Barcode Scanner for WooCommerce UK: Setup Guide 2026

Connect any Bluetooth or USB barcode scanner to WooCommerce for faster stock management, order picking and point-of-sale scanning.

How Barcode Scanners Work with WooCommerce

WooCommerce scanners work as keyboard input — when you scan a barcode, the scanner types the SKU or barcode number into whatever field is active in your browser. No plugins required for basic use. For advanced stock management (goods-in, stock takes, pick and pack), you'll want a WooCommerce inventory plugin that supports barcode scanning.

WooCommerce Scanning Use Cases

Order Picking

Scan products as you pick orders to verify correct items. Works with WooCommerce order management plugins including WooCommerce POS, Stocky and Barcode Scanner & Order Manager.

Stock Management

Scan products during stock takes to update quantities. Works with ATUM Inventory, WooCommerce Stock Manager and TradeGecko/Cin7 integrations.

Physical POS

WooCommerce POS plugins (WooPOS, Hike POS, Square for WooCommerce) support Bluetooth scanners directly as keyboard input.

Goods-In

Scan supplier deliveries to receive stock. Update WooCommerce inventory in real time without manual data entry.
