Globe GSP30B & GSP30A Compatibility with Clover POS
Both configurations supported—barcode format will determine the right app
Question
A butcher is setting up a Globe GSP30B scale to print barcoded labels for items sold by weight. Another merchant is considering the GSP30A, a slightly different configuration of the same model. Both use Clover POS and want to know: are these Globe scales compatible, and which barcode parser app is needed if they don’t know the barcode format?
Answer
Yes—both the Globe GSP30B and GSP30A models are compatible with Clover POS when used with one of the CSI Works barcode parser apps. These scales are designed to print barcodes containing either total price or total weight, and CSI Works offers apps for both formats.
To scan the labels directly into the Clover Register app and automatically populate the product and pricing, merchants simply need to use the correct CSI Works app:
-
Variable Price Barcode Parser – for price-embedded barcodes
-
Weight Embedded Barcode Parser – for weight-embedded barcodes
🔁 Model Breakdown
Both models are part of the same scale platform. The difference is in configuration and display, not barcode output.
| Model | Configuration |
|---|---|
| GSP30B | Bench display |
| GSP30A | Alternate config (e.g. with different housing or display style) |
| GSP30A | Alternate config (e.g. with different housing or display style) |
Both models print labels the same way and are compatible with CSI Works apps.
🧠 Which Barcode Parser App Should You Use?

⚙️ Clover Inventory Setup Tips
To ensure everything works smoothly at the register:
-
Define the item in Clover Inventory as Variable Price Type
-
Use the Product Code field (not SKU) to match the PLU used in the scale
-
Install the barcode parser app that matches your barcode type
Once done, scanning the label at checkout will automatically pull in the item and correct pricing.
