Lightspeed's Generative AI web builder creates
bespoke websites based on screenshot examples, eliminating the need
for manual coding; helping retailers save both time and
money
MONTREAL, March 19,
2025 /PRNewswire/ - Lightspeed Commerce Inc. (NYSE:
LSPD) (TSX: LSPD) ("Lightspeed" or the "Company"),
the one-stop commerce platform empowering merchants to provide the
best omnichannel experiences, today announced a cutting-edge new
AI-driven website building tool, designed to help retail merchants
generate web pages from a simple screen grab.
No need for manual coding or third party developers. This
innovative tool lets retailers create custom web elements without
coding by using AI to analyze screen captures and generate
production-ready code. Merchants simply describe or show
Lightspeed's Website Builder what they want using real-world
examples, and the tool builds them fully integrated,
professional-looking online stores with speed and ease. This
democratization of web building can save retailers time and money,
reduce complexity, and deliver beautifully on-brand websites in
minutes.
"Designing a website in-house can be time-consuming,
frustrating, and complex for many merchants. Without design
expertise or coding skills, they can often spend significant time
experimenting with layouts, adjusting branding elements, and
troubleshooting issues to get their store looking just right," said
Dax Dasilva, Founder and CEO at
Lightspeed. "Our goal is to remove the friction from website design
and give merchants the power to iterate at the speed of commerce.
This AI-driven technology is a leap forward in ecommerce
efficiency, which can help businesses of all sizes create
compelling digital experiences effortlessly."
"As a self-taught entrepreneur, I built my web store from the
ground up but would often hit roadblocks due to my skills and
available tools. With this new solution, I've been able to create
custom sections that perfectly match my vision—without needing
external help," said Ryan Pratt,
Owner of Colorado-based shoe store
Treadz. "AI can be a game-changer for my online business, and I'm
excited to see how Lightspeed is bringing these innovations into
their platform."
Lightspeed's AI-powered website builder is currently available
in beta version with select Lightspeed merchants, with broader
availability expected later this year.
Lightspeed powers the world's best brands and retailers
including: Birkenstock (Australia)
and Neal's Yard (London).
Lightspeed Retail is currently available in Canada, the United
States, the United Kingdom,
Belgium, the Netherlands, Australia, and New
Zealand.
