New product innovations across Lightspeed Retail and Lightspeed Restaurant include:

Retail

  • Lightspeed and Klaviyo launch integration to empower retailers with marketing automation

    By connecting Klaviyo to Lightspeed Retail, Lightspeed enables merchants to automate personalized customer communications without manual data work or fragmented tools. The integration syncs customer, sales, and product data in real time so merchants can easily launch lifecycle flows such as welcome, post-purchase, and re-engage campaigns, as well as targeted omnichannel outreach.
  • AI Blog Builder helps retailers drive traffic and sales through content

    With the new AI Blog Builder, merchants can effortlessly generate SEO-optimized blog posts in minutes. By providing automated topic suggestions and publishing reminders, the tool allows retailers to maintain a consistent, professional content calendar that helps drive traffic and boost sales. Advanced design controls, built-in SEO settings, and multilingual support ensure that posts are tailored to reach and resonate with target audiences, allowing merchants to scale their content strategy without the burden of manual creation.
  • AI section generator in AI Assistant helps merchants refine website content faster

    The newly embedded AI section generator in AI Assistant empowers merchants to build high-quality, on-brand website content faster. By allowing merchants to preview changes directly in the editor and providing an intuitive, conversational interface for refinements, the tool ensures website updates align with their unique brand vision. This seamless, context-aware workflow saves valuable time and enables merchants to deliver more engaging, customized digital experiences for their customers.
  • Lightspeed Scanner now helps store staff grow basket size at checkout

    Lightspeed Scanner now surfaces data-driven cross-sell prompts directly on the shop floor and at checkout. Powered by a rolling 90-day market basket analysis, Frequently Bought Together recommendations appear on the Product Details screen during look up and refresh dynamically on the Sell Screen as items are added to cart — helping sales associates to recommend suitable complementary products, regardless of their experience levels.
  • Omnichannel customer accounts bring more convenience to retail shoppers

    Shoppers buying from Lightspeed Retail merchants can now view order history and manage loyalty points through the new omnichannel customer portal. The experience helps merchants bridge the gap between in-store and online shopping while delivering the convenience customers increasingly expect.
  • NuORDER Brand Sales Overview gives brands a clearer view of wholesale performance

    NuORDER now provides a centralized view of wholesale sales performance, allowing brands to track orders, revenue, units sold and top performers in one place. With clear year-over-year visibility into sales trends and top-performing sales representatives, the dashboard gives brands a faster, more intuitive way to understand performance without relying on manual spreadsheets.

Hospitality

  • New Lightspeed AI enhancements bring insights on operations and tasks to hospitality merchants

    Lightspeed AI delivers customized AI driven insights when merchants log in to their Back Office. By asking a question in natural language, operators can rapidly generate tailored charts and insights, then pin preferred reports so critical information is always within reach. For merchants using Lightspeed Tasks to build checklists for consistent service, operators can also ask Lightspeed AI to surface operational issues based on checklist insights across locations, so teams can spot what needs attention without reading through every note and comment.
  • Lightspeed launches Locations Manager to simplify multi-site operations

    Locations Manager gives hospitality operators a centralized way to manage multiple venues from a single dashboard. In its first iteration, the feature allows businesses to share items, create menus and sync updates across locations in a few clicks, while still giving individual venues the flexibility to make regional changes when needed. Future updates are planned to introduce additional capabilities, including user permission management, invoice visibility across the business and enhanced unified reporting.
  • Lightspeed Payments automates reconciliation for hospitality businesses

    Through Lightspeed Payments, reconciliation automatically accounts for tips, split checks, chargebacks and tip adjustments, helping operators quickly spot discrepancies between POS data and bank deposits. Instead of spending hours balancing the books after service, managers can close out faster with a clearer view of actual cash flow.
  • New booking widget gives restaurants more control over the guest journey

    Lightspeed Reservations now offers an enhanced booking widget that allows hospitality customers to receive reservations directly through their own websites. By enabling guests to book without leaving a restaurant's site, the new widget creates a smoother reservation experience while giving operators the ability to capture more bookings along the guest journey.
