Wireless 2D barcode scanner 2023

[kelmah]

Hello everyone, I have been looking through the community posts online and I can't understand why we don't have a wireless 2D barcode scanner available for square POS in 2023.

This should be very simple and something that is available, I can't believe I have to do this to find a way around the system.

I have an iPad and a square stand, I sell furniture and I have a barcode and a QR code an all my products, at the moment I have to walk around with my iPad to scan the products the customer wants to buy, the scanner on the iPad works fine, I just don't want to be walking around with a iPad, and have the till empty.

Has anyone tried a wireless 2D barcode scanner, or can someone advise on what I can do, I was looking to get one of these 2 scanners even with the high price.

• Zebra DS2278-SR00007ZZWW DS2278 Cordless Handheld 2D Barcode Scanner
• Socket Mobile CX3809-2569 SocketScan S740 2D Bluetooth Barcode Scanner

if nothing works am gonna have to give up the whole idea and go to my old simple POS.

Please help.

Thank you

Hi @kelmah thanks for your post! 

I'd be happy to help! I had a look at our website and while we don't sell any wireless barcode scanners, we do have a couple that are compatible. My doubt is if they support 2D - I researched both online and found mixed answers. These are the two we can guarantee will work with Square Point of Sale: 

Socket Mobile S700

Socket Mobile 7Ci**

We have more details on our site here. 

I hope this helps, let me know what you think.

@Breffni @kelmah all the sockets can 7 series work with the apps on iOS. So as long as the app understands the QR code then the 740 will pass that information to it. 

I think the 740 has the added bonus of being able to be used in an auto stationary mode too if you’re also counter based 👍
