Let's Do It Together!

Barcode aliases require Pro and the Barcode aliases setting. An alias gives an existing Shopify variant another scan value; it does not replace the variant’s primary barcode. The alias quantity determines how many units the scan represents—for example, 12 for a carton of 12.

Step 1: Enable Barcode Aliases

Go to SettingsGeneral and enable Barcode Aliases.

Don't forget to click Save to apply the changes.

Step 4: Set Quantity for Alias

If needed, select the quantity for the product using the quantity selector on the left.

Step 5: Save the Alias

Press Set Alias to finalize the assignment.

Scroll down to confirm that the alias has been applied successfully.

From Barcode aliases & cartons, use the native CSV import for bulk setup. Download the template, provide the product identifier, alias and quantity, then review matches before importing. The import limit is 1,000 rows / 2 MB.

For checkout, open the EasyScan POS scanner tile. Shopify’s ordinary checkout scanner does not send its scans to EasyScan’s alias lookup.
