LINGA — Feature Request Forum

Save custom report columns
We have a merchant that recently switched to using the new backoffice UI. They are requesting the ability to save the custom column selections when they pull a report instead of it reverting back to default each time. They said the old UI did save their custom selections.

Partial Payment
When a customer presents a Visa card and the available balance is less than the purchase total, the card issuer may return a unique response code along with a partial amount approved. Currently on the POS, Linga lacks a clear notification for the merchant.
We would like to see a prompt or notification on the POS screen when a partial authorization is received. The notification should:
Clearly alert the merchant that only a partial amount was approved.
Display the approved amount and remaining balance.
Offer the merchant the option to either accept the partial payment and request an additional form of payment (split-tender), or decline the transaction altogether, based on the return code.

Feature Request: Add True Debit Transaction Support
Currently, Linga POS allows merchants to configure a Debit payment type; however, selecting this payment type does not result in a true debit transaction being initiated on the payment device. Instead, selecting Debit simply adjusts surcharge calculations but still sends the transaction to the device and processor as a standard credit transaction.
The key issue is that Linga POS does not currently send any instruction or indicator to the integrated payment device to initiate debit transaction logic. As a result, while the cardholder may be prompted to enter a PIN, the transaction is still processed as credit at the device and processor level.
Business Need:
For solutions like ours, the ability for the POS to correctly initiate debit vs credit at the device level is essential. Most payment devices expect a specific transaction type to be initiated to handle debit properly:
-
Initiating debit triggers the device to handle routing, PIN entry, network logic, and correct processing with the processor.
-
Initiating credit bypasses debit networks entirely, even if a PIN is entered.
Without Linga sending the correct transaction type to the payment device, debit-capable cards are always routed as credit, resulting in:
-
Incorrect interchange qualification.
-
Missed cost savings for merchants who intend to process true PIN-debit.
-
Inability to comply with some processor requirements or merchant agreements.
-
Confusion at the merchant level when "Debit" is selected but does not function as expected.
Requested Enhancement:
We are requesting that Linga POS implement proper debit support by:
-
Allowing the POS system to distinguish between credit and debit when communicating with the integrated payment device.
-
Sending the appropriate transaction type instruction to the device when the Debit tender type is selected in Linga.
-
Ensuring that when Debit is selected:
-
The device initiates a debit transaction flow.
-
The device controls PIN entry, routing, and processing in accordance with the card brand and processor requirements.
-
-
Maintaining the existing surcharge logic as applicable.
Why This is Critical:
-
The current behavior prevents merchants from leveraging true PIN debit.
-
Payment processors and devices rely on POS software to properly identify the intended transaction type.
-
Proper debit support is already expected and standard across many other POS platforms.
-
Linga already handles EBT properly, which shows device-level transaction type control is possible.

Online Ordering -Convenience Fee for Pick Up Orders ONLY
Sam's Subs and Pizza requested the following feature to be implemented to Linga POS:
- To be able to apply Convenience Fee for Pick Up Orders ONLY

Payment summary of sales recap to include surcharge value
Currently in the sale recap report, the payment summary values are shown without Surcharge and In Gross receipt the Surcharge was included and due to this the Gross receipt and Payment summary are different.

Printer Offline Message
When network can't be found, printer not found message takes around 60 seconds or more to pop up. Due to this lag, there is no indication if the order was sent to the kitchen or not. There is also no way to retrieve order to resend. It would be helpful to receive an immediate alert that an order didn't send.

Cash Option
Cash payment option closing out a check the same way as credit card payment option. Removing the Submit button to close check when using cash.

Role Restriction for Sales Total on Batch/Tip Screen
On behalf of Clovis from Mr. Hookah - Please add a role restriction to be able to hide the sales total that displays on the Batch/Tip Adjustment screen on the POS. He does not want employees to see how much the store has made.
