Hi. How can we help?

Adding suppliers

Create suppliers to track where your products and raw materials come from. Information about your suppliers is not displayed to your customers. It is intended solely for you and your staff members, to administer your shop and help with reordering products.

Lightspeed eCom does not supply automatic links to suppliers. You are responsible for maintaining your inventory and supplier contact data.

To create a supplier

  1. On the left panel of Back Office go to Products > Suppliers.
  2. At the top of the screen click Add supplier.
