Commerce Suite 2022.8 Release Notes

About this release

The Commerce Suite is integrated with LS Central providing simplified apps and service with real-time connectivity through web services. This version was released with LS Central version 20.3.

The Commerce Suite includes:

  • Commerce Service – version 2022.8
  • Mobile POS (Android) – version 2022.8
  • Mobile Inventory (Android) – version 2022.8
  • ScanPayGo (Android & iOS) - version 2022.8

Note: All released clients connect by default to a central Commerce service that is hosted in the cloud. This server is connected to LS Central (20.xx), which is populated with demo data and acts as a source of data suitable for demonstrations and software evaluation.


To request a local installation of the Commerce Service for any of the solutions that you wish to privately host and connect to your LS Central solution, contact LS Retail through Partner Support on the LS Retail Portal (log in required).

Commerce Service is unit tested against LS Nav (2017 10.xx, 2018 11.xx) and LS Central (13.xx, 14.xx, 15.x, 16.x, 17.x, 18.x, 19.x, 20.x).
The apps are only tested against LS Central (20.xx).

To use Commerce Service against LS Nav 2015 (8.xx), use LS Omni version 2.3.3.
