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.
Key use cases for Lightspeed Scanner:
• Mobile clienteling: Quick access to the catalog makes this a great tool for sales associates assisting customers on the shop floor. Staff can check pricing and availability without leaving the customer's side.
• Mobile selling: Enable stores to sell from anywhere, such as pop-up events or on the shop floor. Lightspeed Scanner allows you to offer dynamic, personalized shopping experiences.
• Mobile catalog management: Edit your Lightspeed product catalog from anywhere to ensure details are always up to date. Changes made in the app sync directly with ecommerce systems connected to Lightspeed Retail.
• Mobile order management: Picking and packing orders is simple on Lightspeed Scanner. With the app installed on your phone, you can pick orders without carrying additional hardware.
• Finding inventory quickly: Check inventory levels across multiple outlets. Product locations are visible and editable within the app, allowing staff to quickly navigate to where products are stored.
• Recording needs: Use the List building function to easily record products that need to be re-stocked, re-labelled, marked as damaged, or transferred to another outlet.
Hardware and Syncing:
• The app syncs directly with your POS system via WiFi or mobile network, ensuring all actions are visible instantly on the Lightspeed Retail system.
• Users of Lightspeed Retail who prefer infrared barcode readers over the built-in camera scanner can connect Socket barcode readers directly to Lightspeed Scanner.

Works great and as described. I can see it being very useful for inventory counts on the go!
Need an easier way to receive order
JessicaBo96
Good app for the most part, but the inability to look up an order number when receiving items is frustrating. It leaves us scrolling through every single order to find the appropriate one to scan.
Need product quantity in the search list!
Yeptt
Would be a lot nicer if we had the available product quantity when manually searching for a sku (on the same line as the image and sku). So if we are looking in a list of variant, it would show directly all the quantities for each one instead of having to open them one after the other (especially problematic as the researched sku ALWAYS disappears after opening a product info!!)
Developer Response
Hello - thank you for your review and great suggestion! A few months back, we made some changes to show inventory for variant products altogether. I hope this has helped speed things up for you. If you'd still prefer to have the inventory display during the search, please do let us know at scanner@vendhq.com
Impossible to add a new product

Super frustrating, especially that it works for guest users (via CSV)
