Lightspeed Scanner (X)

Lightspeed Scanner is the mobile companion app for the Lightspeed Retail (X-Series) Point-of-Sale (POS) system.

This app allows users to manage their Lightspeed product catalog, sell to customers, and handle product inventory from the convenience of a mobile phone. Lightspeed Scanner turns your device's camera into a powerful barcode reader, making it fast and easy to identify and count products from your Retail catalog.

Key features of Lightspeed Scanner:
• Add or edit products: Record Name, Description, Price, SKU Codes, Locations, and Product Images directly to your Lightspeed Retail catalog.
• Sell from anywhere: Turn your phone into a mobile register. Accept payment via Tap to Pay for iPhone (Lightspeed Payments users only), sell On Account, or Park sales to complete them on any in-store register.
• View product information: Search your product catalog and view details like price, stock levels, descriptions, and images.
• Inventory management: Perform or schedule full and partial inventory counts. Create or add to supplier purchase orders and outlet transfer orders. You can also receive stock, fulfill transfers, and record inventory adjustments. For additional accuracy, inventory and orders counted on the app must be completed on the Lightspeed Retail POS system, giving managers ultimate control of inventory movements.
