Can I use a barcode scanner if I don't have Square for Retail?

Hi, 

I've been using Square with the stand and chip/contact reader for debit and credit cards. 

I want to switch to a barcode from SKU numbers. I have the regular Square account and NOT the Square for Retail - can I still connect a scanner and how/where do I go to switch the SKU # to a barcode.  Thanks

Hi @thebloomnbucket

Yes, you can use a barcode scanner with the Square POS app. Check out this article for more details. 😊

I'm also including a link to this thread where other sellers are discussing bar code creation. Please see the best answer pinned at the top for steps to link the sku to the barcode. 

Hope that helps!
