When a customer completes a purchase in your store, the order is recorded in Lightspeed Retail POS. - Receipt Sent to Octopus Bridge
The transaction data is securely transmitted to Octopus Bridge, which processes the receipt for synchronization. - Required Customer Data Verified

This allows retailers to:
- Maintain a unified customer purchase record
- Improve order visibility across systems
- Support omnichannel retail operations
- Simplify order management
- Reduce manual data entry
By connecting in-store receipts with Shopify customer accounts, retailers can deliver a more connected and convenient shopping experience.
