Totally irresponsible Lightspeed. Since my last post on 31st Jan, Nothing, Nothing has been done!! Got an email on 23rd Feb stating that the job had been done. However, I found that it was just not true! Got an amazing reply from Lightspeed: (one would think the engineers who worked there knew the importance of testing and then certifying the job as done) Lightspeed reply: Now we discovered that the fix works only on the first print (right after the sale is completed on the sell screen), however, the reprints are showing net figures again: Below is my post about a problem from November 2023 and as on 25th February, it still is serious enough for us to have got a warning from the Department of Economic Affairs Dubai UAE, on incorrect invoices being issued. My original post: Lightspeed is not good for Tax inclusive Stores. The subtotals displayed are wrong. This was acknowledged by Lightspeed person and raised a complaint in November. Till date nothing!! I was told that the development team will do so if they find it necessary. How much more ridiculous can one get? EG : Total Gross sale is 1390. VAT @5% is 66.19. Discount is 278 (gross). Subtotal shown by Lightspeed Vend is 1337.05. WHY?? Either show 1323.81 and below that the discount 264.76 (net figures) or show 1390 discount 278. Show VAT @ 52.95. Gross payable @ 1112.00

The product itself is decent but that's… The product itself is decent but that's where it ends. Support is limited to emails only or some sort of chat that isn't chat (there is nobody there). Add to that their unwillingness to fix issues. If you want to upload csv's you need to use Open Office instead of Excel as they are unable to decode Excel csv's. Unbelievable.

Worst experience ever... Vend sales team smoothly made big promises and took money for onboarding, after a few months we found that they never had promised features. When I asked for the requested feature - they suggested workarounds. Taken my business to another POS which is 50% cheaper and provides many features and excellent support. I would suggest doing your research before signing up for Vend. They have wasted my 4 months...

Started with VendHQ POS Started with VendHQ POS, which was great. Lightspeed purchased them and now force you to use their payment processing system or else charge you processing fees if you use a third party processor. Don't know how this can be legal. Going to drop them

RUN FAST AND DONT LOOK BACK RUN FAST AND DONT LOOK BACK! Since Vend and Lightspeed merged they have become so arrogant. If I knew what I know now I would never go with Vend/Lightspeed. For the same features you can get systems out their at half price or less. I ended up having to pay for advanced plan to use e-commerce and inventory report which us $279aud per month. They just launched new payment method and are forcing me into using it or I will be charged extra transaction fee for staying with my existing provider. They are straight out rude and arrogant. If I wanted all in one system (which you will be even more trapped) I would have gone with Square from the beginning.
