Do you have to buy the Retail package to use a scanner? Can I use a scanner with the regular POS

[jacdzg2]

Can you use a scanner with the regular POS system?  I purchased one but cannot figure out how to set up.  Do I need to purchase a USB cord or do I need to purchase a  wireless scanner to work?  If so where can I go to learn how to set up and figure out how to scan lablels and use the system?  I am brand new to the scanner and totally overwhelmed. PLEASE HELP  I need this dummified. I am so lost.

yes, you can use a scanner with the free Square POS. 

here is a list of the compatible devices with a Bluetooth scanner.  not all work with everything.  https://squareup.com/help/us/en/article/6334-hardware-compatibility-by-device#barcode-scanners

what device do you have for a scanner?  what are you running Square POS on, is it an iPad in a Square Stand, an iPhone, an Android device?
