Frontdesk
Lightspeed AI Integration

The AI receptionist for Lightspeed Retail, Lightspeed eCom, and Lightspeed X-Series

Frontdesk plugs directly into Lightspeed Retail (R-Series), Lightspeed eCom (C-Series), Lightspeed X-Series (formerly Vend), Lightspeed Restaurant (K-Series), Lightspeed Golf, and the Lightspeed API to handle every voice call, SMS, web chat, and inquiry. It coexists with native Lightspeed tooling and adds the 24/7 AI voice + outbound + marketplace layer Lightspeed does not natively provide.

The Problem

Lightspeed Retail phone calls interrupt floor associates

Phone calls about hours, returns, layaway, special orders, and product availability constantly pull Lightspeed Retail associates away from in-store shoppers. Frontdesk handles the call, queries Lightspeed Retail inventory in real time, and only escalates when truly needed.

Lower in-store conversion, distracted associates

Lightspeed eCom needs 24/7 chat + voice

Lightspeed eCom ships with a great storefront but no native AI customer service. Frontdesk adds 24/7 voice + outbound + chat for Lightspeed eCom stores.

Lost online conversion, slow chat response

X-Series (Vend) multi-outlet sprawl is hard to staff

Lightspeed X-Series (formerly Vend) is excellent for multi-outlet retail but requires phone coverage per location. Frontdesk consolidates every X-Series outlet into one AI receptionist with real-time per-outlet inventory truth.

Inefficient multi-outlet staffing, lost calls

Multichannel sprawl across Lightspeed + marketplaces

Lightspeed retailers also selling on Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart Marketplace, TikTok Shop, Instagram Shopping, Facebook Marketplace, and Google Shopping face channel sprawl. Frontdesk unifies every channel with Lightspeed inventory and orders.

Channel sprawl, lost context, oversell risk
