Scale Integration Options for Clover POS Systems

Scale Integration Options for Clover POS Systems

Article Category: Clover POS Hardware & Apps / Peripherals Last Updated: January 2026 Applies to: Clover Station, Mini, Flex, and other compatible devices

Overview

Many merchants transitioning to Clover POS need reliable scale integration for weighing items (e.g., in delis, produce sections, bakeries, or yogurt shops). Clover supports scale connectivity in two primary ways:

  1. Direct physical (wired) connection for automatic weight transmission to the POS.
  2. Indirect integration via label-printing scales and CSI Works barcode parser apps.

This article clarifies the available options and compatibility.

Direct Wired Scale Integration

Clover POS only supports one specific scale model for direct USB cable connection that automatically passes weight data to the Clover system:

  • CAS SW-RS (also referred to as SW-20 or similar variants in the series, with capacities like 20 lbs).
    • This is the sole model that physically integrates with Clover devices via USB—no other scale brands or models support this direct wired interaction.
    • The CAS SW-RS is compact, easy to clean, and supports switching between pounds, grams, ounces, and kilograms.
    • It is ideal for scenarios requiring seamless, real-time weight input without manual entry or barcode scanning.
  • CSI Works provides setup guidance, testing videos, and related apps (e.g., Unit Tare app compatibility for certain features).

If your prospect requires direct scale-to-POS connectivity (as in their current non-Clover system), the CAS SW-RS is the confirmed and accurate choice.

Label-Printing Scale Integration (Alternative Option)

For merchants who prefer or already use label-printing scales (common in grocery, meat, or deli environments), Clover can integrate via CSI Works apps that parse barcodes printed on labels:

This method does not require a direct physical connection to Clover but relies on scanning the printed label at checkout.

Recommendations

  • If your merchant needs direct scale integration like their current POS: Recommend the CAS SW-RS.
  • If they use or want label-printing workflows: Recommend any compatible label scale + CSI Works barcode parser app(s).
  • For demos, setup guides, or purchasing:
    • Visit csiworks.net for apps and product info.
    • Check csi.works for how-to resources.
    • View demos at pointofinteraction.net.
      • Explore Clover-specific scale videos on CSI Works channels (e.g., connection and testing for CAS SW-RS).

If you have questions about compatibility for a specific setup or need assistance with app installation, contact CSI Works support or your agent.
