Canada's Lightspeed launches e-commerce solution for retail customers

06 Nov 21 2 min read

Lightspeed, a one-stop commerce platform, has announced the launch of a new flagship e-commerce product built on the integration of its acquisition of Ecwid, a leading, global e-commerce platform. This launch is an important step in providing retailers a powerful, flexible, and unified offering for their e-commerce and omni-channel solutions.

Lightspeed e-commerce offers a new starting point for merchants to join the Lightspeed ecosystem and grow their businesses with the help of sophisticated in-store and online commerce tools, advanced data, simple product ordering functionality and streamlined access to suppliers, Lightspeed said in a press release.

"Commerce has evolved beyond a basic online store or a single-function POS. True modern commerce is meeting your buyers where they are, whether that's on TikTok or Main Street," said Dax Dasilva, founder and CEO, Lightspeed. "Lightspeed e-commerce represents the omni-channel vision that we have believed in for years: that retail merchants need to be able to scale and customize tools to fit their unique business without compromise, whether they operate primarily online, in-store, or both. We're proud of the rapid progress we've made on this integration to further improve our offering for our customers."

Connecting the online and in-store platforms, Lightspeed retail merchants will be able to reduce the time spent on managing inventory, orders, and product details. Elevate the shopping experience with a suite of customer management features that are proven to boost sales (like abandoned cart recovery) and customer communication tools. It is now available to all of Lightspeed's retail merchants around the world including customers that recently joined through the ShopKeep and Vend acquisitions.
