Accessories — Scales
Square’s U.S. scales category is for businesses that price or sell products by weight, such as grocers, delis, candy shops, and other counter-service operations. The current Square Shop lists a Brecknell 6710U USB Scale for $500, including the required 5-foot cable, plus a $29 replacement USB cable for supported scale families.
Built for your day-to-day
The scale has a 30 lb. capacity, LCD display, and five weighing modes. It works with Square Point of Sale on selected Square devices and Android hardware, but it is not supported in bar, quick service, or full service modes. Confirm the exact POS device, connection hub, and operating mode before buying; Square’s product detail and compatibility matrix currently disagree about Square Register support.
Key capabilities
Square describes supported scales as a way to sell items by weight. That fits grocery departments, deli portions, bulk goods, candy, and similar products where a measured quantity is part of the checkout flow.
The listed USB Scale bundle includes a Brecknell 6710U digital scale and the required USB cable. Square lists a stainless-steel platter, blue LCD, 30 lb. capacity, and five modes: grams, kilograms, pounds, ounces, and pounds:ounces.
Square says the USB scale and its replacement cable can be used with any Square plan in standard or retail mode. A paid plan is not required just to connect the scale, although advanced inventory controls have separate plan pricing.
The supported USB workflow covers Square Terminal with its Hub, Square Handheld with its Hub, Square Stand, and Android tablets or phones with a USB port. Square Stand includes a USB hub for compatible accessories.
Square’s inventory tools can track stock in real time and provide low-stock alerts and reporting. Square Free includes basic item and catalog management; paid Retail tiers add capabilities such as unit costs, purchase orders, vendor management, and advanced inventory reporting.
Explore the details
The U.S. accessories catalog lists two scale-related products: the Brecknell 6710U USB Scale at $500, and a $29 USB Cable for USB Scale. The cable is for Brecknell 6700U series, CAS SW-RS series, and Magellan 9400 and 9500 scanner-series scales; it does not include a scale.
The Brecknell bundle connects by USB. Square Terminal and Square Handheld require the separate Hub for Square Terminal; Android requires a USB port; Square Stand uses its compatible USB hub. Square explicitly says the USB scale is not supported in bar, quick service, or full service modes, so restaurant operators should not assume that a restaurant-mode setup can use this accessory.
Square’s compatibility matrix lists Brecknell 6710U as compatible with Square Terminal, Square Handheld, Square Stand, iOS with Square Reader, and Android with Square Reader, but not Square Register. The product detail separately lists Square Register among compatible devices. Because these official pages conflict, verify with Square before pairing a 6710U with Register; this record recommends only the device combinations consistently supported by the product detail and matrix.
Plan details
The U.S. Square Shop lists the Brecknell 6710U USB Scale bundle at $500.00 one-time, or $46.00/month with financing when signed-in merchants qualify. A replacement USB cable is $29.00 one-time. The scale itself has no required monthly software subscription and Square says it works with any Square plan in standard or retail mode.
Per tap, dip, or swipe on the published U.S. Square Free plan; applies to payments, not to scale hardware.
Per tap, dip, or swipe on the published U.S. Square Plus plan; plan is $49/month per location.
Per tap, dip, or swipe on the published U.S. Square Premium plan; plan is $149/month per location.
Financing quote shown for the $500 scale bundle; merchant must be signed in and qualify, APR is 15%, terms vary, sales tax may be due, and availability exclusions and credit approval apply.
Square’s product detail says the Brecknell 6710U connects to Square Register, while Square’s U.S. compatibility matrix marks that model as incompatible with Square Register. This is an unresolved official-source discrepancy.
The scale is a USB accessory and is not a wireless or standalone payment device. Terminal and Handheld require the separate Hub for Square Terminal.
Square’s product page states 30 lb. (13.6 kg) in descriptive copy but lists 30 lb. (15 kg) in the capacity field. The reliable common figure is 30 lb.; verify metric capacity with Square before publishing a kilogram conversion.
The $46/month figure is optional hardware financing, not a required subscription. Financing is subject to credit approval, eligibility, term availability, and geographic exclusions stated by Square.
The official compatibility page lists additional third-party models, including Star Micronics mG-S8200, CAS SW-RS and PD-2, and several Magellan scanner scales; compatibility varies by Square device and connection type.

Questions
No. Square says the Brecknell USB scale can be used with any Square plan in standard or retail mode. Square Free provides basic item and catalog tools; Retail Plus and Premium add deeper inventory functions such as unit costs, vendor and purchase-order management, and advanced reports.
Square’s product detail names Square Stand, Square Register, Square Handheld, Square Terminal, and Android devices with USB. The compatibility matrix confirms Terminal, Handheld, Stand, iOS with Square Reader, and Android with Square Reader, but marks Register as not compatible. Because of that conflict, verify Register support with Square before ordering.
Do not assume so. Square explicitly says the USB scale is not supported when using bar, quick service, or full service modes. The safe published use case is Square Point of Sale in standard or retail mode.
