New Feature

Employee role permissions: Data protection has always been and continues to be paramount to us at Lightspeed. With this value in mind, we’ve now added the Customers – Export employee role permission. Without it enabled in their employee role, employees can no longer export customer data from the following areas of your Retail account:

  • The Customers section.
  • The Credit Accounts section.
  • The Gift Cards section.
  • The Customers section in the left menu when viewing items.
  • The Customer & Item report.

Improvements

Barcodes: We’ve made an update to the barcode generator in order for it to remain compatible with recent performance and security improvements. Barcodes will now look slightly different when printed from a web browser.

If you use a custom template for your labels, we recommend printing a label and testing your barcode scanner. If you experience any issues, back up your existing template and try updating it to our most recent version.
