What’s new in Lightspeed Retail’s app version 2.18? 

The Sales screen is getting a new look! We’ve updated the interface with a number of changes, some purely aesthetic, and some designed to streamline the process of completing a cash transaction. We’ve also brought the option to make notes on line items in a sale to the app, previously only available through the Retail Manager!

New Keyboard for Cash Payments

In an effort to streamline the payment process, a new keyboard design has been implemented for cash payments. This new interface offers several features:

  • The Payment Amount field is automatically populated with the full amount due to expedite paying with exact change. Entering an alternate amount will overwrite this field.
  • Suggested Amounts let you quickly enter logical choices for payment. For example, if the amount due is $14.56, Suggested Amounts will allow you to enter $15, $20, or $50 with a single tap.
  • Denominations in your local currency can be quickly selected from the left of the number pad. Selecting the same denomination repeatedly will accumulate that amount in the Payment Amount field.

Notes can be made on items in a sale

The ability to include notes on a line item in a sale has always been a feature on the Retail Manager side of the app. It is now available in the point of sale side of the Lightspeed Retail app as well when editing a line item!
