POS Hardware Recommendations
The Basics
Computer for running the software:
- Windows PC, desktop, all-in-one, laptop or tablet. See this FAQ for detailed info.
- Intel Core i5/i7/i9 or AMD Ryzen7 cpu/processor. Core i5/i7 must be at least 10th generation (not Core i3 please, note the higher the Core# the more $$$ you will spend).
- TIP: Before making a purchase consider checking the CPU ID and enter that into the CPU Benchmark Site.
- The PC must score >7,000 on CPUMark indicator to be in the recommended range for GoAntiquing!
- Example, my PC is an Intel Core i9-10980XE, so I enter i9-10980XE. That shows a score of 33,278 which is obviously far higher than I recommend.
- Today's PC's are configured with enough memory and hard disk storage for our needs so we do not specify any minimum.
- Printer for reports that use standard copy paper (Note: this can also print receipts)
Credit Card processing option:
- Strongly recommend: contact our integration partner Cardpointe for a device that GoAntiquing! talks to directly, see extensive discussion at our Credit Cards FAQ.
- Other Credit Card machine that is operated separately from the software.
DISCLAIMER: Note that POS Hardware is a constantly changing spectrum of products and cost and availability can be affected by supply chain issues.
NOTE: When it comes to hardware, if it works with Windows then it likely will work with GoAntiquing!. These are just recommendations, not requirements.
POS Hardware Shopping List
If you hit out of stock conditions take model numbers to Amazon or other site and shop for NEW items (seriously do not buy used POS Hardware).

Font Package
When you print barcode labels from within the POS application you will need the font package installed. When Dealers use the DMI system to enter inventory and print barcode they do not need the font package.
Method1: Install fonts by downloading the installer and then 'Right-click' and 'Run as administrator'.
Method2: Download the font package and unzip, then select all, 'Right-click' and select 'Install for all users.
Method3: Contact us on the Support line to assist
NOTE: For Methods 1 and 2, on Windows 11, you may need to select 'Show additional options' to see the 'Install for all users' option.
