Instructions

Getting started is simple. Once the plugin is installed, you will see a new element in the "Visual Elements" section of your Bubble editor:
πŸ”² QR / Barcode Scanner

πŸ“Š To begin, add this element to your mobile page. The element will automatically handle the camera permission requests when it first becomes visible.

✨ You can now customize the scanner’s properties in the element inspector, such as the camera to use, the color of the scan area, and whether to start scanning on page load.

How to Use the Scanned Data:

Go to the "Workflow" tab in your Bubble editor.

Create a new event: "Elements" -> "A  πŸ”² QR / Barcode Scanner's Code Scanned".

This workflow will trigger every time a code is successfully detected.

Inside this workflow, you can access the scanned data from the element's state: "πŸ”² QR / Barcode Scanner's Last Scanned Code".

How to Use the Actions:
You can control the scanner from any workflow (e.g., when a button is clicked).

Best QR code scanner

Works well! Just keeps asking for permissions
October 16th, 2025
Every time the barcode scanner element gets visible again (after being invisible e.g. due to custom state), it asks for permission to use camera. Could it only ask once/be handled by the global camera permissions per app?
Amazing plugin, amazing support

Not only the plugin works flawlessly (better than other webapp scanning plugins), but Steve answers any question within a day. You can feel how much he cares, many thanks!
Love this plugin!
