Does GoCanvas offer barcode scanning?

Yes, GoCanvas offers barcode scanning for Android and iOS devices.

GoCanvas will receive data from any barcode scanner that has a supporting "scan wedge" application that is compatible with a GoCanvas-supported operating system. 

For Android:

The application now natively works with the types of scanners supported by Zebra Crossing, including: 

• Aztec
• Codabar
• Code 128
• Code 39
• Code 93
• Datamatrix
• EAN-13
• EAN-8
• PDF417
• QR
• UPC-A
• UPC-E
• ITF
• RSS-14
• RSS-Expanded

There are also several free applications in the Google Play Store that are compatible with GoCanvas, many of which utilize Zebra Crossing software:

• Barcode Scanner
• QR Code Scan & Barcode Scanner
• Barcode QR Scanner

When you click to scan a barcode in your GoCanvas form, you will have the option to open the third-party scanner.

For iOS (iPad/iPhone): 

You can scan the following types of barcodes in the main GoCanvas mobile application without additional setup:

• Aztec
• Code 128
• Code 39
• Code 93
• Code 128
• Datamatrix
• EAN-13
• EAN-8
• ITF
• ITF-14
• PDF417
• QR
• UPC-E

We recommend testing your barcode scanner on the device you want to use in the field in advance, to ensure that the third-party application will accept the barcode type.
