How to Use Shop Mode to Check Products Before Buying

Shop Mode turns your phone into a portable nutrition scanner for the grocery store. Follow these steps to check any product before it goes in your cart.

How to Enable Shop Mode

1. Open Nutrify and tap the camera button at the bottom of the screen.
2. Look for the Shop Mode toggle or icon near the top of the camera view.
3. Tap it to activate Shop Mode. You will see a visual indicator confirming it is on.

💡 Tip: Shop Mode stays active until you turn it off, so you can scan multiple products in a row without re-enabling it each time.

Scanning a Product in Shop Mode

1. With Shop Mode active, point your camera at the barcode on any packaged food.
2. Wait for the green chip to appear, then tap the shutter button.
3. Nutrify looks up the product and displays the results.

You can also take a photo of the product itself (without a barcode) and Nutrify's AI will attempt to identify it.

Reading the Results

After scanning, Shop Mode shows you a detailed product breakdown:

• Health Verdict - A quick summary of whether this product aligns with your nutrition goals. This takes your personal targets into account.
• Serving Sizes - View nutrition facts for different serving amounts (e.g., per package, per 100g, per serving).
• Ingredients List - The full ingredient list pulled from the database, so you can check for allergens or unwanted additives.

Comparing Products

To compare two products side by side:

1. Scan the first product and review its details.
2. Tap the back button to return to the camera.
3. Scan the second product.
4. Compare the health verdicts, calorie counts, and ingredient lists to make your decision.

Adding a Scanned Product to Your Log

If you decide to buy and eat the product:

1. On the Shop Mode results screen, tap the Add to Log button.
2. Select the correct serving size and quantity.
3. Choose which meal to log it under (breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack).
4. Tap Save.

This is optional. You can always close the results without logging.

Turning Off Shop Mode

To return to regular scanning mode, tap the Shop Mode toggle again on the camera screen. The indicator will disappear, and your next scan will follow the normal logging flow.
