Frequently Asked Questions

Will your barcode scanners work with my existing EPOS system?

Yes — our Bluetooth and USB barcode scanners appear as standard HID keyboard devices, making them compatible with virtually all UK EPOS, till and stock management systems including Lightspeed, Vend, Shopify POS, SPAR, and bespoke retail platforms.

What is the best barcode scanner for a small retail shop?

For a single checkout point, we recommend a 2D Bluetooth handheld scanner paired with your existing tablet or PC EPOS. Ring scanners are ideal if your staff also do floor walking and stock checks.

Can I scan QR codes and loyalty card barcodes?

Yes — all our 2D scanners can read QR codes, Data Matrix codes, PDF417 and all standard 1D retail barcodes (EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, Code 128, ITF-14). Essential for loyalty schemes and NHS exemption cards in pharmacy retail.

Do you offer multi-unit pricing for retail chains?

Yes — we offer volume pricing for orders of 5 or more units and can quote for retail chain rollouts across multiple sites. Contact us on +44 (0) 207 096 8420 for a tailored quote.
