Hi. How can we help?

Getting to know Lightspeed eCom (E-Series)

This program is only available to certain North American merchants.

Once you’ve completed the upgrade, you are ready to start selling on eCom (E-Series). Although the E-Series Help Center has all the information you need to become comfortable navigating around, this article outlines some of the main features you'll be using often.

Accessing eCom (E-Series)

When you're logged in to Retail POS, select the product drop-down from the main menu, and select eCom (E-Series), just as you did previously for eCom (C-Series). From here, you'll go to the eCom (E-Series) control panel. You can also log in through https://ecom.lightspeed.app/ if you only have an eCom (C-Series) login.

eCom (E-Series) components

Control panel

The control panel is accessible only to you, the merchant, and it's where data and content are managed and orders are fulfilled. This section represents the day-to-day workflow of a merchant.

Storefront

The storefront is where the data is organized and displayed to the customer, and where the customer places an order. This section is built by the merchant and it represents their brand's look and feel.
