Barcode scanners are compatible with Square Terminal, but does it require Square for Retail?

[DigItJoplin]

Is a barcode scanner useful with POS or must I upgrade to SFR at $60/mo?

Hi there, @DigItJoplin 👋 Welcome here to the Seller Community! We are happy to have you join us here. 

While you can use a barcode scanner directly with the Point of Sale app, the ability to create and generate bar codes for your business is specifically available through Square for Retail.

I hope this clears up any confusion - but if not, feel free to shoot me a reply! We are here to help.
