Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN) announced the renewal and expansion of its partnership with Lightspeed DMS, a dealer management systems provider for the recreational industry. The companies have maintained a partnership since 2009.

Under the expanded agreement, Lightspeed will launch an embedded payments offering using Global Payments' Payrix Pro technology. This will allow Lightspeed's dealership customers to manage payments directly within the Lightspeed platform.

"Global Payments' commitment to partnership and dedication to drive continuous improvement have been instrumental in helping us serve our customers," said Brian Provost, CEO at Lightspeed. "With this new embedded model, Global Payments has helped us grow at scale and deliver even greater value to our 4,500 plus customers that rely on Lightspeed to power their dealerships."

Lightspeed provides dealer management systems for the powersports, marine, RV, trailer and golf car industries. The platform handles sales, parts, service, rental, accounting and customer relationship management functions.

"Through our strong partnership and alignment with Lightspeed's executives, we are helping them execute a vision of providing their dealers with an improved experience for all things financial services," said Matt Downs, president of Global Payments' Integrated and Platforms business.

The announcement follows Global Payments' completion of its Worldpay acquisition in January 2026. Global Payments processes payments across more than 175 countries and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
