New York, January 12, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Lightspeed Commerce Inc. has launched a new centralized, multi-brand shopping and ordering experience within its Marketplace, according to a recent announcement.
The company unveiled the new platform at the National Retail Federation’s Big Show in New York. The new platform marks a significant evolution of Lightspeed’s wholesale offering. The Marketplace transforms Lightspeed Wholesale into an online destination where retailers can browse, compare, and purchase products across brands in one consistent and intuitive experience.
The improved Marketplace, integrated with Lightspeed POS, is designed to link wholesale commerce and ordering directly to retail inventory planning and operations, with the goal of reducing friction in the sell-in and sell-through process. The company says that retailers using Lightspeed POS can shop and discover new brands directly within the platform, drawing on insights from the wider Marketplace.
Dax Dasilva, Founder and CEO of Lightspeed, said the Marketplace connects brands and retailers to the right products at the right moment, helping them buy and sell smarter within a unified retail ecosystem.
The company outlined the values for three key audiences:
Brands: Streamline wholesale operations and sell more to a network of over 100,000 retailers at the moment they are ready to shop.
Retailers: Maintaining a fresh assortment and staying ahead of demand spikes and gaps is essential. Equally important is having visibility into purchasing trends across a broad retail network–including both Lightspeed POS and non-POS retailers–enabling more informed and strategic buying decisions.
Retailers on Lightspeed: Retailers using Lightspeed POS can shop and discover new brands directly within the platform, drawing on insights from the wider Marketplace. Orders flow seamlessly into their existing systems, simplifying inventory management while connecting them to a larger ecosystem of retailers and brands.
For Lightspeed POS retailers, orders placed through Marketplace sync directly into Lightspeed Retail, reducing manual entry, minimizing errors, and accelerating product setup and merchandising. With this integration, retailers can introduce new products to the sales floor faster with accurate, consistent data.
According to the company, the Marketplace supports scalable growth through flexible, customizable plans while protecting brand integrity by ensuring accurate and consistent representation across every store. It provides brands with control over pricing and expansion through curated access, alongside enhanced data visibility and insights that help drive higher average order values.
Chris Akrimi, Vice President, Supplier Network & B2B GTM at Lightspeed, said that by giving retailers instant access to in-season inventory, AI-driven insights, and a centralized multi-brand shopping experience, the company is creating a faster, more efficient, and more profitable wholesale ecosystem for everyone.
The Marketplace is currently in Beta, with full general availability planned for early 2026.
Lightspeed is dual-listed on the New York Stock Exchange and Toronto Stock Exchange (NYSE: LSPD) (TSX: LSPD).
