    About Lightspeed

    Lightspeed is a point of sale and commerce platform for selling in person and online. It has separate products for retail, restaurants and golf.

    Retail POS covers payments, ecommerce, inventory, loyalty and analytics. Restaurant POS adds online ordering, tableside ordering, a kitchen display and reservations. The golf product includes a tee sheet, golf POS, a website and reporting.

    Each product has its own pricing page, and you can watch a demo, request a quote or start a free trial.

    Pricing: Lightspeed is a monthly subscription, with separate plans for retail and for restaurants and hospitality, billed in Australian dollars on the Australian site. Retail plans can be billed annually or monthly, and extra locations and registers cost more. Hardware is sold separately, and there is a free trial.

    Why it suits tourism businesses

    Inventory and analytics show what sells, and online ordering and ecommerce extend sales beyond the venue.

    Frequently asked questions

    About Lightspeed

    How can a tour operator use Lightspeed?
    Lightspeed suits venues with a counter or dining area, such as a gift shop, cafe, cellar door or golf course. Tour booking is not its focus, so check the products against your needs.
    What payment methods does Lightspeed support?
    Lightspeed Payments is its built-in payments product for retail and restaurants, with integrated card payments inside the POS. Hardware is sold separately and existing terminals cannot be reused, so ask Lightspeed about rates and setup in Australia.
    Can Lightspeed help with reporting and inventory decisions?
    Yes. Retail POS includes inventory management and analytics, and Restaurant POS includes inventory and benchmarks.
    What does Lightspeed integrate with?
    Lightspeed lists integrations and an API for its retail and golf products, and accounting for restaurants. Check their site for the apps you use.
