Global Payments expands Lightspeed DMS partnership for embedded payments

May 8, 2026 8:30 AM

Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN) announced the renewal and expansion of its partnership with Lightspeed DMS, a dealer management systems provider for the recreational vehicle industry. The companies have maintained a business relationship 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 process payments directly within the Lightspeed platform rather than through separate systems.



Lightspeed serves more than 4,500 customers across the powersports, marine, RV, trailer and golf car industries. The company provides dealer management software that handles sales, parts, service, rental, accounting and customer relationship management functions.



"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 and drive their businesses forward."



The partnership expansion follows Global Payments' acquisition of Worldpay, which was completed in January 2026. Worldpay had been Lightspeed's previous payments partner before the acquisition.



Matt Downs, president of Global Payments' Integrated and Platforms business, said the partnership demonstrates the company's ability to provide scalable payment infrastructure for software platforms.



The information was disclosed in a company press release.
