A Lightspeed alternative built only for jewelry
Lightspeed Retail is a solid general retail POS, with good work orders, layaway and serial numbers. Jewelers who look elsewhere usually want jewelry trade built in: gold priced by weight and karat, old gold exchange, lab certificate fields, Arabic or Urdu screens, or the freedom to keep their own card processor. GetJewelryPOS includes all of that in every plan.
Full GetJewelryPOS vs Lightspeed Retail comparisonWhy jewelers look for a Lightspeed Retail alternative
- 01
Gold priced the way you quote it
Price any piece by grams or tola, with karat purity, your rate for the day, making charge per gram, flat or percent, and stone value. Gold pricing by weight is not listed on Lightspeed's public pages as of 18 Oct 2026.
- 02
Old gold and certificates included
Record buyback by weight, karat and deduction and offset it against a new sale. Store lab, report number, carat, color, clarity and cut against each serial, so the certificate stays linked to the sale and the customer.
- 03
Every jewelry feature in every plan
Lightspeed's tiers are Basic $109, Core $179 and Plus $339 per month billed monthly, per third-party listings (checked 18 Oct 2026). Our plans differ only by shops, registers and staff. Repairs, layaway, gold pricing, serials and certificates are never held back for a higher tier.
- 04
Keep your own card processor
Lightspeed offers integrated Lightspeed Payments. GetJewelryPOS works with the processor and terminal you already use, so your merchant account, rates and statements stay as they are when you change POS, and there is no new card contract to sign at the same time.
- 05
Ready for the UAE and Pakistan
AED prices with VAT included, PKR price lists, Arabic and Urdu screens and receipts in the shop's language. Right-to-left languages and local pricing are not listed on Lightspeed's public pages as of 18 Oct 2026.
Who should stay with Lightspeed Retail
Stay with Lightspeed if jewelry is one category in a broader store, you value having payments and POS from one vendor, or you depend on integrations in its ecosystem. Its work orders, special orders and layaway are mature, and a store that never prices gold by weight may not gain enough from a switch.
