What are embedded vs. non-embedded payments?

Lightspeed Payments is an embedded payment processor, meaning it communicates with Lightspeed POS to process payments. Transactions are automatically recorded in your POS system, saving time and reducing errors because it eliminates the need for manual entry. Embedded payments make for a better checkout experience for both your employees and customers. Plus, you have access to plenty of valuable info including batch settlements, reports and customer data.

With non-embedded payments, processors don't communicate with the POS system. Transaction data isn't recorded—you have to manually input information, making the checkout process more complex.
