Vend POS barcode

A barcode is a unique identifier for a stock item. Most manufactured items come with a universal barcode which can be scanned into the SKU field within the product page. When this barcode is scanned, the product will appear in the current sale.

Vend can also generate barcodes for you to use. It does this by "translating" the text in the SKU field into a barcode graphic. As an example here is a barcode which depicts the text "Vend HQ".
