You will have the following options:

Don’t print or prompt to print receipts - receipts will not print, but can always be reprinted
Print receipts automatically - after the order is paid, the receipt will print
Prompt to print or email receipts - after the order is paid, a notification will appear of whether to print or email the receipt

Download a receipt as PDF

 

You can also download a printable PDF of the receipt from the Back Office. This is great for those long ago orders and you’d rather search for your order from the comfort of your own computer or, if you need to email it to a customer.

 

1. From the Back Office, under Reports, select Sales Feed

2. Select the Sales filter to search by register, customer, site, and payment

Pro Tip - We’ve made it much easier to search for specific orders - dont scroll through months and months of individual orders - the data range maxes out at 30 days - any 30 days since the beginning of time itself.

3. Select Filter

4. Select the magnifying glass icon beside the receipt you want to print

5. Select Preview PDF to access the PDF

Pro Tip - You can email these invoices as a PDF direct to a customer easily from Lightspeed in the same page - just select Email Tax Invoice.

Frequently Asked Questions 

How do I send the receipts as an email?

Whether you’re going paperless or lessening paper printing by emailing receipts, we have just the thing. You can send your current or previous receipts as emails from the POS and from the Back Office.


What details show up on my receipt?

You would need to enter your business details on the Back Office. Once this is done, you can choose what details to include in your receipt (e.g. address, business number, phone, email, website).
