Quick Tips: Ordering with UPC Scanning

Purcy's text ordering has revolutionized wholesale ordering! With your Purchs account and a text-enabled smartphone, you can quickly and effortlessly replenish your products.

1. Get Close and Focused

   • Position the camera close to the UPC code to eliminate any surrounding objects. This ensures that the code is the primary focus of the image.

2. Ensure Good Lighting

   • Make sure there is adequate lighting. Natural light is best, but if that's not available, use a well-lit room. Avoid direct glare on the code, as it may cause reflections that hinder scanning.

3. Keep the Code Horizontal

   • Hold the camera so that the UPC code is horizontal in the frame. This alignment helps the AI system to read the code accurately.

4. Steady Hands

   • Hold your device steady while scanning. A shaky hand can cause the image to blur, making it difficult for the AI to read the code.

5. Clear the Background

   • Make sure the background is clutter-free. This helps the camera focus solely on the UPC code without distractions.

6. Use the Entire Frame

   • Center the UPC code in the camera frame and make sure it occupies most of the viewfinder. This improves the accuracy of the scan.

7. Check for Clarity

   • After taking the picture, check to see if the UPC code is clear and sharp. If it's blurry, retake the picture.

8. Avoid Reflections

   • If the UPC code is on a shiny or reflective surface, adjust the angle slightly to reduce glare and reflections.

9. Practice Makes Perfect

   • If the code isn’t recognized the first time, try again. Small adjustments in position, angle, or lighting can make a big difference.

By following these tips, users can ensure that their UPC codes are scanned accurately and that the order process goes smoothly. Happy scanning! 😊
