💡 Important: this Help Center article is about Lightspeed L-series! Make sure you have the right version.


Are you using the Formitable Lightspeed POS integration? We tell you how to check-in your reservations to work more efficiently and get to know your loyal customers even better.

Choose one way to check-in your reservations - either in Formitable or otherwise in Lightspeed. Working half in Formitable and half in Lightspeed is asking for technical problems. Use one of the two - whatever works best for you and your staff.

📌 Do you need help setting up the Lightspeed integration? Find a detailed explanation how to do it here.

💡 Before a reservation is checked-in, you can freely move the reservation in Formitable. After a reservation is checked-in you can only move it to a different table in Lightspeed.

❗ If you check-in reservations in Lightspeed, pre-payments and gift vouchers will only appear as notes in the reservation but will not be deducted from the final bill. Technically this is unfortunately only possible if you check-in from Formitable.
