Shopify makes it easy to switch from Lightspeed POS
Having to choose between three payment processors didn’t really give me a lot of leverage to shop around for a good rate. Shopify has way more options to choose from, so I was able to find something that made sense for my business.

Shopify POS lets me do everything I could before, but saves me a ton of money each and every month. Awesome add-ons for my store and POS system are really affordable too, and they automate a lot of the busywork that comes with owning a business.
— John
We initially tried Lightspeed but were discouraged by how difficult and overly complex everything felt. We were looking for a fast, efficient, and dead-simple out-of-the- box solution, and we found that in Shopify POS.
— Lynn
I weighed my options heavily before deciding to go with Shopify POS, and what I loved most was the ability to access my backend from practically any device. My iPhone’s battery died so I had to use my wife’s 4 year old android to make a small change to my store. Still worked without a hitch.
— Sean
This switch was exactly what my business needed. Shopify POS is simple, affordable and open - three qualities I honestly couldn’t find in another POS system.
— Earl
I thought all I wanted to do was set up a small retail location, but thought twice after getting a quick tour of Shopify’s online capabilities. Within a few days I had designed my store, added all of my products, and even started making sales! My inventory is synced too, so it’s easy to keep things organized.
