March is a sign that change is around the corner. Typically, this change manifests itself in the form of a warmer season we look forward called Spring. But in this case, change is present in your very own Lightspeed Retail POS, mainly in the form of newly designed receipt options and integrated payment processing with Vantiv for US merchants.
