coreSTORE- FAQ: Recommended Hardware List

Point of Sale All-in-One Desktop Systems

If you have room on your counter, we recommend an all-in-one big screen PC. The nice thing with all-in-ones is that there are very few cables, so it will look elegant on your counter. We like Lenovo products because of the quality and price.

Scanners

Any wireless or USB scanner will work with coreSTORE. However, if you intend on scanning customers' driver's licenses, you need a 2D scanner, which can be used for both scanning products and licenses. Not all 2D scanners are the same, and some of the lower quality ones may not work properly. The best scanners for the job we've found are made by Teemi and Tera, available on Amazon from $40 - $100.
