KM Kaleigh M. General Manager Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/27/2021 "Top-Notch, Always Human Customer Care" 5/5 What do you like best about Lightspeed Retail? I love the level and amount of care that Lightspeed takes to ensure its retailers are successful with their setup and using their systems/hardware. Everything has been beyond amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lightspeed Retail? I have been using Lightspeed for several months, and I have yet to experience anything negative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lightspeed Retail solving and how is that benefiting you? I went from a physical pen/paper inventory to a real-time list that I can check from anywhere! Not having to count everything physically is something I only dreamed could happen one day! I can now make orders remotely, and it has taken a tremendous amount of time-load off of me as a sole business owner! I now have so much time to do other things! The POS system is a flashy new iPad system instead of our old, ancient hardware! It was a seamless transition that has made transactions easier for my customers and employees! Very little training was required, and I'm more than excited about our future! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloud based, nothing to maintain on-premise. Ease of use is great, interface is simply laid out and easy to train our retail staff. Customer support is responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lightspeed Retail? The downside to Lightspeed is that when an issue or outage occurs, there is no troubleshooting to do. We simply inform out retail locations, and wait for it to be restored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Lightspeed Retail: Utilize the support, they have both chat and phone options. When using barcode/label printers, use Zebra Browser Print. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lightspeed Retail solving and how is that benefiting you? Several benefits, a web based POS system can be used on a windows based PC and CC machine (Verifone MX915), no fancy equipment to purchase.

Marketing Consultant Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/2/2021 "Retail's ease and integration with eCom is hard to beat" 5/5 What do you like best about Lightspeed Retail? As a remote web designer, its great to work with the in-store staff to get them entering products and inventory while keeping an eye on their entries and building out the eCom website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lightspeed Retail? There's not much to dislike. Most features we have needed are there. But the in-store folks could better answer that questions since they use retail more than I. However, I train them in products and features and all their requests so far I have been able to work out and get them past easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lightspeed has the absolute best support of all POS, eCom, and omnichannel providers. They have truly 24/7 phone support in addition to chat support during regular hours. If any of their support agents don't know the answer to your question they admit that and ask the best way to get in touch with you once they've been able to find the answer (usually maybe an hour later), but usually they can help you out immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lightspeed Retail? Some of the features aren't perfect. The best example of this that has actually impacted me is the "Discount Rules" function in eCom. There is no way to make a deal valid to be used multiple times. For example, you have a buy 1, get 1 half off deal that you want to be able to be used for any quantity. There is currently no way for the customer to be able to add 6 of the applicable items to their order and get 3 of them half off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lightspeed Retail solving and how is that benefiting you? Lightspeed is incredible at inventory tracking, especially if you also get Lightspeed Analytics. It helps us to clearly see what hasn't been selling, and what we need to order more of. The omnichannel function is also an easy way for us to tie our website and retail locations together so there aren't inventory issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
