FAQ
Quick Overview
Common operational and technical questions to help retailers understand how Barcode Switch works in real checkout environments.
What is barcode switching?
Barcode switching is when the scanned barcode represents a different item than the product being purchased, often leading to undercharging.
It uses computer vision to identify the product and compares the scanned barcode with the correct one stored in the system.
No, it only detects the mismatch and leaves the response to the store’s procedures.
