Hi. How can we help?

About payment methods and payment types

With Lightspeed Restaurant, you can define which payment options are available when checking out sales. By creating a payment method in the Back Office, you can choose to take cash, integrated credit card payments, gift cards and more. Once a payment method has been created, that payment option will be available in all locations and visible in your reporting.
By default, certain payment methods are already added to your account when you get started with Lightspeed Restaurant, such as cash, check, and invoice.
