Ordering from a supplier

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.

1. In your Retail account, select Inventory.
2. In ORDERS, TRANSFERS, AND SHIPPING, select Supplier Market.
3. Select a supplier that you have already connected. If unsure, read Connecting to a supplier.
4. On the product page, enter the quantity you want to order, then select Add to cart. Repeat for all products you want to order.
5. Once satisfied with your order, select Cart in the top right-hand side of the page.
6. Select Create order.

Next steps

1. The supplier receives your order. While you wait for them to fulfil your order, you can review the order status.
2. 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.
