Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A charge appearing on your bank or credit card statement under descriptors such as LIGHTSPEED* POS COMM, LIGHTSPEED HQ, or LSP* [MERCHANT] indicates a transaction processed by Lightspeed Commerce Inc. Lightspeed is a publicly traded cloud commerce platform supplying point of sale hardware, inventory management software, and integrated payment processing to retail shops, golf operators, and hospitality businesses. Retailers and restaurant owners rely on these monthly subscription services to run their cash registers, track inventory levels, and manage daily sales operations across multiple physical locations.
Unreviewed registry note: These recurring charges typically materialize on your financial statements due to active monthly or annual software subscription renewals, hardware lease agreements, or customer point of sale transactions processed through the Lightspeed merchant network. If you operate a retail storefront or dining establishment using Lightspeed registers, your business bank account will be automatically debited according to the billing cycle outlined in your master services agreement. Unexpected charges frequently occur when free software trials convert into paid subscriptions, additional register terminals are added to your account, or business partners renew annual service contracts without prior notice.
Common reasons for this charge
Unreviewed registry note: Review these common subscription events to determine why the charge posted to your account.
- Unreviewed registry note: A monthly SaaS subscription for Lightspeed Retail or Lightspeed Restaurant POS software.
- Unreviewed registry note: A retail store or boutique purchase processed via Lightspeed Payments.
- Unreviewed registry note: An annual POS hardware or terminal maintenance contract renewal.
