Hey @lizzie,

Thanks for reaching out and welcome to the community!

It depends on whether or not your existing hardware is compatible with Square. You can check a list of Square compatible hardware by operating system (iOS or Android) by clicking here.

If you wanted to use a USB printer + scanner you'd need to connect these to Square via Square Stand, which comes with a USB hub and fits recent 9.7" iPads. Most printer-driven cash drawers should work fine as long as you're able to connect the drawer to a compatible receipt printer.

Hope this helps, please let us know if you have any more questions 🙂
