About Lightspeed eCom

The webshop with Dutch roots, paired with the till.

Lightspeed eCom traces back to SEOshop, an Amsterdam-based ecommerce platform that Lightspeed bought in October 2015 and rebranded. That heritage shows in the customer base: the Netherlands is the second-largest eCom market by store count after the United States, and Belgian retailers sit close behind. A typical eCom merchant is an independent shop that needed a webshop in their own language, with multi-currency, abandoned-cart flows and a real product taxonomy, not a marketplace listing.

The data model on Lightspeed eCom holds carts, categories, customer groups, customers, discount coupons, orders, products and subscriptions. That is enough to answer the questions a webshop owner really asks, but the answers sit across the storefront, the till, the accounting package and the email tool. Pulling eCom into a warehouse is where the cart that did not convert, the loyal customer who walked into the shop instead, and the subscription that quietly churned, finally land in the same picture.

  • Product recommendations on real basket and view history
  • Churn-risk scoring on subscription customers
  • Demand forecasts that include online seasonality, not only POS

Real business questions

Answers you will finally get.

Which categories really convert from cart to paid order?

Started carts joined to paid orders, broken down by category and traffic source. Surfaces the categories where cart-recovery is worth the effort and the ones where the cart is mostly window-shopping.

How is the subscription book really doing?

Active, paused and cancelled subscriptions per cohort, with MRR and churn rate. Shows whether the recurring side of the shop is growing or quietly bleeding while new orders mask the trend.

Are webshop and shop customers the same people?

Customer records joined across Lightspeed eCom and Lightspeed Retail (R-Series) by email and phone. Tells you which loyal customers buy in both channels and which only ever shop one side, so retention work has the right target.

Value for everyone in the organisation

Where each function gets value.

For finance leaders

Daily booking of webshop revenue into the accounting package, in the right currency and VAT split. Subscription MRR and churn are visible alongside one-off orders, so the recurring book stops being a guess.

For sales leaders

Marketing sees which categories really convert and which campaigns lifted incremental orders past the discount given. Wholesale and loyalty customer groups show up with their own margin picture.

For operations

Cart abandonment by category, refund rate by SKU and stock alerts that include webshop sell-through plus shop-floor stock. Reorder decisions stop ignoring the online side of the business.

Ideas

What you can automate with Lightspeed eCom.

Pair with Lightspeed Retail (R-Series)

Stitch the webshop and the till into one customer view

For retailers running Lightspeed Retail (R-Series) in the shop and Lightspeed eCom online, Data Panda joins customers, orders and SKUs across both. Loyalty, returns and group reporting work on one customer record instead of treating the same person as two unrelated profiles.

Pair with Exact Online

Book eCom orders into Exact Online

Lightspeed eCom orders, refunds and subscription invoices land daily in Exact Online with the right VAT split per country and the matching payment events for bank reconciliation. The webshop revenue stops needing a month-end Excel job to close cleanly.

Pair with Klaviyo

Run cart-recovery and post-purchase flows on the right behaviour

Cart, order and subscription events from Lightspeed eCom flow into Klaviyo as profile properties and timeline activity. Recovery emails target the categories that really convert, post-purchase flows are grounded in what people really bought, and subscription win-back campaigns get a real churn signal.

Pair with SendCloud

Match Sendcloud labels back to webshop margin

Sendcloud shipping events are joined to the eCom order they belong to, so carrier choice, shipping cost and on-time rate sit next to the margin on each order. Repeat returners and the categories with the worst delivery experience surface before they show up in the support queue.

Three steps

From Lightspeed eCom to answers in three steps.

01

Connect securely

OAuth authentication. Read-only by default. We sign a DPA and your admin keeps the keys.

02

Land in your warehouse

Data flows into your warehouse on your schedule. Near real time or nightly, your call. You own the data.

03

Reporting, automation, AI

We build the first dashboard, workflow or AI feature with you, then hand over the keys. Or we stay on for ongoing delivery.

Two ways to work with us

Pick the track that fits how you work.

Track 01

Self-serve

We set up the foundation. Your team builds on top.

  • Lightspeed eCom connector configured and running
  • Warehouse set up in your cloud account
  • Clean access for your Power BI, Fabric or Tableau team
  • Documentation on what's in the data model
  • Sync monitoring so you're warned before reports break

Best fit Teams that already have a BI analyst or data engineer and want to own the build.

Track 02

Done for you

We build the whole thing, end to end.

  • Everything in Self-serve
  • Dashboards built to the questions your team actually asks
  • Automations between your systems
  • AI workflows scoped to real tasks your team runs
  • Custom apps where a dashboard does not cut it
  • Ongoing delivery at a pace that fits your team

Best fit Teams without in-house BI or dev capacity. You tell us what you need and we deliver it.

Before you book

Frequently asked questions.

Who owns the data?

You do. It lands in your warehouse, on your cloud account. We don't resell or aggregate it. If you stop working with us, the warehouse stays yours and keeps running.

How fresh is the data?

Near real time for most operational systems. For heavier sources we schedule hourly or nightly. You pick based on what the reports need.

Do I need a warehouse already?

No. If you don't have one, we help you pick one and set it up as part of the first delivery. Common starting points are Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, or a small Postgres start.

Is this the same as Lightspeed Retail (R-Series)?

No. Lightspeed eCom is the webshop product that traces back to SEOshop, the Amsterdam platform Lightspeed bought in 2015. Lightspeed Retail (R-Series) is the in-shop POS. Many independent retailers in Belgium and the Netherlands run both. Data Panda has a separate connector for each, and stitches them in the warehouse on customer and SKU.

Are subscriptions handled?

Yes. The subscriptions table from Lightspeed eCom lands in the warehouse with status, plan and renewal events intact. Active, paused and cancelled subscriptions are visible per cohort, so MRR and churn are first-class numbers next to one-off orders rather than a manual count.

We sell in several currencies. How does that come across?

Orders keep their original currency and the FX rate at order time. Reporting can show revenue in the original currency for marketing and a single reporting currency for finance, without having to redo the conversion in Excel each month.
