Question
A meat market just purchased a Torrey WLS-40 scale and wants to integrate it with Clover POS for seamless checkout. The plan is to print barcode labels for weighed items and scan them at the register. However, the merchant isn’t sure whether the scale prints price-embedded or weight-embedded barcodes. Will the setup work? And which CSI Works app should they use?
Answer
Yes—the Torrey WLS Series scales, including WLS-20 and WLS-40, are compatible with Clover POS when paired with the correct CSI Works barcode parser app. Whether your barcode includes the total price or total weight, you’ll be covered by either the Variable Price Barcode Parser or the Weight Embedded Barcode Parser.
The Torrey WLS Series scales are programmable, which means they can be set to print either:
A price-embedded barcode (barcode contains total cost), or
A weight-embedded barcode (barcode contains total weight)
Once you confirm how the scale is configured, you’ll know which app to use.
Barcode Format | Use This CSI Works App |
---|---|
Barcode contains total price | Variable Price Barcode Parser |
Barcode contains total weight | Weight Embedded Barcode Parser |
If you don’t know what’s in the barcode:
Print a test label from your WLS-20 or WLS-40 scale.
Look at the label—does the barcode represent the price or weight?
Still unclear? Send a photo of the label to CSI Works, and we’ll help identify the format.
Regardless of barcode format:
Define the product in Clover Inventory as a Variable Price Type
Use the Product Code field (not SKU) to match the PLU number programmed into the scale
Install the correct CSI Works parser app based on the barcode format
Scan the label at the Clover Register and the product and correct amount will be auto-filled

These scales are commonly found in butcher shops, deli counters, and small markets where speed, precision, and Clover integration are important. With CSI Works barcode parser apps, Torrey WLS Series scales offer a clean workflow from scale to sale.
