Weight Embedded Barcode parser works inside the Smart POS native environment while Shopventory takes the barcode scan outside of the Smart POS native environment.
When approached, Shopventory representatives stated that they don't support items with variable weight type or with per unit weight type.
CSI Works is willing and able to work with the makers of the Shopventory app however when offered, Shopventory makers declined to collaborate.

Variable barcode label unit count vs total weight | How to use Metler Toledo Label Printing Scale
First, make sure that the app is configured in settings. Then, create the items with the same item number in Clover and then in your scales. Next, train your staff to print the labels using the correct item number in the scales.
In Clover, there are two ways to setup the item that would work with the Weight Embedded Barcode Parser app.
Weight Embedded Item
This method is advantageous because its faster to setup. With weight embedded price, there's no way to distinguish the unit price so the item is sold for the amount its sold. A good example is a market rate pricing. The scale generates the label which has the total cost and is used during the transaction. Later, the reports will show the number of weight embedded items sold but will not show the per unit cost
Per Unit Item.
This method take longer to setup because each unit in Clover would need to be defined with unit of measure and per unit price. The scale will still generate the total price for whatever amount the customer asked for. However, when this item is scanned on Clover, Variable Price Barcode Parser will perform reverse calculations using unit of measure and per unit cost divided by the total amount brought over via the barcode on the label. This will allow business owners to obtain more in depth reporting. For example, reports will now show the details about the unit of measure and number of units of each item sold.
- The item number should be 6 digits long.
- If the barcode starts with zero then the item number will start from second position.
The app runs in the background. When scanning the barcode from the scale, the app will find the matching item number in Clover and assign the price at the transaction level.
