Hi. How can we help?

Signing in and setting your password

In your email inbox, you should have a welcome email with the subject line "Welcome To Lightspeed!". If you're part of the RACS initiative, however, the subject line is "Your Lightspeed username" instead.

In your welcome email, you'll find the email address you need to sign in to Retail POS. As for the password, it's the same one you used for your trial account. If you didn't have a trial account, you need to set up a new password. To securely do so, you need to reset it from the Retail POS Sign-In page.

 

Note: If you currently have an iPad or are waiting for your iPad bundle, we recommend signing in to Retail POS on a desktop. We suggest this because the first portion of the getting started guide is focused on settings and configuring them. It is more efficient to do so on a desktop. Signing in on a desktop also allows you to get started if you're waiting for your iPad bundle to arrive.
