What is Lightspeed?
Lightspeed is a platform for point-of-sale (POS) systems and webshops, aimed at retail and hospitality. Business owners use it to manage in-store and online sales in one place, with inventory, payments and reporting.
What does Lightspeed do?
Lightspeed combines a POS system with e-commerce, so physical shops and hospitality businesses can also sell online. It handles inventory, payments and customer data. It is strong for businesses with a shop and webshop, but as an all-in-one platform you are tied to its options.
What does Lightspeed cost per month?
Lightspeed works with monthly plans that differ per package and per module, such as POS, e-commerce and payments. The price depends on your number of locations and features. Reckon on fixed monthly costs that rise as you add more modules.
Lightspeed or your own webshop?
Lightspeed is handy if you want to link your shop and webshop. If you mainly want to grow online with maximum control over SEO and marketing, having a webshop built in WooCommerce is often stronger, combined with outsourcing your online marketing.
