Chift x Lightspeed: a technology partnership across Europe and the UK

We're proud to announce our official technology partnership with Lightspeed, one of the global leaders in point-of-sale solutions for retail and hospitality. A partnership that covers the whole of Europe and the UK, and that concretely changes the way software vendors can connect to Lightspeed.

No more certifications, just open access

Until now, integrating with Lightspeed required going through a specific certification process: lengthy, costly, and ongoing. This partnership changes that.

Any software vendor connected to the Chift API now automatically gets access to Lightspeed, no additional certification, no direct negotiation, no custom development. And that's not all: the same integration unlocks our entire catalogue. One single entry point, immediate access to the whole ecosystem.

Lightspeed making a bold, modern move

Lightspeed is making a strong choice here: opening up their ecosystem so their customers can freely connect with the best tools on the market. A retailer or restaurateur shouldn't have to worry about whether their tools work together and with this partnership, they no longer have to. This is exactly where the market is heading.

A well-timed move

This partnership comes at a pivotal moment for the European market. E-reporting is being progressively rolled out across Europe, and seamless connectivity between point-of-sale systems and financial management tools is becoming both a regulatory and commercial priority. The software vendors who get ahead of this transition today will be the best positioned tomorrow.
