It helps to give you a better view and analysis of your sales reports. > > **Cons**: I didn’t like the download button only has 1 option. It’s good to add pdf option too. > > Lightspeed has help me with sales analysis better. It’s gives you a report graph to compair sales in whatever period or in categories. ----- ### "Lightspeed Retail" — 4.0/5 > **Angelica** | *19 November 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: User-friendly and makes it easy to manage inventory, process sales, and check stock quickly. Helps speed up transactions and reduce errors. The system’s ability to handle multiple payment methods is also a big plus. > > **Cons**: The system can sometimes be slow, especially during busy times, which can frustrate customers. There’s also a bit of a learning curve when it comes to using some of the more advanced features. ----- ### "Will NEVER recommend" — 1.0/5 > **Heidi** | *8 July 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Not able to use after paying for 9 months to get set up - nothing good to say. Lots of fake promises > > **Cons**: Lied to from the start and now will not return my email with a request for refund after proof (emails saved) were sent. > > November 2024 sent an email of 'needs' that are required to sign on. All of them were available. Now June 2025 and getting ready to go live (as our busy season started in April) and find out that one of my requirements cannot be done. One that is non-negotiable nor a work around available. Hundreds of hours wasted and no one will return my email with a request for refund.... ----- ### "Pretty easy to use and does what I need" — 5.0/5 > **Max** | *28 May 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nice for keeping track of stuff in the shop, and doesn’t take too long to figure out. I liked how fast you can ring things up when it's busy. Helps the day move along better. > > **Cons**: A couple times it lagged when switching screens but nothing major. Still worked fine in the end, just made me wait a few extra seconds here and there. ----- ### "Thank you Lightspeed" — 5.0/5 > **Cody** | *24 November 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: the amazing POS and Inventory management offered from Lightspeed. > > **Cons**: That we didnt start using Lightspeed earlier. > > Super simple and easy for my consumers transactions. ----- Page: 1 / 40\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/120491/lightspeed-retail?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/120491/lightspeed-retail) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
