Short verdict

Good fit for

Restaurants and cafés that want POS, kitchen display and table payments from one vendor.

Less suited to

Key facts

  • Basic from €89/month with annual billing
  • Lightspeed Payments accepts iDEAL, Bancontact and Payconiq
  • Data processing agreement online; transfer to Canada is covered in it
