Catalog for Retail - Online & In-Store

Getting Started with Listing for Retail

There are some settings which are best suited for listing items for retail sale. We will walk through this process which includes changes to the following:
  1. Account Settings
  2. Scan Settings
  3. ZPL Templates
    1. manyfastscan has several built-in retail label templates which show the MSRP, Discounted Sale Price and includes a barcode that can be scanned from your POS System
    2. On the web, use the System ZPL Templates to copy the retail ZPL template to your ZPL Template repository.
    3. Once you have the Retail Template available on your account, make sure when you create a Manifest Group you select the correct ZPL Template for Retail
      1. If Manifests have already been created in the Manifest Group you want to use for Retail, you will have to edit the settings of each manifest to use the ZPL Template for Retail

To access General Settings select the  icon in the top left of the screen

Step 1. manyfastscan.com > General Settings > Account Settings
  1. Start on "Generic" tab
  2. Force Fresh Data: Toggle to Yes(yellow): Force new data from source when scanning barcodes. 
    1. If you want to reuse data previously created on your account, you can keep this toggled off
    2. Example: User changes Title/Description/Price of an item and the next time that item is listed in a manifest, the user modified data will be used.
  3. Show Dashboard to Admins Only: Optional, this is for controlling employee views.
  4. Premium Price Multiplier: Useful for offsetting credit card processing fees.
    1. A 3% fee would be entered as 1.03
  5. Discount Price Multiplier: This is the inverse of your discount:
    1. Example: 40% off retail would be a multiplier of .60
  6. Default Auction Starting Price: Not used for Online Retail
  7. Default Auction Reserve Price: Not used for Online Retail.
  8. Retail Price Convert to Currency: Select the appropriate currency from the dropdown.
    1. If manyfastscan collects data in a currency not local to you, we will convert the currency using that day's conversion rate.
  9. Don't forget to SAVE!


Step 2. manyfastscan.com > General Settings > Scan Settings
Scan Settings are set for each user
Scan Settings are set individually for each user. Any user who needs to be listing for retail should make these changes to their Scan Settings
  1. Skip Photo Capture? – Switch to YES (toggle turns yellow)  if you do not want to add user captured photos. You can still add photos in the Manifest Item Menu.
    • This skips taking product photos during the scan.
  2. Skip Conditions? – Switch to YES (toggle turns yellow) if you do not want to add item conditions. You can still manage conditions by changing the Default Condition in the Manifest Settings.
    • This bypasses the “Condition” screen so you don’t have to manually select an item condition every time you scan.
  3. Is Skip Pricing Screen? – Switch to NO (toggle turns gray).
    • Keep the pricing screen visible so you can confirm and adjust prices/discounts.
  4. Label Print Option – Choose Automatically Print if you are using Zebra printers for retail labels.
    • This prints labels immediately after a scan so you can tag items for shelving.
    • If you prefer to control printing manually, select Print On Button Click.
  5. Estimate Price Popup Open? – Not needed for retail, leave OFF.
    • This avoids extra pop-ups that can slow down your workflow.
  6. Waiting Time For Searching Price – Leave as 4 (default).
    • This is the system’s wait time when pulling price data — the default is already set for retail use.
