About Lightspeed eCom
Lightspeed eCom is the online store offering from Lightspeed, the Canadian point-of-sale company. It is designed for physical retailers such as bike shops, apparel boutiques and specialty stores that run Lightspeed Retail in store: products, inventory and customers sync between POS and the website, so stock levels stay accurate across channels. Plans bundle POS, ecommerce and payments, priced per location with extra registers and locations at additional cost. For shops already on Lightspeed, it avoids stitching together separate systems; for online-only sellers it makes little sense, since Shopify or BigCommerce offer more ecommerce depth and apps for less. Store design flexibility is modest. It runs in the browser with Lightspeed's POS apps on iPad.
Best for: Physical retailers on Lightspeed POS who want inventory synced to an online store.
