This article lists the hardware known to work with Sharper's Point of Sale and reporting hardware needs, organized by device type. Most hardware is standard consumer equipment you can source yourself — credit card readers are the one exception.

Any computer meeting the following specifications will work with Sharper:

Sharper's standard card reader, used at the register to accept tap, insert, and swipe payments.

All card readers, including the VP8300, must be ordered directly from SharperMMS rather than a general retailer, since each unit requires firmware specific to Sharper before it can process payments.

Used at the register to scan barcodes on items or labels. Unlike the card reader, scanners are not sold by SharperMMS — bring your own.

Any USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner that emulates a keyboard (sometimes called "keyboard wedge" or "HID" mode) will work with Sharper — there is no required brand or model.

Connection: USB or Bluetooth, in keyboard-wedge / HID mode.

Scan timing can be adjusted in POS Settings — see Validation Delay and Barcode Scanner Average Time in How to Set Up a Point of Sale.

Used at restaurant and bar locations to print kitchen or bar order tickets.

Used at the register to print customer receipts.

Once your printer is connected to your network, see Company Settings - Printers to add it in Sharper, and How-to Connect Receipt Printer to New Station for connecting a printer to a specific register station.

Any cash drawer that connects via a phone jack (RJ11/RJ12) cable to your receipt printer will work with Sharper.
