You can create an order with a supplier inside the Supplier Market. You will still be billed by the supplier in the traditional way, outside of Lightspeed.
- In your Retail account, select Inventory.
- In ORDERS, TRANSFERS, AND SHIPPING, select Supplier Market.
- Select a supplier that you have already connected. If unsure, read Connecting to a supplier.
- On the product page, enter the quantity you want to order, then select Add to cart. Repeat for all products you want to order.
- Once satisfied with your order, select Cart in the top right-hand side of the page.
- Select Create order.
Next steps
- The supplier receives your order. While you wait for them to fulfil your order, you can review the order status.
- When the supplier completes the order, Lightspeed creates a purchase order in Inventory > Purchase Orders. You can then use a purchase order to receive the items.
