Square Register Retail Kit

A ready-to-run retail checkout with scanning, labeling, receipts, and cash handling built in

The Square Register Retail Kit is a U.S. retail checkout bundle for shops that want one counter station to sell products, accept chip and contactless payments, print receipts, scan barcodes, create product labels, and manage cash. It includes Square Register (2nd generation), a Star Micronics receipt printer, an APG cash drawer, a Zebra ZD411 barcode label printer, and a Honeywell Voyager USB scanner.

Built for your day-to-day

How it fits your business

The $1,799 bundle can make sense for a grocery, clothing, home-and-gift, or wine-and-liquor store opening a staffed checkout. Plan carefully: barcode-label printing on the included Zebra printer is listed for Square Plus or Premium in retail mode, and the Register must stay plugged in and connected by Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

Key capabilities

What you can do

  • One staffed retail station

    The bundle combines the seller touchscreen and customer-facing display with receipt printing, a cash drawer, barcode scanning, and barcode-label printing, so a product-focused counter does not need a separate tablet or a collection of individually sourced peripherals.

  • Fast item lookup at the counter

    The included Honeywell Voyager USB scanner is intended for barcode checkout, helping staff call up catalog items instead of scrolling through the item library. Square’s compatibility guidance confirms that the kit’s Register platform supports compatible USB scanners, with model compatibility needing to be checked against the current table.

  • Useful retail labeling workflow

    The included Zebra ZD411 is the kit’s barcode-label printer. Square says barcode label printing is available with Square Plus and Square Premium when using retail mode, making the bundle better suited to stores that maintain labeled inventory than to a basic cash-only checkout.

  • Customer-facing payment display

    Register’s detachable customer display lets shoppers pay by EMV chip or NFC contactless methods such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay. Swipe payments require the separately sold Square Reader for magstripe.

  • Retail operations beyond checkout

    Square’s retail mode adds inventory features such as low-stock alerts, integrated in-person and online sales, and vendor sales reports; the retail setup guide also covers item catalogs, inventory, purchase orders, customer directory, and reporting workflows.

Product details

What is in the box

The U.S. kit includes Square Register (2nd generation), a Star Micronics STAR TSP143IV UE receipt printer from the TSP100IV Series, a 16 x 17 inch dual-connectivity USB/printer-driven cash drawer, a Zebra ZD411 USB barcode label printer, and a Honeywell Voyager USB barcode scanner. Square lists the manufacturer identifiers as Star Micronics 39654510, APG Vasario VB554A-BL1616, Zebra ZD4A022-D01M00EZ, and Honeywell 1470G2D-2USB-1-N. Optional add-ons include a Square Reader for magstripe, labels, and receipt paper.

Plans, payments, and checkout economics

Square Point of Sale has a Free plan with no monthly location fee, while the U.S. pricing page lists Square Plus at $49 per month per location and Square Premium at $149 per month per location. The current published in-person tap, dip, or swipe rates are 2.6% + 15¢ on Free, 2.5% + 15¢ on Plus, and 2.4% + 15¢ on Premium. The kit page specifically limits barcode label printing to Square Plus and Premium in retail mode, so a buyer should not assume the included label printer has the same feature access on Free. Square’s published rates and plan terms should be rechecked at checkout.

Setup and meaningful limitations

Register requires AC power and Wi-Fi or Ethernet; it is not battery powered and cannot use captive-portal networks. The first software update is mandatory. U.S.-intended Square hardware is not approved for use outside the United States. The kit is powered by Square point of sale and does not support third-party non-Square POS software. Receipt, drawer, scanner, and label accessories remain subject to Square’s current compatibility tables and connection requirements.

Pricing, rates, plan fees, availability, and delivery estimates can change; the values here were verified on 2026-10-27 from official U.S. Square pages.

The $88/month figure is financing, not the product’s cash price or a recurring software subscription, and requires credit approval and geographic eligibility.

Square’s product page lists barcode label printing with Square Plus and Premium using retail mode; do not promise that feature on Square Free.

A separate Square Reader for magstripe is required for swipe payments and is not included unless added to the order.

Included and replacement accessories should be checked against Square’s live compatibility tables before substituting models.

No image is recommended without confirmed marketing rights; real Square hardware must not be represented with an unlicensed or generated lookalike image.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does the Square Register Retail Kit include everything needed for a retail checkout?

It includes the Register (2nd generation), receipt printer, cash drawer, Zebra barcode-label printer, and Honeywell USB barcode scanner. You still need a Square account, internet, power, inventory/POS setup, and labels or receipt paper if you do not add the optional supplies. A magstripe reader is optional and sold separately.

Do I need Square Plus to use this kit?

The kit can run Square Point of Sale, but Square specifically lists barcode-label printing as available with Square Plus and Premium in retail mode. If labels are central to your store, confirm the current plan entitlement and the $49 per-location Plus price before ordering.

Can I use the kit with another POS system or without internet?

The kit page says third-party non-Square POS software is not supported. Register requires power and Wi-Fi or Ethernet for setup and operation; it cannot connect to captive-portal networks. Square offers offline payments in some circumstances, but the current offline-payment rules and risk disclosures should be reviewed before relying on that mode.
