Lightspeed's functionalities are aligned with retailers' and restaurateurs' priorities. It simplifies day-to-day tasks so you're free to focus on what matters: business growth and customer experience
Whether you're a small business, ecommerce platform, marketplace, enterprise, or developer, PayPal Commerce Platform offers what you need to run your business and help it grow.
Great service, great product. We switched over to this as our POS system and we are very happy with the change.
You choose the first letter of the vendor and then you have to arrow down. Pretty dumb to complain about this, I know.
I love the flexibility of Lightspeed as it offers a multitude of integrations and options for expanding programs to our customers. We use their gift card and customer loyalty integrations every day.
Customer no service tells you what's wrong doesn't listen to problems.
Love using it, it's super easy. If I ever have an issue or I don't understand how to do something their 'help' function is really useful and the chat and phone support have been a real lifesaver.
He takes 2-3 days to respond to me and the tells me that I would not be receiving my money back because the product is damaged.
The conversion went as close to seamless as possible, the on boarding and continuing support is outstanding, and the product fits our needs beyond our expectations.
There are no plans for a solution-based response. For the most part, tech support gives their best effort to solve problems - problems that occur due to an inadequate product.
For these occasions, I love having the PayPal Here app & the accompanying card reader that plugs into my smartphone. It's super easy to use & everyone recognizes it's legitimacy.
The first time I set it up was a headache and when I was freelancing, I lost a client because they did not know how to use it.
It helps me to receive payments from all over the world with great security. An important feature of it is that it accepts all kinds of payments and makes me tension-free about payments.
What I dislike is the higher fees charged when taking remote payments over face-to-face transactions.
Since I have started Papal, I always had great experience, its safe, reliable and secure: The 3 words when you deal with clients and money. Customer service is understanding and reliable.
The only thing I dislike about this app is the percentage it takes from your pay.
In general, I really like the application, it helps me with international, national, personal and business purchases. I believe that the application fulfills its purpose perfectly.
There was no major features of this software that I disliked.
Steve J.: Hi, I'm Steve. I'm a business owner, and I give Lightspeed Retail five out of five stars. For more reviews, click below. Before our Lightspeed Retail, we had EMSI, which didn't work for us, because we were looking for a cloud-based solution, something that was a little bit more flexible that we could take offsite and use easier. Lightspeed fills that need very well. For us, Lightspeed offers the flexibility of working offsite or onsite. It offers 24-hour tech support, and it's constantly adding new features and responding to suggestions from its customer base. The onboarding process for Lightspeed was easy, straight ahead. As long as you're familiar with exporting documents through an Excel sheet, you can upload them right there and into your new system. If you're considering Lightspeed Retail, make sure that all your data is organized and effective. That way you can make an easier transition into the new system.
Tiffani Z: Hi, my name is Tiffani. I'm the director of operations for a professional development company, and I give PayPal Here a five out of five rating. We use PayPal Here for all of our in-person events to receive payment from our customers for the things that they purchased from us. What I really like about PayPal Here is that it's super simple to use, both as a user and as a customer. There's actually not a lot of steps. It's a very, very simple application and program. So there's not a lot of room for error, which is really nice. One thing I think could be improved with PayPal Here is that the application is so simple you don't get a lot of information from it. So if there were more of a transaction history or perhaps some more user information that you could pull off the app, that would be helpful. I think they keep it simple so that the actual account user information is secure so that other people within the company can use it without seeing financials, but I think there's a few things that they could probably add.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
