Features

Refunds

There are 2 ways to process a refund. Please check your auto-refund settings (as described in the Set-up chapter under Additional app settings).

📘

Bear in mind that with OmniChannel, refunds can not be made from within Lightspeed.

1. Refund via credit invoice

1. Go to Orders and select the order you would like to refund by clicking the order ID
2. Click on Add a credit invoice
3. Select the amount you would like to refund, ensure the Status is Not Paid
4. Click Add
   In the order notes, you will see the message "Auto-refund success". It will be delayed for 5 minutes in case you need to make any changes.

2. Refund via product return

1. Go to Orders and select the order you would like to refund by clicking the order ID
2. Click on Create Return
3. Select the products you would like to return, ensure the Status is Return Authorized
4. Click Add

🚧

The refund will be cancelled, if the status of the invoice or return is changed

Capture (BNPL)

When you offer Buy Now Pay Later payment methods in your checkout, the idea is to invoice your customers after they have received their products or services.

Example:

customer places order > transaction status is AUTHORIZED > webshop ships the product(s) > CAPTURE is created

In this app, it is possible to automate this flow.

Under Apps > Purchased Apps > select Pay > Go to App you will find the Auto-capture settings.

Enable this setting to automatically capture authorised payments (generally Buy Now Pay Later orders) when a shipment is created.

Paylink

It is possible to add a payment link to an email template, for example a payment reminder. A paylink can be added to each template with the ordernumberid available. Below we will show you how.

1. Go to Settings > Notification Emails > Order payment notification
2. Enter the relevant text. For the paylink, use the following format for the URL
   https://www.example.com/payment/pay/[[ordernumberid]]. Replace https://www.example.com with your own URL
3. To send a payment reminder, go to Orders > select an Order > More > Send Payment Reminder

Instore

It is possible to connect a card terminal to the Lightspeed POS for transaction processing only. See this Lightspeed page for instructions. The instore transactions will be started from the POS, not the Pay. API. These transactions will be visible in Reports / Management and Reports / Paid transactions when we have received the monies.
Transactions can be paid out the day after, depending on your pay out (clearing) frequency.

Business Orders

Certain payment methods, like Biller, can only be used with B2B orders. We recommend enabling the following settings if you are processing B2B orders:

1. Go to Apps > Purchased Apps > click on Pay. > Go To App
2. Set Auto-capture to Yes
3. Go to your B2B payment method and set Customer Type to Business
4. Go back to Checkout > Configuration > Additional customer fields > Edit
5. Configure these settings. For B2B orders a Company name or COC numberis generally Required.
