DIGI SM-5300X Scale Compatibility with Clover POS Using Variable Price Barcode Parser

Product Described: Variable Price Barcode Parser  or Weight Embedded Barcode Parser.


Question
A Canadian grocery store using the DIGI SM-5300X scale wanted to ensure accurate integration with Clover POS via the Variable Price Barcode Parser. They were scanning items like Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, and needed clear guidance on how to make sure the barcodes were parsed correctly for variable pricing. The business owner sent in scale label pictures and asked for help with settings, concerned about whether their scale was compatible and how to match it with the app settings.


Answer
Yes, the DIGI SM-5300X scale in its current configuration is compatible with the Variable Price Barcode Parser. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to configure your Clover device for seamless scanning and pricing:

  1. Install the App

    • Download and install the Variable Price Barcode Parser app from the Clover App Market.

  2. Enable Accessibility Settings

    • On the Clover device, navigate to:
      Device Settings > Accessibility > Variable Price Barcode Parser, then toggle it on.

  3. Configure Barcode Parsing Settings

    • Open the Variable Price Barcode Parser app.

    • Tap the three lines (menu) in the top left corner.

    • Select Barcode Settings.

    • Choose the second option (preset designed for common DIGI format).

    • Tap Save.

  4. Setup Inventory Item for Variable Pricing

    • Go to the Inventory app on Clover.

    • Find the item (e.g., Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast).

    • Set the item type as Variable.

    • Enter the product code as the first 6 digits of the barcode, skipping the leading zero.

      • Example: Barcode is 020959300000, so product code = 209593.

Once these steps are completed, your Clover Register app will correctly identify the item and enter the total price from the barcode, all with a single scan.

Let us know if your label uses a different format. If so, a custom parsing rule can be created within the app to accommodate your barcode structure.
