Lightspeed Integration - BRM to LS
Why would you want to do this?
- perhaps you want to run all your transactions (retail and rental) through one system, Lightspeed. In this way BRM manages your rentals. Lightspeed process the payments.
- however you don't necessarily want to START in Lightspeed. Perhaps because you only take money on check-out, or on check-in. Or perhaps because you have an un-expected charge to add at some later stage of a rental, like a late payment.
How does it work?
When you want to transfer a rental into LS you do the following.
when you come to do a payment, either an ad-hoc payment or due to a stage transition, you simply choose Lightspeed as your method of payment. (Please note you can customise your payment methods to only show the ones you care about)
(video demo here)
This will then transfer your payment into Lightspeed so the payment can be completed there. They will appear in the quotes section of your Lightspeed, so you can then take it to your register:
Attention!
Please make sure you SORT BY Quote # in lightspeed to make sure your inbound quotes appear at the top of the list each time
