Lightspeed and Faire Launch Lightspeed Wholesale Integration to Power Brand Discovery and Smarter Buying Français
Retailers gain seamless access to over 100,000 Faire brands directly within Lightspeed Retail, extending Lightspeed's multi-brand marketplace ecosystem
MONTREAL, March 31, 2026 /CNW/ - Lightspeed Commerce Inc. (NYSE: LSPD) (TSX: LSPD) ("Lightspeed" or the "Company"), the unified omnichannel platform powering ambitious retail, golf and hospitality businesses in over 100 countries, today announced the launch of a new integration with Faire, a B2B wholesale marketplace. The integration expands the Lightspeed Wholesale feature set, giving retailers access to more than 100,000 additional Faire brands that will integrate directly within Lightspeed Retail, further strengthening its comprehensive wholesale buying ecosystem for modern retailers and reinforcing that Lightspeed is the POS with wholesale built right in.
Independent retailers face increasing operational burden as they work to differentiate product assortment while managing tight margins and more complex operations. Traditionally, sourcing new products requires navigating multiple wholesale channels, re-entering product data manually, and reconciling inventory across disconnected systems. By seamlessly importing and syncing Faire's orders within Lightspeed, Lightspeed further connects product discovery and ordering with in-store operations in a single, unified workflow, reducing friction from purchase to point of sale.
"With this integration, retailers can discover new brands and get those products onto their shelves without adding operational complexity," said Dax Dasilva, Founder and CEO at Lightspeed. "Together with NuORDER by Lightspeed, we're giving merchants access to both established global brands and emerging independent brands within one unified platform, helping them diversify their assortment and operate more efficiently."
The integration allows retailers to link their existing Faire account directly within Lightspeed Retail. Once connected, merchants can place orders through Faire, with product information including images, descriptions, variants, and cost data, automatically syncing into Lightspeed Retail. Retailers can choose to import selected products or automatically create inventory items when orders are placed, accelerating the path from delivery to merchandising and sale while minimizing manual data entry and errors.
"We're excited to partner with Lightspeed to make wholesale a more seamless part of how retailers run their business," said Sanjay Raman, Chief Product Officer at Faire. "By connecting Faire directly into Lightspeed Retail, retailers can move from discovery to shelf faster, without the manual work that typically slows them down."
This integration is now available to eligible Lightspeed Retail merchants. To learn more, visit lightspeedhq.com/integrations/faire.
