Hi @ghy (Greg)!
It’s great to hear that you’re diving into barcoding your pottery sales! 😊
To get your Zebra LS2208 barcode scanner working with Square, you'll want to use either GTIN, UPC, or EAN formats for your barcodes.
When creating or editing an item in your Square Point of Sale app, you can scroll down to the "Barcode" section to manually enter the GTIN, UPC, or EAN in the provided field, and don’t forget to select "Save" when you’re finished. However, the fastest option is to create an item by scanning the barcode directly with the Square for Retail app. For detailed steps on how to set this up, check out our online guide.
Square also allows you to print labels through the Square for Retail Plus plan. Check out this page for more details on that. If you prefer to stick with the Square Point of Sale software, you can use third-party online barcode generators to create and print your labels. Just input the numbers you want to encode (like your product SKU) and choose the GTIN, UPC, or EAN format.
If these terms are a bit new to you, don’t worry! We’ve included explanations on how they can help you track and manage your items in our linked resources above.
Once your barcodes are printed, simply scan them with your Zebra reader, and Square will pick up the information automatically!
Everyone starts somewhere, and it sounds like you’re on the right path! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. Happy selling! 🎉
