Print Product Barcodes Straight From the Cashier on TtaKkaa
Not every product arrives from the supplier with a clear, scannable barcode — some local or repackaged products (like spice bags or portioned sweets) have no original barcode at all. TtaKkaa solves this by generating an internal barcode for any product and printing it as a label straight from the cashier.
The problem: products with no scannable barcode
Without a barcode, the cashier has to search for the product manually in a long list every time it's sold, which slows down selling during busy hours and increases the chance of picking the wrong item.
How TtaKkaa solves it
TtaKkaa generates a store-specific internal barcode (EAN-13) for any product that needs one, and you can print it directly from the cashier screen:
- Open the product list in the cashier.
- Long-press the product you need to print a barcode for.
- Choose "print barcode label" from the menu that appears.
- Stick the label on the product, and it's ready to be sold by scanning like any other item.
An example from a grocery store
A shop portions nuts from large sacks into smaller bags for sale. Each bag has no manufacturer barcode, so the owner generates an internal barcode for each weight (quarter kilo, half kilo), prints it, and sticks it on the bag — then the cashier sells it by scanning the barcode like any other product.
The numbers, honestly
Instead of searching for a product manually in a long list every time, one printed barcode makes selling faster and reduces the chance of picking the wrong item by mistake.
