Hi all - I’m interested in paying someone to build a plug in that scans QR codes in the native mobile app.
Bubble is pretty tight lipped about their roadmap so I have no idea if they’ll ever do anything like this so I’ll pay someone to do it.
Let me know what you can do!!
Thanks!
I need this too. Plugins only showing QR & Barcode generators not scanners.
Yep, I agree. We also need this. Has anyone come back to you?
I had a proposal from @siddharth but I haven’t done anything yet.
There’s still no way to natively scan a code without some intermediate steps, I want it to be as simple as possible
Hey ya’ll
Depending on your use case, i’ve ditched the native qr-code route and instead have my clients using a bluetooth hand-held barcode scanner that sends unique_id’s directly into the users input box. It works a charm, and these hand-held devices are far more powerful at reading a varietey of 2D barcodes, aswell as having in-built lighting for low-light environments. Heres a link to one im using at the momment, $40 AUD ($22 USD):
That’s a great idea! But unfortunately won’t work for my use case.
whats your use case if I may ask?
We’re creating an event management solution where volunteers will scan tickets on people’s phones so it wouldn’t be practical for each event to purchase scanners and pair them.
Maybe @nocodeventure can help. 
I think I mentioned this in a thread where they were asking for more plug-in ideas and they said that the Bubble plug in API wasn’t capable yet.
Correct. But we’ll add it in as soon as its available.
Hi there, native beta allows access to the phone’s camera so you could have your users take a photo of the qr code… Then a workflow can send the image to a custom API that validates or not. It sound very simple in terms of Bubble development. But note that there is an extra step, users must click to take the photo and launch the workflow, I don’t think we can have the qr code detected without a custom plugin…
Hmm with this, we might be able to pull it off. I’ll keep you posted!
how does it connect to the bubble app?
It connects via bluetooth and simulates a keyboard. Checkout their yt videos to get a better understanding - eyoyo barcode readers
