Product Described:
Variable Price Barcode Parser
Agent Question
A deployment associate working with a retail merchant asked if the CAS CL7200P-60(W) scale can be used with Clover POS and the Variable Price Barcode Parser app. The merchant wants to print barcode labels from the scale, scan them in Clover, and have the item and price populate automatically. They tested it on a Clover demo device but couldn’t get it to work and needed help aligning product codes between the scale and Clover.
Answer
Yes, the CAS CL7200P-60(W) scale will work with Clover using the Variable Price Barcode Parser app — provided the barcode contains a price embedded in it. This app is specifically built for environments like grocery stores, meat markets, and delis where items are weighed and priced at the scale, then scanned at the register.
To get this working:
Program item numbers (PLUs) into the scale that exactly match the SKU in Clover inventory.
The Variable Price Barcode Parser will read the scanned barcode, extract the item number and price, and then match it to the correct Clover item and insert the price.
Ensure the scale is printing a barcode format supported by the app. If the barcode format is unique, the merchant can create a custom rule within the app using the digit-by-digit rule builder.
If the barcode instead contains weight embedded, you’ll need the Weight Embedded Barcode Parser instead.
