What kind of business would be a fit for Lightspeed?

Lightspeed fuels the independents! Small to medium sized businesses in hospitality, retail and golf who are looking to scale, simplify and service with ease are ideal referrals.

Do I have to be a Lightspeed customer to refer and get paid?

You can refer a retail or restaurant business if you're a Lightspeed customer or Lightspeed employee.

For each approved candidate you refer that becomes a Lightspeed customer, you will earn a $1,000 reward. There is no limit to what you can earn. The more qualifying candidates you refer to Lightspeed, the more you are rewarded. Each reward will be issued three months after the new customer signs up to ensure they are in good standing.

How do I claim a reward?

For customers: after you submit a referral, we will look into it to determine if they are a match with Lightspeed. You will receive an email letting you know if your referral is approved or not. If it is approved, and your referral has signed up to be a new customer with Lightspeed, you'll receive another email from Tango three months after the sign-up date with your $1,000 prepaid Visa gift card. Timelines may vary between the approval response and the reward from Tango. We recommend keeping an eye out! For employees: the submission and approval process is the same as above. However, $1,000 payouts are added to your regular paychecks via payroll.

How do I know when my reward is on the way?

After your referral is submitted, we will reach back out to let you know if it is approved. Please be patient, as this can take a few weeks.* If your candidate qualifies, you will be informed by email. For customers, the approval email is confirmation that your reward is on route! Look out for a separate email, from Tango, with your prepaid Visa gift card. Employees, you'll see your $1,000 reward added to your regular paychecks. Please note that rewards are issued three months after a new customer signs up.
