Key Terms

point of sale, ecommerce, b2b commerce, forward-looking statements, +3 more

7 terms

point of sale technical

"Retailers can now access and order from thousands of brands—all directly from within NuOrder and the Lightspeed point of sale system"

A point of sale is the place where a retail transaction occurs, such as a checkout counter in a store or an online shopping page. It is where goods or services are exchanged for payment, often involving a cash register or digital payment system. For investors, the point of sale indicates where sales happen, helping to measure a company's revenue and customer activity.

ecommerce technical

"integrating wholesale, inventory management, POS, and ecommerce into one unified retail experience"

Ecommerce is the buying and selling of goods and services over the internet, using websites, apps or online marketplaces and the digital tools that handle payment and delivery—think of it as a virtual shopping mall. For investors, ecommerce matters because it shapes how companies grow revenue, reach customers and control costs: strong online sales and efficient delivery can boost profits and scalability, while weak user engagement, high logistics expenses or fierce competition can hurt valuations and cash flow.

b2b commerce financial

"Lightspeed Wholesale is a leading B2B commerce platform powering wholesale buying and selling"

B2B commerce is the buying and selling of goods or services between businesses rather than to individual consumers, typically covering wholesale supply, professional services, and digital platforms that help companies order, pay, and manage inventory. Investors care because B2B deals often mean larger, repeatable contracts, steadier cash flow and higher barriers to entry than consumer sales; think of it like a marketplace where stores and factories shop for the supplies they need, not a consumer storefront.

forward-looking statements regulatory

"This news release may include forward-looking information and forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws"

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

management's discussion and analysis financial

"those risk factors identified in our most recent Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"

Management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) is a section in a company’s regulatory filings where company leaders explain recent results, trends, risks, and the plans behind their numbers in plain language. It matters to investors because it offers management’s view of what drove performance and what could affect future results — like a coach explaining the game plan and potential challenges — helping investors judge whether the company’s story and strategy are credible.

annual information form regulatory

"under "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Information Form, and in our other filings"

A company's annual information form is a comprehensive regulatory filing that lays out its business description, key assets, risks, legal matters and other background details shareholders need to understand the company’s operations. Think of it as a detailed owner’s manual or dossier that supplements financial statements, helping investors do deeper homework on how the business works and what could affect its future performance.

edgar regulatory

"available under our profiles on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov"

EDGAR is a system used by companies to share important financial and business information with the public. It functions like an online filing cabinet where investors can access official reports and documents that help them understand a company's financial health and operations. This transparency allows investors to make more informed decisions, much like checking a company's report card before investing.

Retailers can now access and order from thousands of brands—all directly from within NuOrder and the Lightspeed point of sale system

NEW YORK, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Lightspeed Commerce Inc. (NYSE: LSPD) (TSX: LSPD) ("Lightspeed" or the "Company"), the unified omnichannel platform powering ambitious retail, golf, and hospitality businesses in over 100 countries, today unveiled a new centralized, multi-brand shopping and ordering experience within its Marketplace, marking a significant evolution of Lightspeed's wholesale offering. Built for how modern retailers buy today, the new experience enables faster, more flexible, and continuous purchasing across brands within NuORDER by Lightspeed.

Announced at the National Retail Federation's Big Show in New York, Marketplace transforms Lightspeed Wholesale into the online destination where retailers can browse, compare, and purchase products across brands in one consistent and intuitive experience. Instead of logging into dozens of individual brand portals and juggling multiple shopping carts or offline spreadsheets, retailers can source products for their store in a single place with built-in insights and direct POS integration. Brands, in turn, can showcase their products to more qualified, in-market buyers to grow beyond their existing retail base and capitalize on shifting demands.

The new and improved Marketplace experience within NuORDER, and integrated with Lightspeed POS, is a foundational step in Lightspeed's broader vision to build a connected ecosystem where retail and wholesale meet in real time. By linking wholesale commerce and ordering directly to retail inventory planning and operations, Lightspeed facilitates a continuous, data-informed loop that reduces friction in both the sell-in and sell-through process. Through this integration, brands gain a more efficient path to market — reaching more buyers with the right products at the right time. Retailers get the speed and flexibility they need to adjust their assortment based on in-season demand.  Together, these capabilities demonstrate Lightspeed's commitment to integrating wholesale, inventory management, POS, and ecommerce into one unified retail experience.

"We are closing the loop from supply to store to sale," said Dax Dasilva, Founder and CEO of Lightspeed. "Marketplace is the next evolution of our wholesale network. It connects brands and retailers to the right products at the right moment and helps them buy and sell smarter within a unified retail ecosystem."

Marketplace delivers value to three key audiences:

• Brands: Streamline wholesale operations and sell more to a network of over 100,000 retailers at the moment they are ready to shop.
• Retailers: Maintaining a fresh assortment and staying ahead of demand spikes and gaps is essential. Equally important is having visibility into purchasing trends across a broad retail network—including both Lightspeed POS and non-POS retailers—enabling more informed and strategic buying decisions.
• Retailers on Lightspeed: Retailers using Lightspeed POS can shop and discover new brands directly within the platform, drawing on insights from the wider Marketplace. Orders flow seamlessly into their existing systems, simplifying inventory management while connecting them to a larger ecosystem of retailers and brands.

For Lightspeed POS retailers, orders placed through Marketplace sync directly into Lightspeed Retail, reducing manual entry, minimizing errors, and accelerating product setup and merchandising. With this integration, retailers can introduce new products to the sales floor faster with accurate, consistent data.

The Marketplace is a trusted platform that supports scalable growth through flexible, customizable plans while protecting brand integrity by ensuring accurate and consistent representation across every store. It provides brands with control over pricing and expansion through curated access, alongside enhanced data visibility and insights that help drive higher average order values. Together, these capabilities enable brands to expand beyond their existing customer base strategically—on their own terms.

"Marketplace solves one of the biggest challenges in wholesale, which is the gap between what buyers need now and how brands traditionally sell," added Chris Akrimi, Vice President, Supplier Network & B2B GTM at Lightspeed. "By giving retailers instant access to in-season inventory, AI-driven insights, and a centralized multi-brand shopping experience, we are creating a faster, more efficient, and more profitable wholesale ecosystem for everyone."

Marketplace is currently in Beta, with full general availability planned for early 2026.
