How will retailers without upgraded POS systems handle GS1 DataBar coupons?
A. In the interim phase, when both barcodes appear on the coupon, coupons will scan as normal. Ultimately, in the full implementation, retailers without the capability to scan and process the GS1 DataBar barcodes will have to revert back to manual validation. They would need to rely on their cashiers to validate the coupon purchase requirements and key enter the coupon value.
