Support for Bluetooth Barcode Scanners in WooCommerce Android App

[kesarisd]

Hello WooCommerce Android team,

I would like to request the addition of support for external Bluetooth barcode scanners within the WooCommerce Android app.

In our operations, we utilize Bluetooth barcode scanners. Currently, when we attempt to scan a product, the app automatically activates the device's camera for barcode scanning. This behavior limits our ability to use our external scanners effectively.

Proposed Enhancement:

It would be beneficial to have an option within the app settings to:

Disable the automatic activation of the device camera for barcode scanning.

Allow the app to accept input from external Bluetooth barcode scanners.

This enhancement would streamline the scanning process for users who rely on external hardware, improving efficiency and user experience.

Thank you for considering this feature request.
