Barcode Scanner for Sage 50 & Sage 200 UK

Connect any USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner to Sage 50, Sage 200 and Sage Business Cloud in minutes — no plugins, no middleware required.

How Barcode Scanners Work with Sage

Sage 50 and Sage 200 accept barcode input via keyboard wedge — the scanner types the barcode number into any active field exactly like a keyboard. There is no Sage plugin or driver required. Simply click into the Product Code or reference field in Sage, scan the barcode, and Sage locates the item. This works with any USB or Bluetooth HID scanner.
