Hi. How can we help?

Connecting eCom (E-Series) to Retail POS (R-Series)

You can sell your Retail POS products online with Lightspeed eCom (E-Series), a feature-rich ecommerce platform tailored to your product catalog, customers, and settings. By connecting your catalog, you can expand your online presence using a free website builder with a built-in online store.

To sign up for eCom (E-Series), contact your account manager. This feature is currently only available to North American merchants.

Linking eCom (E-Series) with Retail POS (R-Series)

Once your account manager has added eCom (E-Series) to your account, you’ll need to complete your registration in Retail POS. This ensures that Lightspeed associates your eCom (E-Series) account with the correct Retail POS location and business information.

To set up a new eCom (E-Series) store and connect it to Retail POS:

  1. Sign in to Retail POS. Click the Retail (R-Series) drop-down and select eCom (E-Series).
