Terminal and Bluetooth barcode readers

[Debfallon]

Can Terminal connect to Bluetooth barcode reader?

[Chad · Accepted solution]

Hello @Debfallon, welcome to the Seller Community! 

This is a great question, but currently Square Terminal does not support Bluetooth barcode scanners. 

We have an article in our Support Center titled Hardware Compatibility By Device. This lists all of the supported receipt printers, cash drawers, barcode scanners, and the corresponding Square hardware they're compatible with.

Hello, 

is it possible to pair a barcode scanner to the portable terminal? I do not have a terminal and was considering it. But I require a scanner and to be able to connect to a register for cash purchases.  It will be my secondary terminal for my business.

Hi there, @313smokeshop 👋Good to hear from you!

I've gone ahead and merged your post into an existing thread of Sellers who were also looking for information regarding using a Bluetooth hardware connection with the Square Terminal.

Take a look at this Best Answer from this same thread - it will provide some context here.

Let us know if anything else comes up!
