Before you can connect Lightspeed Payments to your Retail POS account and start processing payments, you must complete an application by navigating to Financial Services > Lightspeed Payments and clicking Activate payments. For detailed instructions on filling out an application, follow our Applying for Lightspeed Payments guide.
Once your Lightspeed Payments account is activated and you've received your payment hardware, you're ready to set up your terminal.
The following terminals are compatible with Lightspeed Payments:
USA
- BBPOS Smart Terminal (WisePOS E)
- Mobile Tap (iPad only)
- Mobile Tap v2 (iPad only)
Canada
As a reminder, it is strongly discouraged to obtain card readers or payment terminals from anyone other than your payment processor. Doing so is a security risk and the peripheral likely won't work with your processor.
