Does Lightspeed Retail connect to Google local inventory and delivery apps?
Yes. Zachcart connects Lightspeed Retail today through the API pathway. Your items, on-hand counts and prices publish to Google Search, Maps and Shopping and to the pickup and delivery channels Zachcart enables, without new hardware and without changing how you ring a sale. Connecting is free; Zachcart takes 2% on orders it brings you through those channels.
What Lightspeed Retail is
Lightspeed Retail is a point-of-sale system used in specialty, apparel, other retail, sold by Lightspeed Commerce Inc. It is a cloud system, aimed at small and mid-sized, mid-market retailers. The company reports ~150,000 customer locations (total); ~97,000 in growth engines: a figure from the company's filings, not a US-only count, so read it as a signal of scale rather than an audited base. Lightspeed Retail is on Google's free Local Inventory app list, which covers the Google side on its own; Zachcart adds the checkout channels and store-branded product pages from the same live feed.
How the integration works
Lightspeed Retail is a cloud system, so it uses Zachcart's API pathway. Nothing is installed in the store.
- 01Authorize.
You grant Zachcart access to your Lightspeed Retail account; it takes minutes and your vendor is not required.
- 02Catalog read.
Zachcart reads items, quantities and prices through the vendor's interface and maps your departments to the channels you choose.
- 03Live sync.
Changes at the register flow to your online listings continuously, so a shopper never drives to an empty shelf.
What a Lightspeed Retail store gets
When someone searches a product you stock plus "near me", your store appears with "in stock" — the signal the chains already show.
Every item gets a page under your store name, not a marketplace's.
Which products people search for in your area and whether you carry them.
The same inventory feed powers the checkout channels Zachcart enables, so an order is placed against live counts, not a copy of last week's menu.
General retail & horizontal POS: what decides the integration
Horizontal cloud POS (Square, Clover, Shopify POS, Lightspeed, KORONA, Heartland, Epos Now, Erply, Loyverse, PayPal Zettle, SumUp and others) processes a small share of US in-store retail: Clover, Square, Lightspeed and Shopify POS together carry roughly 2–4% of the $5.88T on estimates from their disclosed payment volumes. Square, Clover and Lightspeed are on Google's free Local Inventory list, and Shopify is a Merchant Center feed partner. Their DoorDash and Uber Eats connectors are documented for restaurant menus; for retail catalogs none is confirmed (a 2024 Square seller-community thread says Square for Retail had no native DoorDash connector). Zachcart adds the retail-catalog side: one live feed from the register to Google and the checkout channels.
What we touch, and what we don't
- ✓We read items, counts and prices.
- ✓We leave pricing logic, loyalty, supplier programs and counter workflow exactly as they are.
- ✓Your reseller or vendor does not need to be involved, though we will work with them if you prefer.
- ✓Lightspeed Retail already reports a connector to Uber Eats (per the platform or vendor page, restaurant product only). Zachcart does not replace it; it adds Google local inventory, store-branded pages and the other checkout channels from one live feed, and keeps every channel on the same counts.
