Global Payments renews and expands Lightspeed DMS partnership
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 partnership, which began in 2009, will now include embedded payments capabilities.
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.
Lightspeed serves more than 4,500 customers across the Powersports, Marine, RV, Trailer and Golf Car industries. The company provides dealer management systems that handle 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."
Matt Downs, president of Global Payments' Integrated and Platforms business, said the partnership demonstrates the company's ability to help partners expand their payments programs. The embedded payments solution aims to provide dealerships with integrated financial services within their existing workflows.
Global Payments completed its acquisition of Worldpay in January 2026, according to the company statement.
