can Scan on the fly, anywhere in the warehouse (without being tied to the USB).
Also, consider that there are objects that can be brought close to the Scanner, but 90% of the time it is the Scanner that has to approach the object to read the code. Approaching objects to show code is a job, while scanning with the camera is not.
Maybe, the simplest right approach can be: Internet > Logged (User Permissions) and "that's all", like the HikaSerial is doing

2 - Well, we are using HikaMarket Multi Vendor, so, for us to have it working with Vendors (and its ...) in the frontend is a must.

3 - The warehouses stock management should be considered , but, as far as I understand, it shouldn't create any complications to the Barcode plugin

Hi Nicolas,

1 - "Google Lens" = As I wrote, It was just an example of a "Virtual" Scanner (App, instead of USB)
For sure your suggestion is better, and:

1A - Maybe this Html5-QRCode can be better, because:
- is newer (last update on 07 Apr 2022);
- it can read "QR code, bar code, and other common code scanning capabilities";
- is lighter (the zip file is 9.7 MB instead of 18.5 MB );

2A - Would be useful to integrate it into HikaShop default and to "update" HikaSerial process to run on it (instead to need of external Apps)

Do you agree ?

2 - Staying tuned

3 - Got it, Thanks!

Hi Nicolas,

1A - Happy to cooperate

2A - I mean that by adding that library to HikaShop "by default", also HikaSerial could also take advantage of it and update this workflow used up to now with this smarter, user friendly, internal solution...

Hi Nicolas,
well done !

few days to complete our J4 migration and I'll buy it...
