Configuring your Lightspeed K-Series
Learn how to configure POS Configurations and Order Profiles in Lightspeed to ensure orders sync correctly with Slerp.
POS Configuration
What is a POS configuration?
A POS configuration is a group of settings managed in the Lightspeed Back Office and applied to your POS devices.
These configurations control how the Lightspeed Restaurant app behaves, allowing you to customise settings, workflows, and operational rules for your business.
Correct configuration ensures your menu and order flow work properly when integrated with Slerp.
How do I configure a POS configuration?
You can find POS configurations in Lightspeed under: POS > Configurations.
Each POS configuration is linked to a specific menu.
Once you have completed your POS configuration, make sure it is associated with any menu that you push to Slerp.
Recommended settings
-
Zero-priced items
Set to Enabled.
This ensures that item groups or combos without a price are still visible on receipts, helping group products correctly and improving receipt clarity.
Order profiles
What is an Order Profile?
Order Profiles are customisable, preset configurations applied to POS orders in Lightspeed.
They help automate workflows by:
-
Setting the service type, such as takeaway or delivery
-
Linking specific price lists
-
Controlling order behaviour and completion rules
Order Profiles allow businesses to manage different service types efficiently, including online orders from Slerp.
How do I configure an Order Profile?

How you configure an Order Profile depends on the takeaway mode. Below are our recommended settings based on the Slerp fulfilment type.
