How to update stock by scanning on mobile
Receiving a delivery? The mobile app's Update Stock scanner books items into stock as you scan them - or takes them out - and the change syncs to your store and shows in the web Inventory history. It works for Shopify and WooCommerce stores on the PRO, FREE and WAREHOUSE plans.
- 1
Open the Scanner tab and tap Update Stock (Scan items to add or remove stock).
- 2
Pick the stock location to receive into - the location chip at the top opens the picker when your store has more than one location.
- 3
Point the camera at an item's barcode (Scan an item barcode). No barcode to hand? Tap Enter code, type the barcode or SKU, and tap Find item.
- 4
The item card shows the stock at This location and the Total stock. Choose Add or Remove, set the quantity, and tap Add N to stock (or Remove N from stock). A +N · item name confirmation appears and the camera is ready for the next scan.
- 5
Keep scanning. The Added: N chip at the bottom counts the session - tap it to see the log of everything you have booked in or out.
Good to know
- Every change is applied in OrderKrab and pushed to the store, and appears in the web Inventory page's History as Receiving.
- Your store does not track inventory for this item means the variant has no stock tracking in the store - switch it on there first.
- Belongs to … - switch location means the scanned item is stocked at another location; pick that location and scan again.
- Retrying is safe: if a save doesn't go through, Nothing was applied twice - tap Retry.
- Needs a connected Shopify or WooCommerce store (the OrderKrab plugin 1.5.0 or newer on WooCommerce). On LABELS the option isn't offered; in a warehouse set-up, receiving covers the warehouse's own shops and every client's shops.
