Se Oliver POSPriser

Den korte version

Lightspeed Retail is a polished, full-suite retail platform. It does everything — POS, inventory, e-commerce, payments — and the integration between those pieces is the main pitch. The trade-off is cost and lock-in: you're paying Lightspeed for every piece, and you can't mix-and-match. If you already use WooCommerce and want POS, Oliver gives you the integrated experience without retiring your existing store.

Bedst til

Mid-size retailers buying every piece from one vendor.

Værst til

WooCommerce-first merchants, cost-sensitive shops, or anyone who wants to pick best-of-breed for each function.

Priser

Lightspeed Retail starts at $89/mo per location, with the e-commerce add-on +$50/mo. Oliver is $49/year flat.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål

Lightspeed has been around longer — is it more reliable?
Both products are reliable for their use case. Lightspeed has more bells and whistles for large multi-outlet chains. Oliver matches the core feature set and wins on WooCommerce-native integration. Pick based on your platform: if you're on WooCommerce, Oliver fits better.
Can Lightspeed integrate with WooCommerce?
Lightspeed has a WooCommerce connector, but it's a mirror-sync — you maintain two product databases that try to stay in sync. Oliver doesn't sync because there's nothing to sync; WooCommerce *is* the database.
