The barcode guide every Kenyan small-shop owner needs

1D vs. 2D — which do you need?

For 99% of shops, a 1D USB scanner (KES 2,500) is all you need. Save your budget for a second one.

Making your own barcodes

DukaPro generates one for any product without a code. Print on a KES 850 label printer — done.

Camera scanning

The mobile app scans with your phone camera. Great for stock takes, less great for busy tills.
