1. Go to your Lightspeed account and to > Configuration > Settings > Payment methods
   
   
2. Click on "Add a payment method"
   
   
3. Select the payment method: "charge to room". In the name field, write "Amenitiz" and in the accounting reference field, you also need to write "Amenitiz". The code should remain "IKPMS".
   
   
4. Set the PMS server to "Other"
   Save and it's done!

Lightspeed and Amenitiz are now ready to be used together. The next time someone asks for a bill at your restaurant, instead of making them pay right away, just select "Amenitiz" and you will then be able to choose which guest and/or room you want to send the bill to.

Once your connection is made, when you will send your restaurant bill to Amenitiz, the charges will automatically display in the booking details, under the "Charges" tab. These charges will be automatically categorized "Lightspeed" so you can easily find them.

If you make a change on a charge on the Lightspeed side, it will not be updated on Amenitiz.
