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 services and repairs and more with easily-managed systems.
All the support, all the time
You shouldn't have to pay for support. With Lightspeed, you get free 24/7 phone, email and chat support built-in.
In-depth reporting
Pull detailed reports on profit, sales, customers, employees and anything else your POS touches. Clover can't tell you that much.
“Alyssia and Jannette, Owners, Blazers and BottomsWith our previous POS, it was just like a hamster wheel, just trying to get questions answered. We had simple questions like how do we delete this inventory or add this? We hardly ever got answers. It was a lot of trial and error on our part. Working with the Lightspeed team has been a lot more enjoyable. Just that has made the experience a lot better.

“David Pearse, Owner, Shepherd and DogI 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.
