AX - Bar Code
Overview
AX - Barcode is an Experience Cloud component that generates scannable codes—including QR codes, standard barcodes, and other formats—on Experience Sites pages based on Salesforce field values.
Use it to display codes for product numbers, order IDs, tracking information, event tickets, or any data that portal users need to scan with mobile devices. Configure the barcode type, size, and styling in Experience Builder to match your portal's branding.
Perfect for customer portals showing order barcodes, event registration pages with ticket QR codes, partner portals with product tracking, or self-service sites where users need scannable access codes.
