Hi,
Could a barcode scanner work with the front end or admin web applications? I have OSCommerce at the moment and I feel that if I move to konaKart it would be worth trying to get barcode scanning integrated. I know you can get fairly cheap USB barcode scanners from Ebay in the UK. I guess a simple way would be to have barcodes generated for each SKU and whenever a user wants to search an item they would have to put the focus within the SKU search field (if there is one) and possibly hit enter. This would ease a lot of manual typing time. Advanced usages would be to have barcodes that perform specific functionality but that might require a custom client (java) program that invokes the server API.
As a start functionality provided to generate barcodes through the admin app and allowing a barcode reader to enter the barcode value into the admin app, would be excellent.
thanks
Amar
