Barcode Lookup

Barcodes are stored in the database when they are created as either coupon, prepaid, gift certificates, or vouchers and while many barcode items will have a valued item attached to them, some may not. Some barcodes may be associated with specific promotions with expiration dates, while others may

have an open-ended expiration. Regardless of the campaign, barcodes can be used in a variety of ways to secure your marketing and promotional campaigns. Therefore, a way to lookup barcodes to inquire on status has been built into Retriever Process.
