SocketScan S700 Professional Linear Barcode Scanner

Eileen: So happy this scanner worked with our Square system for half the price of what is provided directly by Square. Never had any issues. Works well.

Britny Diekmann: These scanners are known for nothing but issues. This is my 3rd one & once again, this one only lasted 2 months. I requested a replacement but was told it was beyond their 30 day return policy. The sad truth is that Shopify stores only allow you to use this scanner - so I’m basically stuck buying yet another $250 scanner to wait and see if it stops working again in 2 more months. :( disappointed but not surprised.

Mas: dopo 4 mesi si spegne dopo 1-2 ore. una sola conclamata visto che molti utenti hanno segnalato questo problema, non capisco perchè amazon permetta di vendere hardware così scadenti.

Sébastien Gelé: Il est vachement long à être mis sous tension…
Il y a peu de chose compatible avec cette marque.. je regrette un peu

Cheryl W.: This product looses it's charge after about 6 month and trying to contact the seller was hopeless!

william1020: I waited for a year to buy this because, yes, it is ridiculously expensive and also because the reviews are so bad. I'm worried about why the seller doesn't try and reach out to those here who have posted their problems all over this page. Does this company care at all about their Amazon reviews? They're atrocious.

Anyway, the product is great for Shopify and I've seen the issue described over and over of the scanner all of a sudden "not working". Here's the thing, you simply need to not throw the instruction manual away. Even if you do, go on google and search "Socket Scan Mobile Get Started Guide". There are a few very important steps with this thing that tend to feel a bit tedious but are really simple...

if you are setting up for the first time, changing phones or the scanner just isnt working...
1. turn the scanner on (wait for it to beep flash blue)
2. turn to the page called "Bluetooth Connection Modes"
3. scan the "Basic Mode (HID) (default)" barcode
4. wait for the scanner to reboot
5. scan the "Application Mode (MFiSPP) for Apple iOS devices" barcode
6. go to bluetooth on your iphone and pair it
(or just go to youtube...

Jennifer H.: The barcode scanner works well, if you have the right hardware. I hope that I could use it independently, but it requires a tablet that can access the Shopify app that I need to access my inventory. Ended up returning it, but if I had a more tech savvy team this would work great.

Shadylady: I have seen some of the reviews for this scanner and was hesitant to get it but it's the only one that is compatible with the Shopify POS. I am surprised at how easy it is to use and it's reliability. It certainly makes check out easy and customers are impressed at how we are able to quickly get their items scanned and checked-out. So far so good with this scanner. I will come back in a few months and provide an update.
