Rated 5 out of 5 stars

We recently needed help configuring the correct DNS values to authenticate and verify the 'Generic and Service addresses' for two Lightspeed websites, each hosted by a different provider with unique settings.
Mr. Bester provided assistance by clearly explaining every step, staying persistent with follow-ups, and patiently guiding us through the mistakes we made along the way.
All was up and running perfectly within just a few days.

Great support service.

LOVE this POS system! We were with Quickbooks POS for 15 years, up until they closed it down. Then we tried Shopify, but it didn't work the best with our retail brick & mortar set up, since they are more online shopping based. We have been completely happy with every step in our Lightspeed journey, from the sales department answering our questions honestly about what their system could and could not do, to the onboarding of actually getting our existing info from the old system into Lightspeed, to the daily use of the system. Support has always been super prompt whether it's via a chat or phone call. Their support resources often answer my questions before I even need to contact them, but when I do need their help it has been amazing!! Truly can't say enough about this company, very happy we made the switch!! :) For reference we are a brick and mortar feed store with no online sales. We deal in cash, checks, credit cards and charge accounts. 90% of our sales take place in person in our store. If you have a similar set up I highly recommend using Lightspeed Retail X series.

If I could give less than 1 star, I would. This scam of a company is the utmost incompetent business I have ever experienced, with zero customer service skills or support and pathetic attempts at over-charging whenever they can. I've had to cancel credit cards and been lied to over and over again by sales reps (revolving door since they can't keep anyone on their teams) and I would avoid this POS company at all costs. Save the numerous headaches and go with Shopify or a brand that is reputable with service that actually exists.

Laura Saxe is absolutely the best Implementation Consultant ever! I started my business with a different POS system, which I will not name, but to put it simple - they did not deliver what they promised. Someone referred me to Lightspeed and I cannot say enough how impressed I was/am with the service Laura provided. She got me up and running quickly and was very thorough.
