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.

Warning - doesn’t do as their sales people say. Warning. Do your full homework first and don’t just take their sales teams word for it. We signed up after being told by two sales people it would fully integrate with woocommerce however this is incorrect. Their system cannot handle sales prices from woocommerce so if you’re running a normal / simple woocommerce site this point of sale is no good! They refunded half our $356 saying we had use of their system which is untrue. We contacted our sales guy within 48 hours pointing out multiple issues that arose when we tried to use it. Now their account people are saying they have done everything they can and to talk to our sales person, but he has not replied to multiple emails.

Software changes for the worse Just 2 days ago (3 Oct 2023 Vend rolled out another change to customers without advising what they are doing that completely screws up the register closures and the entries that are posted to Xero. They have added a Revenue in Advance listed under Delivery & Pickup (if you please) that is not able to be reconciled or traced to any actual transactions. This has become a habit of late as Vend continues to roll out changes that make the product much worse than it was before - it actually used to be quite good before it was taken over by Lightspeed.

Slow customer service and bugged system Their customer service is slow but helpful. It seems like they're understaffed. There are a lot of bugs in their EPOS system which they haven't fixed, yet keep bringing out unnecessary 'upgrades' like the new product adding feature that actually slows down the process. We went with Vend which was suggested by StoreKit, I wouldn't recommend them earlier as they also have slow customer service.

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
