Lightspeed Payments updates.
Customize chargeback dispute notification recipients
Choose who in your business receives automated chargeback dispute emails and configure the preferred communication language for each recipient. You can add email recipients by location so they only receive disputes regarding sales from that location, providing you with more transparency and control.
Surcharging is now available in more regions
If surcharging is available in your area (US, Canada, Australia), you can choose to offset your credit card processing fees by transferring a portion of the cost to your customer through a credit card surcharge.
Note that surcharging rules and regulations must be followed to ensure full transparency and compliance. Regulations vary depending on your region. Surcharging may not be available in your region. For a full list of regulations, contact your local regulators.
