Symbologies

Supported Formats

CodesWallet supports 15 representations. Many scanners only read a handful of symbologies each, so CodesWallet covers the formats you're most likely to need across retail, ticketing, ID and general-purpose use. The correct choice depends on the content and the scanner, not just the way the code looks.

Validity matters. Digit counts, check digits and permitted characters differ by format. CodesWallet shows only the formats that work for a code instead of pretending every payload works everywhere: a code's Formats menu leaves out, and swiping past a code skips, any format that can't encode the content you entered or would render too dense to read correctly at the current watch's screen resolution.

The first row is Text: Yes shows the code's text page before its codes, No skips it. Below it are only the formats that can show this code on your watch. A code can keep only Text, with every listed format off, but never neither; such a code shows the text icon in your lists.
