Update
Custom amounts for omnichannel gift cards
Omnichannel (in-store and online) gift cards now support fixed denominations (e.g., $10, $15, etc.) and custom amounts.
Update

Lightspeed Retail POS
Update
Set default time for labor items
You can now set a default time when creating labor items and set any tax rate to be used for labor. The work order scheduling page has been updated so time is easier to see at a glance.
Update
Edit purchase order shipment receipts
When you manually edit the received quantity on a shipment receipt, Retail POS adds inventory to the original inventory lot, instead of creating a new lot. This keeps inventory in the same FIFO (first in, first out) order, and streamlines cost adjustments and returns.
Update
View past invoices in Retail POS
Save time by viewing past and present invoices directly in Retail POS. Invoices can still be paid without leaving the Lightspeed POS app.
Update
Improvements to vendor returns
To help your inventory stay up to date, it's now easier to view net cost (now called Unit refund). The summary page now subtracts shipping and other costs on vendor returns. Reopening a vendor return now returns inventory to the original inventory lot.
Update
Track auto-received purchase order units
Auto-received units added from a purchase order to a sale now have their own message in the inventory log.
Update
Better visibility on insufficient stock errors
To make it easier to resolve errors, the insufficient stock error now displays item name and SKU when sending transfers, vendor returns, and building/breaking boxes and assemblies.
Update
Changes to inventory transfers
Retail POS now places inventory in its original lot when returning inventory from a transfer to the original shop, streamlining cost adjustments and vendor returns. Transfers and returns create a single entry in the inventory history log. Updates speed up inventory transfers.
Update
Improvements to item merging
When merging items:
- Available and backordered unboxable/boxable quantities will be recalculated for the destination item and all box variants. Totals will also be updated.
- Quantity on hand (QOH) and backorder totals will be updated.
- Reorder level and reorder point fields will merge.
- An inventory log entry is created, summarizing the inventory change after the source items have been merged.
- The source item inventory logs are reassigned to the destination item and marked as archived. You can use the filter to hide archived entries.
Update
Updates to archived items
To simplify managing archived inventory items, Retail POS now displays an error message when:
- Merging archived items or adding inventory.
- If an item has any inventory when attempting to import a new archived item.
- Sending, returning, or receiving inventory, and sending/reopening vendor returns, if the items or the affected shop is archived.
Update
Improvements to boxes and assemblies
Backend improvements have sped up building and breaking boxes and assemblies and make cost calculations more accurate when breaking assemblies. You can also now build boxes from the item page.
Update
Improved security on custom buttons
Custom menu buttons now include a cryptographic signature for external URLs, helping partners build more secure applications.
