Barcode Lookup

Barcode Lookup allows you to scan (or enter) products’ barcodes (UPC, EAN, or ISBN) to automatically create them in your Progrid database, complete with product names, descriptions, images, categories, etc.

Configuration

Barcode Lookup is available on Progrid databases without additional configuration. To configure a custom API key, proceed as follows:

1. Visit the Barcode Lookup website and click Sign Up for the API.

2. Choose the appropriate plan based on the number of barcodes you need to scan.

3. Fill in the required details and complete the registration process.

4. Copy the API key.

5. In Progrid, open the Settings app, scroll down to the Integrations section, and, under Barcode Database, paste the Barcode Lookup API Key.

Use

To fill in product information using Barcode Lookup, create a new product and fill in the Barcode field. The product’s details are then automatically imported from Barcode Lookup, updating the following fields: Name, Price, Description, Tax, Image, Weight, Attributes, Product category, and Volume. You can then modify any field(s) as needed.
