They have tons of presets for common businesses and tons of options to customize the barcode so it will work with most scanners.

Pretty cool.
It's probably worth a mention that this app is currently free. I like how on the website you can request a card be added. Not sure if they'll actually do it, but it could prove very useful if they do.
