Hi. How can we help?

Setting up WEB-SRM

WEB-SRM is an online-only sales recording module (SRM) required for Quebec businesses to be fiscally compliant. To enable WEB-SRM for your Lightspeed account, you'll first need to obtain activation credentials from Revenu Québec. After completing the enablement process, you can manage certificates for each POS device and view SRM reporting. 

WEB-SRM is required for all restaurant and catering businesses located in Quebec.

  • New businesses registered after November 1, 2023 will be required to use WEB-SRM immediately.
  • Established businesses will have until May 2025 to switch from a physical SRM to WEB-SRM.

For more information on mandatory billing requirements, visit the Revenu Québec website.
