Scan a delivery against its purchase order and let Shopify stock update itself. Works offline, handles part deliveries, and shows what is short.

View on the Shopify App StoreReceiving is where stock accuracy is won or lost. A delivery arrives, someone counts it against a paper sheet, and someone else keys the numbers into Shopify an hour later. Two of those three steps can go wrong, and the store does not find out until a customer orders something that is not there.
PLACEHOLDER replaces the paper sheet and the keying. You open the purchase order on a phone, scan what comes out of the box, and Shopify stock goes up as you go. What is short, over or damaged is on screen before the driver leaves.
Features
Scan a delivery against its purchase order. Stock updates itself.
Point a scanner or a phone camera at a barcode and the line ticks up by one. No typing, no searching for the right row.
Receive what turned up, leave the rest open. The purchase order stays live until the last box lands, however many drops that takes.
A running variance list shows short, over and damaged lines while you unpack, so you can raise it there and then instead of a week later.
Scans are held on the phone and sync when Wi-Fi comes back. A dead spot behind the racking stops nothing.
Works with Bluetooth scanners, rugged Android terminals and the camera in a five-year-old phone. There is no hardware to buy first.
Receive into any Shopify location and see who received what. Useful the first time a shop and a warehouse disagree.
Every scan records who, when, where and against which order. Exportable as CSV whenever a supplier disputes a count.
We store your purchase orders and scan history, nothing else. Export or delete it from the settings page at any time.
How it works
Real screens from the app, not marketing mock-ups.
Step 1
Pick the order the delivery belongs to. Everything Shopify already knows about it is there, so nothing is keyed in twice.
Step 2
Scan each item as it comes out of the box. The count goes up on screen and stays put if the signal drops.
Step 3
Check the variance list, add a note on anything short or damaged, then finish. Shopify stock updates as you do.

FAQ
No. The phone camera works out of the box and reads most retail barcodes fine. A Bluetooth scanner is faster once you are doing more than about fifty items a delivery, and any scanner that works as a keyboard will pair with the app.
Scanning carries on. Each scan is saved on the phone and sent to Shopify when the connection comes back. You will see a small counter of scans waiting to sync, and the app will not let you close an order until they have all landed.
Yes. Stock is written through Shopify's own inventory API, so anything reading Shopify stock levels sees the change straight away, including Shopify POS. We do not keep a separate stock number of our own.
You can receive over the ordered quantity, and the line is flagged as an overage in the variance list. Nothing is blocked, because arguing with a delivery driver about an app is not a good use of anyone's morning.
Yes. Any scan can be removed before the order is closed, and a closed order can be reopened for seven days. Every change is kept in the audit trail with the name of the person who made it.
About four minutes. Install from the Shopify App Store, pick which locations you receive into, and scan a test barcode. There is no data import and nothing to configure first.
