What an amazing POS!! It takes some time setting up, but once you do, it really can save your business! Customer service is very helpful when it comes to teaching you and your team the system. Lightspeed helps you cut purchase ordering time in half with automatic reordering. Inventory counts and reconciliation helps you manage your inventory appropriately and effectively. The more you invest your time into setting up the system, the more it gives back to you. Would and do recommend to any business 100%

This retail system does it all! It has been a wonderful experience from the start. The inventory tracking, the invoicing, Quickbooks integration, time clock, rewards program, and the list goes on of all the awesome features! The customer service is top notch, they are always able to help if you have a question or an issue to resolve (which there are not a lot of issues!!). Highly recommend this!

Donna A Road Town,

I worked with other POS systems in the past and find Lightspeed much more user friendly than the others. You can build your menu in literally a few hours and the flexibility is amazing! I have not come across a single scenario in the build that isn't already addressed within the system. And the video tutorials are well done, explaining processes step by step, The technical support team are quick to respond and follow through issues to resolution. I recommended Lightspeed to two colleagues already and will continue to share my positive experiences with others.

Lightspeed was so easy to implement and train our employees. So much of the software is very intuitive. The customer service and onboarding was excellent. We felt very supported. The big take away is the integration between Lightspeed POS, Lightspeed Payments and eCommerce. The analytic tools are so much more than what we had before. Honestly, it's hard to come up with anything negative to say. It does seem a bit pricey and while I appreciate discounts and deals like the next person, I don't appreciate having to make a decision to buy based on a specific deadline in order to get the better price. Overall Lightspeed POS has improved our workflow and efficiency. We seem to stumble on new cool tools frequently. We are very happy with the product.

Lightspeed is very user friendly, Training is made very simple. The reports are easy to run from anywhere. The customer service has been great and Lightspeed is always working on making new improvements. I also use Lightspeed ecomm which has been a lifesaver during covid. My overall experience with lightspeed has been great. I love that as my business expands Lightspeed has made it seamless. Everyone at Lightspeed has been wonderful in helping me with all and any questions that my team or myself might have.

Lightspeed has made my life as a small business owner in the food business much easier. Their reporting is solid, their interface is very intuitive and I can update menu items within seconds. I had shopped around around systems, downloaded their demos and nothing compares to Lightspeed. And as a bonus this is a Montreal based company with EXCELLENT customer service. I will be a loyal client for life!

When I purchased an existing business, I had a list of priorities and Lightspeed checked them all off, from inventory management to eCom. From the ease of use and intuitive toolbars to the basic functionality. The added apps that work with Lightspeed, such as Homebase, just were icing on the cake for me. I have over 35 years in retail with fortune 50 companies and this POS for a single store, is equal or better! I have no problem recommending Lightspeed and am open to answering any specific questions anyone may have regarding the use of this product.

I chose Lightspeed Retail POS software because apart from system to process my sales I needed an easy and quick way to review my stock levels as well as assess my sales from month to month. Lightspeed did not disappoint. I am able to easily generate reports and I’ve also been able to do away with the cost of engaging an employee to do this. The software is also very accessible for someone who is not familiar with POS plus there are ready videos to help whenever I need do something new that I hadn’t done yet.

My bike shop has been using Lightspeed for over seven years and it's our daily driver. This professional and efficient program builds in organization and data in functional, intuitive use. There's not many drawbacks as the general job it does is polished, though customizing some tools would be great to maximize my shop's needs. Reps are always excellent to work with, knowledgeable and helpful. The value is decent and the program is trustworthy.

Griffin Jewelry migrated to Lightspeed POS system in October 2019. Lightspeed has transformed the way we do business and serve our customers. We can readily track inventory, sales, and work orders. The onboard training was a smooth transition for all employees. Lightspeed provided us with quality training to implement the new system and is always available with the online chat. We love the interface and were able to customize it to our needs. We would highly Lightspeed if you are looking for a quality, dependable, & affordable point of sale system.

I am still in the onboarding phase of using Lightspeed Retail. Their onboarding staff is helpful, organized, and sensible. I have spent a long time researching 12 different platforms before deciding with multichannel platform to move my electronics business to. There are no perfect solutions, but Lightspeed has shown a willingness to carry me along at my speed, not theirs. I was a user of Lightspeed OnSite for, I think, 12 years before this. Back then I took a chance on a little known company with questionable financing for my most critical business system. Not only did they survive and grow, but they learned and are still learning today. And they are a much more credible competitor in a dynamic business segment. I highly recommend them.

Lightspeed truly understands the realities of a small business. We’ve been with them since there very first version ''onsite'' and now moved over to 'retail cloud-based' and it’s a great solution for us. It's a flexible platform that allows you to all so integrate to 3rd party apps. They are very close to there clients and move quickly on new trending tecnologies.

I run two children's toy stores and we have used Lightspeed for 7 years! It has made a tremendous difference in our ability to transfer merchandise between the two stores, compare inventory and sales levels, and order product at shows with the cloud based POS! Their tech support is AMAZING and if they can't figure something out right away they are very quick to respond when they do figure it out (I've only had to wait 24hrs max).

Lightspeed has been in my cigar lounge for about 3 years now. Having the ability to look at real-time from home is great. The interface is a big complicated to set up, but if you battle thru it, the service is really really good. The customer service is very helpful and knowledgable. I re-upped my service and that's the best vote of confidence I can give. Tony

I've worked with several POS systems over more than 15 years in retail and hospitality. Lightspeed is intuitive, easy to use and powerful enough to handle everything my business needs. The system was in place when we recently purchased a new location; Lauren and the support team have worked tirelessly to ensure a seamless transition. I have yet to run into an issue I can't figure out quickly, or get an answer to instantly. So far, I am incredibly pleased with both the product and the people behind the scenes.

We're using Lightspeed now at almost 10 of our locations. Service is always on point, our rep Andrew is always there to answer questions when needed. They even added some functionality features to the app specific for us, which is almost unheard of in the industry. We use their POS at full service restaurants and cafeterias, even a few beavertails locations. Definitely recommend. Josh, Food services manager, Bytown Catering

I like that i can use it on any computer/phone/tablet and not just ipad like other systems. this is great for us as we are tough on the equipment in this harsh saltwater environment in which we operate.

LightSpeed is the best thing that ever happened to our facility. It does most of the work for you example calculation of sales of each individual product also we use to have to run a month end reports on different sheets of paper, now we can go to category and print our month end report. If there's a problem with light speed it's fixed in a very timely manner. Love LightSpeed

I have been using Lightspeed at my retail brick and mortar business for two years. I have used other POS systems that caused me such problems. Lightspeed is different and the best out there for your money. It has incredible reporting capabilities which is such a time saver for me and my accounting team. Whenever I do have an issue, Lightspeed's 24 hour help line is always available to fix anything that might be going on. It is rare though . . . Usually it runs perfectly for months on end. During events and the holiday season when I am very busy, it has never failed me.

We've been using Lightspeed for just over a year at Club Social Le Scaphandre (Diving Bell) and it has been amazing. After using so many inefficient systems, Lightspeed has been the best for running the bar efficiently. The iPad is familiar, wireless, and the interface is super simple to use. Using their service has improved the operations for all aspects of the bar. Highly recommend!

We use the e-com from Lightspeed and our experience has been fantastic. We compared it with their competitor, and I found it much easier the set up. Adding a new product, making it visible or invisible, it's easy and quick. The system itself is made for beginners or pros. I find the cost reasonable, when you think that we can have our products around the planet.

Lightspeed is incredibly user-friendly. All our staff members were working it easily in no time. The support team responds quickly to any question we've had. The ability to customize parts of the intake screen for our particular retail business has been great--from entering inventory, tracking vendors, generating sales reports, being able to easily track our growth, to customizing the information we gather from our customers. Lightspeed has been a seamless partner from our opening with sales of 20K per month to five times that now.

As a very high volume piercing studio we need to have a reliable POS and Lightspeed has been fantastic since day one!

LightSpeed had been a breeze to work with. I had originally started with MerchantOS several years ago, which was then taken over by LightSpeed. The transition was easy & efficient, and the service has only improved with time. Customer service is available 24/7, and is absolutely top notch. I have recommended this LightSpeed to three other small retailers, who are all as pleased as I am.

Once we got over the initial hump of switching from our old POS system to Lightspeed it was wonderful! I would never go back. Having a cloud based point of sale system where everything is at my finger tips has been a game changer. I can access information and reports based on anything I could possibly need with their analytics tools. Making marketing decisions, buying decisions, mark downs etc is now much more informed instead of "flying by the seat of our pants."

There was a discrepancy between our budget and the recent renewal invoice. Our rep worked right with me and it was a flawless plan to rectify the difference.

We spent a lot of time researching to find the best POS system for our small retail apparel and manufacturing company. Lightspeed's features alone make them an ideal system, but their customer service really puts them over the top for us. In addition to always being there for a phone call or chat when we have questions, they have an exceptional database of knowledge for quick reference and to build employee manuals. From purchase orders, to vendor returns, easy exchanges and backorders, this system makes it easier to run your business well.

Pros: The user interface was my first draw to Lightspeed. Ease of use and mostly easy workflows pulled me in. We also like the numerous integratabtle add ons available. The multi-store feature works well. Cons: It did not believe in negative numbers but that is changing. We do not like that custom fields don't save the same way as other standard fields.

Lightspeed Retail is cloud based POS system that comes with a host of features for the modern retailer. Very suitable for small-to-medium businesses with single or multiple locations. Pricing is scalable depending on the size of the organization. We give them 5 stars even though there are a few flaws, but comparable systems seem to have more flaws, and Lightspeed has an active and responsive system for submitting feedback and a user forum for feature discussion, which I recommend investigating before purchase.
