Scan one barcode and enter multiple products

[LRF]

I want to speed up the curb-side social distancing ordering process. I sell fireworks. I anticipate that some customers will prefer to purchase a 'bundle' of separate products. Many customers will want to drive up, look at the order form(s), see the bundle description and price and tell the order taker which bundle of products to pick (probably pre-picked and bagged). Is there a way to have one barcode represent multiple items? I want to scan one barcode and have Square automatically add the appropriate individual items to the transaction. Possible? The slower alternative is to have a pre-printed bundle scan sheet with each item's barcode. One sheet for each bundle.

Hi @LRF! This is a feature request. 

@PreOrder_Apps - Have anything to offer here?

[LRF]

Nika, thanks for your response. I use the Square app for a very busy few weeks a year.  I thought I might be asking for something that was not in the latest version of the app but I was not sure. Based on your input it is not an existing feature. Oh well ... perhaps it will make it's way to the top of the new features pile pretty quick. Sure would be handy for us curb-side fireworks order takers, especially when we get slammed on the 3rd and 4th of July.

Hi there! We are an official Square Partner and help Square Businesses make affordable, custom solutions. We do a lot of work with QR Codes and can put this into a Mobile App for you pretty easily. 

We already have a powerful mobile app service (powered by Square) called Pre-Order that has a lot of Curbside features, Instant Notifications, Order Queue/Built-In Custom KDS (with saved Vehicle Info) and a lot more, so we could easily add the QR Code to the My Orders page. That way the Customers would be able to simply go to their My Orders Screen and show the Order Taker the QR Code for that Order, which could be scanned instantly (we have Cashier and GM/Owner mode in all our Apps) with our own built-in QR Code Scanners designed to be like Bar Code Scanners except faster and cooler!

Let me know if you want to chat about it. We can do this in a week.

And thanks @nika for the assist!
