On the other hand, for external platforms, you’ll require a separate connector to integrate your eCommerce store with Lightspeed, which comes at an additional cost.Īdditionally, this puts you at the mercy of third-party integrations. When it comes to omnichannel sales, if you want Lightspeed’s own native eCommerce integration, you’ll need to pay for the standard plan or higher, which is priced at $119 per month. To access more advanced features like advanced reporting, you have to pay for the more expensive plans. When you sign up for the retail POS system, the cheapest pricing plan starts at $69 per month. Lightspeed’s wide feature set doesn’t come cheap. Here are the disadvantages of using this POS system: Cost However, Lightspeed comes with some downsides that mean it is not the perfect solution for every business.

Interestingly, Lightspeed eventually purchased NuORDER which was quite a trip! I’ve worked so closely with both platforms but in completely separate contexts (Lightspeed being direct-to-consumer and NuORDER being wholesale) and I’m interested to see how they bring the two platforms together in the future.Lightspeed POS is a web-based POS system that is commonly used in restaurants and retail stores. Reporting on all sorts of measures related to sales and conversion.Inventory data so that stores could order from a central warehouse from within Lightspeed.Sales transaction data which needed to land in our ERP system as soon as possible.Product information and pricing - this involved setting up product in a flat structure but support our matrix of product sizes.The types of information I dealt with in the context of Lightspeed included: In addition, I supported all users at HQ and in-store.
Within Lightspeed, I helped design and manage the database of products and inventory to ensure it integrated with the ERP system. I handled the procurement and management of all technology in our stores such as POS hardware, network equipment, internet services, payment processing, traffic counters and audio-video (video walls). One unique aspect about these store projects was that I didn’t just deal with Lightspeed. As the primary resource from IT on the project, I set up the entire platform for the company’s first five stores.
Lightspeed Retail is a SAAS based point of sale platform that is great for small to medium sized outfits. Ihad the pleasure of working with Lightspeed Retail POS during my time at Herschel.
