Pagination Changes

So after years of little/no changes in the Retail API I received an e-mailed announcement. Apparently Lightspeed is updating their Retail API pagination so it's cursor-based. Much more efficient and comprehensive, in terms of the response sets. Anyone who relies upon paginated responses should check out the details --> https://developers.lightspeedhq.com/retail/introduction/pagination/ and https://developers.lightspeedhq.com/retail/introduction/changelog/#20220411 . Apparently we will have a year to update our code to account for this, which is good breathing room.

A good update that will help performance and data gaps for those large requests for sure!

Re: Iphone app for lightspeed retail

I hope y'all do realize that the R-Series appears to be a lame duck in a lot of regards. Likely due to Lightspeed acquiring other solutions and putting them under their umbrella.

Look at the last post on this thread --> https://community.lightspeedhq.com/en/discussion/2939/serial-numbers#Item_27. If that indeed is the case then this Community site is basically just for the airing of grievances, sharing workarounds, and spam posting. 😔

So the possibility to Lightspeed paying the App Store's associated fees and subscription cuts, along with the general lack of development for the R-Series would lead me think this won't happen.

Price rule

When looking at an item ie: inventory-items-Specific item

I wish there was a way to see if that item was a member of a price rule that is in effect.

Example the item in particular has accidentally been added to multiple price rules and the only way to find out if this is true of false, is to go through every price rule to see if the item has been added.

Whereas if there was a box/menu that indicated this item is a member of the following price rules, this would be incredibly useful to ensure discounts are being properly applied and not overruled.

Retail Self-Checkout - The Time Has Come

With the national labor shortages, many small businesses are struggling to stay optimally staffed. We're in that boat. We're at the point now where we need to be able to offer our customers at least one self-checkout kiosk. Lightspeed has some experience with this on the restaurant side of the business, and we desperately need this option on the retail side.

Any plans to explore this in the short term?

Change Template for Special Order Receipt

Under INVENTORY / SPECIAL ORDERS

There is a print button that print's special orders info when item arrives so we can stick it to the product and put on our special orders shelf.

This is what it prints, it looks freaking horrid and it's missing a lot of information. Talking to LS support they told me there isn't an option to customise this template and that I could put forward a suggestion/ feedback for their developers to consider.

This is pretty much like saying Yeah Nah... go tell that to someone who doesn't care about what you are saying... seems to be the standard replay from their useless support team.

If you are hitting the Sale endpoint as I mentioned, then there are additional relations you can include in the API response. Including the Sale note and SaleLines note. As was mentioned in the Retail API documentation link that I provided. These relations include:

SaleLines

SaleLines.TaxClass
SaleLines.Note
SaleLines.Item

SalePayments.CCCharge
SalePayments.SaleAccounts
SalePayments.Signatures

ShipTo.Contact
Customer
Customer.Contact
Discount
TaxCategory
TaxCategory.TaxCategoryClasses

Re: Maybe Some Products/Categories "In Store Pickup Only"

Hi,

This can be accomplished at a product level (not categories) by assigning the non-shippable items a product weight that is higher than that of your maximum shippable weight, yet lower than your Local Pickup only's maximum weight tier.

Example:

If your shipping method's maximum shipping weight is 100lbs, set the product's weight to 101lbs+.

Going forward, that product will not get shipping options and as long as your store pickup's weight range is between 0lbs (min) - 100lbs+ (max), this product will only get the store pickup options.

If you're using a shipping integration such as EasyPost or Shipstation, set your product's weight to 200lbs to override those shipping options.

Adding product weights and dimensions:
