Scan a barcode
Use your phone camera to scan a product's UPC or EAN barcode, and on Business look up the product details automatically.
Scanning the barcode on a box or label is a quick way to record exactly which product you own.
Steps
- Open Items and click Add Item.
- Click Scan barcode and allow camera access when your browser asks.
- Point your camera at the product's UPC/EAN barcode. When it's read, the code is saved in the UPC / Barcode field.
- On the Business plan, Claimfrog looks up the product and fills in its details. You can also click Look up product to run the lookup on a code you typed.
Good to know
- No camera, or scanning not working? Type the number under Or type the barcode number and click Use code.
- The scanner is included on every plan. Automatic product lookup is a Business feature.
- A barcode identifies the product model, not your specific unit. For high-value items, also record the serial number. See Receipts and serial numbers.
Troubleshooting
- "Camera access was blocked." Allow camera access for app.claimfrog.com in your browser settings, then try again.
- "UPC Not Found." Not every product is in the lookup database. Enter the details yourself.
