Why ex-Clover retailers are falling in love with Lightspeed
Built-in inventory control
Unlike Clover, Lightspeed offers a complete inventory system integrated into the POS. Sell serialized items, create bundles and organize products with many variations.
Process special orders / layaways for free
With Clover, you can't offer this to your customers. Lightspeed lets you order products that aren't in stock and put them on hold, all for free.
Integrated omnichannel systems
Our system enables you to run your retail and online store from the same user-friendly interface (the way it should be). That means less work for you.
Customer-centric tools
Order special items for your customers and put them on hold, all for free. Offer recurring subscriptions to products, services and repairs, and more with easily-managed systems from Lightspeed.
Free onboarding and 24/7 support
We're always there for you. All of our customers get free personalized training and 24/7 phone, email and chat support.
In-depth reporting
Pull detailed reports on profit, sales, customers, employees and anything else your POS touches. Clover can't tell you that much.

Get going with Lightspeed faster.
Migrating from Clover to Lightspeed Retail? No problem. Transfer your data using Doosync by Enkidoo so you can pick your business up where you left off. No compromising your data—just business continuity with your brand new Lightspeed POS system.
“The beauty of Lightspeed is that when it sells in store, it’s taken off the website—which was a big issue before. Now customers see it online, and they know what we have before we do.”

“I can look at the pub or at home to see what’s not selling quickly and what’s selling really quickly; it really helps me with my ordering.“
