Product Described:
Weight Embedded Barcode Parser
Question
A retail ISO reached out regarding a merchant using the CAS CL7200P-60(W) scale. The merchant prints barcode labels with the product’s weight, and they need Clover POS to recognize both the item and the weight when scanned. They had tried getting it to work on a demo system and wanted clarity on setup and compatibility.
Answer
If the barcode printed from the scale contains weight embedded instead of price, then the correct solution is the Weight Embedded Barcode Parser app for Clover.
Here’s how it works:
Program your product codes into both the scale and Clover inventory so they match exactly.
When the barcode is scanned at the register, the app reads the product code and extracts the embedded weight, multiplying it by the item’s per-pound price in Clover.
The item and calculated price appear automatically at checkout.
This setup is perfect for merchants who sell by weight but prefer to manage pricing directly in Clover rather than embedding the total price at the scale. The app includes a standard set of configurations at $9.99/month, or merchants can bundle it with Unit Tare functionality for advanced container weight handling at $19.99/month.
If the barcode has the price embedded instead, use the Variable Price Barcode Parser instead.
