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 21.5.
The Commerce Suite includes:
- Commerce Service – version 2023.4
- Mobile POS (Android) – version 2023.4
- Mobile Inventory (Android) – version 2023.4
- ScanPayGo (Android & iOS) - version 2023.4
Note: The name of LS Commerce Service has changed to Commerce Service for LS Central and this is reflected when installing the service in the name of the service, URL, database and other related areas where LS Commerce was used before. It is recommended to uninstall previous installation, clear out IIS entries and delete SQL Database and install fresh new install. You can keep the appconfig files and Web.config files if they have been modified from standard installation and replace them after install.
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 (21.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 (2018 11.xx) and LS Central (13.xx, 14.xx, 17.x, 18.x, 19.x, 20.x, 21.x).
The apps are only tested against LS Central (21.xx).
