Setting up Fast Payment on the POS

The Fast Payment button on the POS allows you to link your preferred or most frequently used customer payment method for quick, one-tap transactions. 

Fast Payment is optimized for quick transactions using Lightspeed Payments and cash. Manually created payment types, such as Manual EFTPOS and third-party API payments, are currently not supported.
