Sell your Retail POS products online with eCom (E-Series) and connect your eCom (E-Series) store to any site or social page to reach your customers everywhere.

Setting up eCom and Retail POS

  Important

For retailers with an existing eCom store, please follow the steps in our How to connect an existing eCom (E-Series) account to Retail POS (X-Series) guide instead.

To set up a new eCom store and connect the Retail POS-eCom integration:

  1. Navigate to Setup > Apps.
  2. Scroll down to the Sell Online section and click Connect to Lightspeed Retail on the eCom module.

  5. Select a register to record eCom order against from the Register drop-down. We recommend setting up a dedicated eCom register to track online sales separately from your in-store purchases and prevent orders from outside trading hours opening your closed register. To learn how to set up a new register, refer to our Setting up your outlets and registers guide.

  6. Select one or more outlets to sync your Retail POS inventory to eCom from. The outlet associated with the Register you selected will already be selected and greyed out. If you would like to select more than one outlet, refer to our Multi-outlet inventory with the eCom (E-Series) integration guide.
