What are embedded vs. non-embedded payments?
Lightspeed Payments is an embedded payment processor, meaning it communicates with Lightspeed POS to process payments. Transactions are automatically recorded in your POS system, saving time and reducing errors because it eliminates the need for manual entry. Embedded payments make for a better checkout experience for both your employees and customers. Plus, you have access to plenty of valuable info including batch settlements, reports and customer data.
With non-embedded payments, processors don't communicate with the POS system. Transaction data isn't recorded—you have to manually input information, making the checkout process more complex.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, Lightspeed’s customers processed $87.1 billion in GTV through Lightspeed’s platform. "Gross Transaction Volume" or "GTV" means the total dollar value of transactions processed through Lightspeed’s cloud-based software-as-a-service platform, excluding amounts processed through the NuORDER solution, in the period, net of refunds, inclusive of shipping and handling, duty and value-added taxes. GTV does not represent revenue earned by Lightspeed. GTV excludes amounts processed through the NuORDER solution because they represent business-to-business volume rather than business-to-consumer volume and Lightspeed does not currently have a robust payments solution for business-to-business volume. *See the section entitled “Key Performance Indicators” in Lightspeed’s most recent MD&A available on our investor relations website and at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov for more details.
