Pros

“A sudden "policy change" and now we're getting a additional $400 per month charge on top of our subscription fee until we switch to their merchant card service. ”

Matt C.

Pres

“I also had to get a separate plugin (from a 3rd-party) in order to fully get my POS and website to sync.”

Carleton T.

“It’s gives you a report graph to compair sales in whatever period or in categories.”

Amile B.

Pros

“The till functions are pretty intuitive and it has been very easy to train our team.”

Carol H.

Guest Services Coordinator

“Nice to be able to integrate on line store with Shopify add on.”

Greg P.

Owner

“As a Point of Sale system, training for staff is straight-forward and easy to complete.”

Orchard Market Supervisor

Cons

“After explaining the situation and providing written proof of what had been promised to me, [sensitive content hidden] assured me that the fee would be credited back to my account and that it wouldn’t be charged again until the end of my subscription term in May. If we don’t sign up with them for credit card processing before May, they will continue to charge us $ 930 per month for not processing with them. While the issue was eventually resolved as far as crediting us the $ 930, (after significant delays and frustration), the experience left a bad taste.”

Giuliana F.

“I’m now out over $2,000 for IT fees, paying more than $300 per month for a service that wasn’t what I was promised, and I’m now looking for a new POS system, because we do not want to process with them because of the bad reputation that they have with the credit card processing. ”

Giuliana F.

“Long wait time for customer support, and we were lied to by not being transparent about credit card fees for not processing with Lightspeed”

Cons

“The reports are hard to work with because they don't feed off each other. When investigating you have to come out and go back in to another report to complete the investigation. ”
