For some local businesses, running a full online store doesn't align with day-to-day operations, but lacking any digital presence can prevent potential customers from ever finding their store, and Lightspeed Showroom was created for brick-and-mortar retailers that want to bridge this gap. Showroom, supported by AI and Lightspeed technology, was made for physical retailers desiring an online presence without having to dive into the world of ecommerce themselves.
Getting started with Showroom begins with a short onboarding survey, and as part of the AI-assisted setup experience, merchants benefit from a professionally designed, custom-branded website and catalog that will highlight products, support real-time inventory, attract new customers and help them make online purchases with ease.
