SCANNERS

Hello,

I'm wanting to add a scanner to my existing POS system.

I use Square + Shopify (online store) and believe I will need to add an app to integrate these 2.

I'm looking at Square accessories.

Square refers to Apple products to use with the 2 scanner options.

I have a Samsung tablet and would like to keep using this.

I would prefer to use the Bluetooth scanner - neater.  

I also already have a cradle for my Samsung so don't need to spend more $$ on the Square stand.

Is the Bluetooth scanner able to be used with Samsung?

Is there ANYONE out there in the community who has done EXACTLY this?

Hey @CherieLisa,

 

Thanks for reaching out!

 

At the moment there are unfortunately no Android-compatible Bluetooth barcode scanners that will work with Square's apps. Currently there are a number of USB barcode scanners available that can connect to compatible Android 5.0+ devices via an "On The Go" adapter, if your device has OTG compatibility.

 

 

If a Bluetooth scanner is a must, you'd need to get one of the compatible ones made by Socket Mobile on an iOS device (as per the above link).

 

At the moment there isn't an official Square to Shopify integration - there are some unofficial ones made by 3rd party developers that claim to sync the inventories of the two accounts, if you were looking at syncing your inventories I recommend taking a look around online to see what's available!

 

Let me know if you have any questions!
