Lightspeed Commerce Inc. and Uber Announce Partnership to Provide Seamless Delivery Options for Merchants
London, October 18, 2024 – Lightspeed Commerce Inc. (NYSE | TSX: LSPD) and Uber (NYSE: UBER) have announced a new partnership that will directly integrate Uber Direct and Uber Eats marketplace into Lightspeed’s platform. This collaboration will allow Lightspeed merchants to provide the best omnichannel experiences for their customers.
As a one-stop commerce platform, Lightspeed empowers merchants to effortlessly manage their business operations. Through this partnership, Lightspeed merchants will have built-in integrations with the Uber Eats marketplace and Uber Direct, Uber’s white-label delivery facilitation service. This will enable them to list their menu offerings and take orders from the Uber Eats marketplace, which is accessed by millions of monthly active platform consumers.
Additionally, through Lightspeed’s click-and-collect solution, Order Anywhere, merchants can also take orders from their own branded website and access delivery via Uber Direct. This allows them to pay only the associated delivery fee without the added cost of developing their own custom delivery fleet.
This combination of solutions will not only help merchants satisfy their customers’ delivery demands, but also tap into new markets through the Uber Eats marketplace. Moreover, it will reduce overhead on direct-to-consumer orders with Lightspeed Order Anywhere and Uber Direct.
Caroline Varga, Head of Uber Direct for the UK, explains, “On-demand delivery is now a core expectation for consumers, with 75% of them expecting express delivery as an option, and merchants are taking note. We’re proud to partner with Lightspeed to offer restaurants solutions that meet their customers’ needs and encourage repeat orders, while giving restaurants the flexibility to offer seamless delivery experiences in the way that works best for growing their business.”
This integration with Uber Eats and Uber Direct is now available to Lightspeed Restaurant customers in the UK.
