# Add an Item to Your Cart with Amazon Dash Wand

You can use the voice or scan features on your Amazon Dash Wand to add items to your Cart.

If you do not want to order an item immediately with your Amazon Dash Wand, say the name of the item or scan the item to add it to your Amazon or Amazon Fresh Cart. These items will be added to your Cart once your Amazon Dash Wand connects to your Wi-Fi network. Items added from Amazon Dash Wand will appear with other items in your Cart, in the order they were added.

## Add Items to Your Cart via Voice

For spoken items, Dash Wand tries to find the best match for what was said, providing the item is available from Amazon.

To add an item to your Cart using the Voice feature:

1. Hold the button down while speaking.
2. Say one item, like "organic blueberries" or "laundry detergent". You can also add the item to your Cart by saying "add [item name] to my Cart."
3. Release the button.

If Dash Wand is unable to find a matching product, the spoken phrase is added to your Cart with product options for consideration. For the best results:

- Speak in English only.
- Do not specify quantities of items.

## Add Items to Your Cart via Barcode Scanner

For scanned items, Dash Wand adds the exact item from Amazon to your Cart, if available.

To add an item to your Cart using the barcode scanner:

1. Press and hold the button.
2. Hold Amazon Dash Wand 3-8 inches away from the barcode of the item you'd like to scan.

If the item is not available on Amazon, Dash Wand adds the title of the scanned item to your Cart with product options that are similar to the scanned item. For best results:

- Ensure the plastic film is removed from the lens and the lens is clean.
- Do not scan barcodes that are damaged, double barcodes, or items that are being scanned through a phone or computer screen.
