Why ex-Quickbooks retailers are falling in love with Lightspeed

Go online with built-in ecommerce

Quickbooks doesn't have eCom solutions. With our POS and eCom built to work in harmony, you can run your entire business—online and in-store—from a single system.

Get the support you need, whenever you need it.

You shouldn't have to pay for support. With Lightspeed, you get free 24/7 phone, email and chat support built-in.

Sell anytime from anywhere

With Lightspeed, you can access your store, sales and customer data from anywhere on a Mac, PC or iPad.

We help you get to know your customers

Quickbooks only provides half the equation. Lightspeed tracks in-store and online customer activity and information from a centralized interface.

Built-in loyalty

Offer discounts and promotions, reward customers for their loyalty at every purchase and drive repeat business with our built-in loyalty program.

Scale faster and sell more with Lightspeed

Growth with Quickbooks is limited. Lightspeed lets you easily add locations, transfer inventory across multiple stores and centralize purchasing.

Watch a demo

It’s zippy fast. So our old processor would spit out a ticket and then our cash register would spit out a ticket and then we would staple those together for the customer. It sounds so laborious right? Lightspeed just takes that step away.
