We have products that come in multi packs
each multipack has its own barcode and single variants have its own barcode.
we have created metadefinitions to store box barcode and qty per box.
struggling to find a way so on shopify pos when multipack is scanned variants are added based on qty per box
atm we are stuck with creating duplicate products (multipacks) and its a uphill task as we have lot of variants.
Hey @ukvk1313 - apologies we didn’t get to this back when you originally posted and thanks for flagging.
Shopify now supports multiple barcodes on a single variant, and Shopify POS can find the variant when any assigned barcode is scanned. This allows the unit and box barcodes to identify the same variant.
The documentation doesn’t describe associating a different quantity with each barcode. For that part, you could explore modelling the box as a fixed bundle published to POS, or building a POS UI extension that reads the box barcode and adds the underlying variant with the required quantity. The extension option would use a custom scanning workflow rather than standard POS barcode handling.

Hope this helps!
