QuickBooks Integration
Export invoices, payments and bills from LightSpeed right into QuickBooks® Accounting 2009 for Mac, without having to manage export files or worry about duplicate imports. This integration represents one of the simplest POS and accounting system integrations available on the Mac. Your bookkeeper won't know what to do with the extra time!
Once you have imported your QuickBooks chart of accounts into LightSpeed and set up linking with your products, you are ready to start using LightSpeed's new export to QuickBooks.
One click in LightSpeed prepares the export and one click in QuickBooks imports the data - it's that easy! A full export history and archive are automatically backed up in the background.
Tills

Manage cash drawers easily with the new Tills feature in LightSpeed 2.7. Save payment totals at the end of the day or at the end of a user's shift. Enter coin and bill denominations and reconcile sales stations separately, or as a batch.
Quantity Discounts
Increase sales volume with pre-set Quantity Discounts that encourage larger purchases. Set up to 66 different prices per product, based on the quantities and pricing levels you choose.
Absolute Pricing Control
Quantity Discounts allows you to use up to six discount levels alongside up to ten pricing levels to create a discount matrix for any single product.
Image Import
LightSpeed 2.7 now adds Image Import, a feature which can save you hours of work, makes it easy for you to add images to each of your products, customers and suppliers. Now you can more easily browse your database visually, and harness the power of LightSpeed's interface on a whole new level.
