Really wish it could be 5-stars

Don’t be under any mis-impression, Lightspeed is a phenomenally powerful system, and ticks most requirements boxes for pretty much every retailer. But it could be better.

PROS - impressively seamless cross platform between desktop & iOS, very versatile inventory control & reporting, support is exemplary (you’ll need it), main interface is efficient, logical and straightforward, and the integration with iZettle is a joy once you’ve got it working properly.

CONS - it’s not cheap, it certainly has the feel of multiple separately developed apps that have been bolted & bridged together (which it is), annoyingly clunky and slightly illogical when you tap in to many of the more powerful areas of the system, especially the workorders feature, which is excellent as a concept but has has way too many process stages to complete a transaction, particularly having to come out of the retail operation into the admin back-end to finish a job and take payment (very time-consuming)

Hopefully Lightspeed are listening to the feedback from their users like us.

If you are in the UK, you MUST use Zettle

In the UK, This app gives you no other choice but to use iZettle (PayPal’s) Card readers on an IPAD only with it’s API. Believe me I have tried with other companies that mistakenly believed this was not the case, but Uk users are indeed tied to this very expensive card processor at 2.75%. Anyone would think this is an under the table deal between Lightspeed and Paypal!

I am very disappointed that even though the latest update tells us that the app now work with a Stripe Card Reader, it is ONLY available in the US. What a JOKE, APIs are supposed to enable software and cloud app users the change broaden the usefulness of what they use, and allow them to have a choice in what they connect to the system to makes things EASIER! Instead LS silently Dictates to us what me must use with it.

Also the card payment screen often freezes which disables you from completing a payment once a card has been approved on the machine. This means you have to go the the back-office cloud site and manually mark this is paid by card, to complete the transaction and print a receipt, which of course will ruin the accuracy of what actually happened on the system.

It is also a crying shame that users are forced to use an iPad to take a card Payment, and that there is no other Lightspeed POS software for any other device or operating system to do this, which again seems like another under the table exclusivity deal with Apple, not just PayPal.

Sort it out Lightspeed.
