Square barcode scanner should read Groupon barcodes

We have a lot of customers through Groupon but they get upset that we don't have a scanner for the paper printouts they bring in. It would be great if the Square barcode scanner could scan the Groupon barcodes. 

 

I believe there is a way to use the groupon app to scan this via a smartphone but as a small business owner (bakery) with several employees thats a super impractical solution to have everyone having access to my business groupon account and have cell phones out to do so.

This is considered a 3rd Party integration because the barcode provided by Groupon is meant to be used by them and not by a third-party company like Square in this case.  I would suggest reaching out to them and asking them if there are other methods to go about this besides the smartphone app.

 

I hope this information is helpful @wearedoughcookie

we ended up just canceling our Groupon account due to some unsavory customers (Karen's) coming in due to the Groupons.
