Only US merchants using a free Lightspeed Retail account on an iPad or Android tablet will see the upgrade button in the Retail POS (S-Series) app.
Other merchants must visit BackOffice to upgrade or manage their plan.
When purchased, in-app subscriptions are billed immediately to the payment method used for your Apple or Google account. Future billings occur monthly and do not require a credit card on file in BackOffice.
Each Apple or Google account can purchase an in-app subscription for one Lightspeed Retail account.
To purchase in-app subscriptions for multiple Lightspeed Retail accounts, create a separate Apple or Google account for each Lightspeed Retail store.
