Lightspeed Commerce Inc. has added Faire, a leading B2B wholesale marketplace, to its retail platform, giving Lightspeed Retail merchants access to more than 100,000 Faire brands directly within the Lightspeed ecosystem. The new integration automatically pulls Faire product data—including images, descriptions, variants, and cost information—into Lightspeed Retail and can create inventory items when orders are placed, streamlining the flow from discovery to merchandising and sale.
The move removes manual data entry and reduces errors, allowing merchants to diversify their assortments without adding operational complexity. By combining the Faire catalog with its existing NuORDER network, Lightspeed is broadening its wholesale moat and positioning itself as a one‑stop solution for both established global brands and emerging independent labels.
Lightspeed’s Q3 FY2026 results provide context for the strategic value of the integration. Revenue rose 11% year‑over‑year to $312.3 million, beating analyst expectations of $311.63 million. Gross profit margin improved to 43% from 41% in the prior year, driven by headcount optimization and a stronger transaction‑based mix. Transaction‑based revenue grew 15% to $209.4 million, while subscription revenue increased 6% to $93.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA expanded to $20.2 million from $16.6 million, and the company guided for Q4 FY2026 revenue of $280–$284 million and adjusted EBITDA of about $15 million.
"With this integration, retailers can discover new brands and get those products onto their shelves without adding operational complexity," said Lightspeed founder and CEO Dax Dasilva. Dasilva also noted that the company’s transformation continued to deliver results this quarter, with both customer locations and GTV growing at an accelerated pace. CFO Asha Bakshani added, "This quarter again demonstrates disciplined execution against the framework we laid out at Capital Market’s Day. We delivered strong results, continued to improve our already healthy balance sheet, and expanded Adjusted EBITDA while investing behind our growth engines."
Analysts have maintained a consensus rating of Hold for Lightspeed, with a 12‑month price target averaging $13.08. The company’s guidance for the full fiscal year 2026—revenue of $1,216–$1,220 million and adjusted EBITDA of about $72 million—signals confidence in sustaining growth while managing costs, even as the wholesale market remains competitive.
