Frequently asked questions
Why do business owners choose an alternative to Lightspeed?
Usually because of cost: separate licences per till, per handheld and per module add up quickly. SmartPOSapp works with one monthly subscription that already includes handhelds, table management and reporting.
Can I keep using my existing hardware?
Yes, by arrangement. We deliver a complete, pre-installed POS system with our own Android handhelds that we set up and connect. Receipt printers on the same network are found automatically.
What about switching over and my product list?
You create categories, subcategories and products yourself with draggable tiles and your own colours. During a demo we set everything up together before you switch.
Are reservations and QR ordering included?
They're available as an option within the subscriptions. The pricing page shows exactly which modules come with which subscription and what the limits are.
