SocketScan S700, Linear Barcode Scanner, Black

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)" barcode4. wait for the scanner to reboot5. scan the "Application Mode (MFiSPP) for Apple iOS devices" barcode6. go to bluetooth on your iphone and pair it(or just go to youtube and put /watch?v=qXWN7K5U1dM at the end of the URL)1/15/24:If your iPad has the Bluetooth unsuccessful pairing error, do the same steps^ but begin with the factory reset barcode, before step one. It will turn off. Then turn it back on, do basic hid, then application mode, then pair on iPad under settings > Bluetooth6/11/24:our scanner stopped working today...shopify updated their pos software...now the pairing to the ipad shopify pos app asks you to scan a barcode (in the shopify app onscreen). What we realized today is that if we DONT scan that...and just hit next, it works

Bought two because the original scanner would crap out in a year or so, The stand by is dusty because it has never let us down. Would highly recommend this scanner and buy again, but It just keeps working!

Great value for the money, easy to use and program, great for small business

We bought a second one because the first one died. The second one had one redeeming feature: it was bright yellow so we could find it easily. But the battery power died quickly. So then we bought a third one, a red heavier one that seemed to be a newer model. But that one never worked properly; strange beeping, inconsistently well-behaved, frustrating for both staff and customers. But support was so bad from Socket that we then went back to using the first one again while having it plugged in most of the time since at least it worked reliably (I should have sent the second one back to amazon but didn't) .. now we finally bought a third one from a different vendor, who advertised a bright blue and sent us a navy one. And now I'm realizing that we won't need to use the socket much longer because we're switching POS systems and I am sending the darned thing back!!!

Compatible with Lightspeed pos system. Last one I had lasted three years.

Purchased this scanner in 2021 to replace the original hardware that we had for 8 years. One and a half years in and it’s not holding a charge. We are a retailer and this scanner gets used a lot but for the $$$ it’s not worth it. Will be looking at a different brand/model for my next purchase.

I was facing issue with battery i contacted the support from Socket MObile app and they got back to me the next day, and level of care was quite surprising as i thought no one would care since i am outside US and warranty is quite useless when i cant take it to service center i thought, but Steve from the company emailed and promised to help so waiting but still i am impressed with speed of response and care from their end. WaitingUpdate. I got my replacement device by fedex. It was super fast and it works perfectly fine.I am a happy customer.They really did what they said. It’s worth it.

I love this little scanner!It is a game changer in keeping accurate inventory. It works amazingly!
