Is a barcode scanner compatible with quickbooks online?

QuickBooks Online is currently not optimized for barcode scanning, info388.

I believe having a compatible barcode scanner for QBO will be beneficial to users. I will pass this idea to our engineers.

You can try finding a third-party inventory software online (Google) that offers barcode scanning and can connect to QuickBooks. You can also search for a barcode scanner app for mobile devices that offers integration with QuickBooks.

On the other hand, you can visit our QuickBooks Blog page to stay updated with the latest features in QuickBooks.

Just my 2 cents.

When with a barcode scanner be compatible with Quickbooks?  We are a wholesale distributor that has been growing consistently since we opened in 2012.  With thousands of products in inventory it is becoming crucial that we move to a bar code scanning system. It is time consuming to pick through all products looking for the correct item to input into an invoice and the rate of errors is increasing as we grow and add products.  I would think that in this day and age this would be an essential tool for most businesses.  When can we expect QB to address this issue?  I have been with QB since 2012 and QB online since 2016 I'm still waiting but I won't be able to for much longer.  QB really needs to update to the needs of its users.
