# Scan-Z

Scan-Z is a Shopify embedded app that lets merchants scan UPC barcodes to automatically retrieve
product data and create product listings in their Shopify store. It also shows live market price
data (lowest, highest, and average selling price) to help merchants price competitively.

## What it does

- Scan any UPC barcode using a USB scanner or phone camera
- Automatically retrieve product title, description, brand, and category from a UPC database
- Show current market prices across online listings (lowest / average / highest)
- Create the product in Shopify with one click — no manual data entry

## Who it's for

- Resellers and thrift store operators who need to list found items quickly
- Retail arbitrage sellers who want to verify resale value before buying
- Dropshippers sourcing products by scanning supplier catalogs
- Wholesalers who need to list bulk mixed inventory without spreadsheets

## Pricing

- **Free**: $0 — 10 barcode scans per month, every feature, no time limit
- **Starter**: $5/month — 100 barcode scans per month
- **Pro**: $19.99/month — 2,000 barcode scans per month
- **Unlimited**: $80/month — no monthly scan limit (fair use: 500 scans a day)

Every plan includes every feature; only the scan quota differs. There is no trial: the Free plan is how merchants try Scan-Z. Paid plans are billed through Shopify Billing from the day they're chosen. No credit card required to install.
