For payment providers that are not currently integrated with Lightspeed, you can use a non-integrated payment type.

Non-integrated card payments require you to manually enter the payment amount into the card terminal and process the payment, then confirm in Retail POS that the payment is accepted to close the sale. 

Using Retail POS, you can use any credit card/EFTPOS card payment terminal as a non-integrated stand-alone terminal and create a button for each payment type.

Tip

You can create more than one payment button for each payment type, for example, Credit card - Visa, Credit card - AMEX, Credit card - Mastercard.

This will allow you to better track your payments in reporting and register closures.

Setting up a non-integrated payment type

To set up your non-integrated payment type:

1. Navigate to Settings > Payment types.

   

2. Click Add payment type.
3. Select Cash or Other payment method from the dropdown.
   • Cash: for payments such as cash, checks, promotional vouchers, etc. These payment types will not incur card fees when using Cash Discounting.
   • Other payment type: for payments such as non-integrated card payments. These payment types will incur card fees when using Cash Discounting.

   

4. Click Begin setup.

   

5. Type in the name of your payment type.

   

6. For multi-store accounts: Choose the outlet(s) where you want this payment type to be available.
7. Optionally, enter your Gateway URL. This will be provided to you by your payment processor.
8. Click Save payment type.

If the payment type is a non-integrated card payment, you will then need to separately set up your card payment terminal using the directions that came with the terminal.

When the time comes to take payment, you can process the payment using the terminal and hit the corresponding payment button in Retail POS.
