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.
