Platform
Korte omschrijving i

Lightspeed R-Series is the retail-first solution, strongly focused on POS, with e-commerce integrations as an addition.

Magento (Adobe Commerce) is a powerful open-source e-commerce platform with endless flexibility, but often comes with high costs and complex management.
Kosten / TCO i

Subscription. Additional modules and integrations often cost more.

Licence costs (for Adobe Commerce), hosting, customisation and maintenance make Magento relatively expensive.
Hosting & infrastructuur i

SaaS hosting by Lightspeed. No self-management required.

Magento requires self-hosting or a partner. Management and scalability sit with the merchant or implementation partner.
Updates & onderhoud i

Updates are applied automatically.

Major upgrades and patches are complex and time-consuming. Often have an impact on customisations.
Performance / snelheid i

Sufficient for retail, but limited for large e-commerce-only shops.

Performance depends on hosting, caching and code quality. With a good setup Magento can be fast.
Flexibiliteit i

Flexibility is limited. Development via partners.

Open-source and extremely flexible. Ideal for customisation, but complex and costly to maintain.
Design / thema's i

A few templates available. Less variety.

Many themes available. Custom designs are often built fully bespoke.
Apps & ecosysteem i

Smaller app ecosystem. Integrations mostly retail-oriented.

Extensive extension marketplace, but quality varies. High dependency on partners.
SEO & marketing i

SEO functionality available but basic.

Strong SEO capabilities, but implementation is often technically complex.
Checkout & betalingen i

Checkout mainly focused on retail with online extension.

Fully customisable, but development work is required. Integrations with PSPs are widely available.
Meertaligheid / internationalisatie i

Limited multilingual support possible.

Multi-store setup supports multiple languages and markets. Complex to manage.
Integraties / koppelingen i

Strong integration with retail systems. Less broad than Shopify.

Many integrations via extensions and customisation. ERP and PIM often via a partner.
Beveiliging & compliance i

SSL by default. PCI handled by Lightspeed.

PCI DSS depends on hosting and implementation. Patches are needed regularly.
Support & community i

Support via Lightspeed and partners.

Community-driven. Support via partners and agencies.
Time-to-market i

Quickly operational for retail shops.

Implementations often take months due to complexity.
Schaalbaarheid i

Highly scalable with the right hosting. Popular with enterprise merchants.
