Customer Identification at Checkout

Lightspeed Retail — Customer Identification

How to identify a SpenVest customer at checkout using Lightspeed Retail.

1 min read

In Lightspeed Retail, staff should start the sale, add the customer to the sale, and then complete the transaction normally. Depending on your Lightspeed setup, staff may choose Add Customer, create a new customer, or attach an existing one before payment. The customer should be attached before completing checkout so the transaction can be linked correctly.

Lightspeed product variants

Lightspeed offers multiple product lines including Retail (R-Series) and Retail POS (X-Series). The customer attachment workflow may differ between these products. Refer to the appropriate help links below for your specific Lightspeed version.

Add customer to the sale

3

Confirm customer is attached

Verify the customer appears on the sale before finalising the transaction.
