Support for DataBars & PLU (Price Look-Up code)

[bredowmax]

Summary: In US, these are quite a lot more popular than in Germany. I've seen them at

• TraderJoes
• H-Mart
• Roche Bros.
• Whole Foods
• Tesco
• Aldi US
• Star Market

So far, I haven't seen any US retailer that does not use them.

The stacked GS1 databar is not a standard supported code of ios.

I am not able to track down any GS1 barcode reader support for GS1 on Github.

I know that Scandit supports it

I think we rather have a non-commercial implementation.

[bredowmax]

If I wanted to manually add this product to OFF. Would I simply use that 16 digit code?

[aleene]

I'll ask on Slack

Hmm thanks @teolemon for this link - if I read this right, the standard iOS package doesn’t support it. (Scandit does, but I understand you won’t use it)
