WeedPOS offers scale integration as an optional add-on feature that enables direct communication with compatible weighing scales. The integration works as follows:

1. Connect a compatible scale to your computer via USB or serial port (may require a serial-to-USB adapter)
2. Install our scale integration driver on the POS device
3. Configure the scale in WeedPOS settings (scale model, port, calibration)
4. During sales transactions, weight data is automatically captured from the scale when weighing products

The system supports various scale manufacturers and models, with support for different weight units (grams, ounces). The scale readings are displayed in real-time within the POS interface, and the weight is automatically applied to the transaction.

Scales can be configured for automatic weight capture or manual confirmation, and weight calibration and testing tools are included. This integration eliminates manual weight entry errors and speeds up the sales process.

We don't sell hardware directly, but we provide detailed recommendations for compatible equipment that can be purchased from local or online retailers. Our hardware recommendations are tailored to different club sizes and budgets.

For our European customers, we have partnerships with several regional hardware suppliers who offer pre-configured WeedPOS-compatible hardware bundles. These partners can provide local installation and support services.

Premium and Pro plan subscribers receive personalized hardware recommendations based on their specific operational needs, along with configuration assistance for setting up their equipment.
