From Lightspeed to scango.ch
You work with Lightspeed Retail and want to sell staffed and self-service? Export your items as CSV, and we import them for you at the start.
How your data gets from Lightspeed to scango.ch
1 Export your items
In Lightspeed Retail (R-Series), open “Item Search” under “Inventory” and click “Export”. You get a CSV file.
2 Send or upload the file
At the start we import your product data once for you and check it for plausibility. Or you upload the file yourself in the dashboard under Products → Import.
3 Review and confirm
Columns such as barcode, price or category are mapped automatically. You see every row before anything is saved.
4 Plug in the checkout
Your checkout arrives preconfigured. Range, prices and stock are already in it.
What comes along
- Description and barcode
- Price and cost
- Taxes
- Vendor and category
- Quantity on hand
What to keep in mind
- According to Lightspeed, fields such as brand, tags or reorder points are not always in the export. You set reorder points in the stock afterwards.
- Customers, gift cards and reports are exported separately in Lightspeed. Download them before you cancel.
What about vouchers, customer cards and discount codes?
Before you switch, get a list of your open vouchers and discount campaigns from Lightspeed.
Vouchers
Send us the list of your open vouchers with code and remaining balance, and we enter them for you at the start. The codes stay the same, so your customers’ vouchers stay valid.
Discount codes
You choose the code freely, so your existing codes stay the same. Percent or fixed amount, limited to products, categories, suppliers or stores.
Customer cards
scango.ch does not run points or stamp cards. A fixed discount for regulars or staff works with a discount code. It’s best to pay out open points as a voucher before you switch.
More than a till
Staffed and self-service
Counter with cash drawer, end-of-day closing and sales per cashier, plus the self-checkout, with one range and one stock.
Stock and suppliers
Stock levels, supplier orders and supplier statements in the cloud dashboard.
Card and TWINT
Payment through Freika, set up in one step with the checkout.
What you want to know about switching
What do I do with open Lightspeed gift cards?
Export the gift cards in Lightspeed and create the open balances in scango.ch as new gift cards, one by one or many at once.
How much does switching cost?
Importing your product data once at the start is included. You pay for the checkout and the subscription as shown in the cost estimate.
What happens to my past sales?
Your sales history stays in your current system. Download the reports for your accounting before you cancel the old subscription.
Can I run both systems side by side for a while?
Yes. You can set up and test scango.ch while your old till is still running, and switch over afterwards.
