How it works
The barcode scanner gives you a direct way into the product catalogue. Scan a packet from the pantry or aisle, open a recognised product and decide where it belongs in the shop.
Open the recognised product
Review the catalogue result, available store prices and product details.
Contribute a missing barcode
If the barcode is not recognised, submit a product or link the code to an existing product for review.
Recognised
Move from barcode to useful product detail.
A successful scan opens the same product information used elsewhere in Tallo, including available prices and list actions.
Find an existing product
Help connect a barcode without creating a duplicate.
When a barcode is missing, search the existing catalogue first. Submitted contributions are reviewed before becoming catalogue data.
Good to know
A scan is only as useful as the catalogue match
- Camera permission is required to scan a physical barcode.
- Some retailer or multipack products can carry different legitimate barcodes.
- An unrecognised barcode does not mean the product is unavailable; it may need to be linked or added.
- Community barcode and product contributions are reviewed before they become trusted catalogue data.
