FAQs — Bluetooth Barcode Scanners

What is the difference between BLE and Classic Bluetooth for scanners?

BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) is more power-efficient and pairs easily with modern iOS and Android devices. Classic Bluetooth (SPP) offers a more traditional serial-port profile, preferred for connecting to older POS terminals, Windows applications and legacy systems.

Can a Bluetooth scanner connect to multiple devices?

Most Bluetooth scanners pair with one device at a time, though some support multi-pairing profiles allowing quick switching between paired devices. Check individual product specifications.

Will a Bluetooth barcode scanner work with Shopify POS on iPhone?

Yes — any of our BLE Bluetooth scanners pair with an iPhone running Shopify POS and work immediately as a barcode input device with no configuration needed.
