Lightspeed introduces "On Deck" to help golf courses recapture canceled tee-time demand. September 14, 2026 New waitlist technology notifies golfers the moment their preferred tee time opens up, helping courses maximize bookings without manual work. MONTREAL, SEPTEMBER - Lightspeed Commerce Inc. (NYSE | TSX: LSPD) ("Lightspeed" or the "Company"), the unified omnichannel platform powering ambitious retail, golf and hospitality businesses in over 100 countries, today announced On Deck, a new Lightspeed Golf capability that helps courses recapture demand when a tee time becomes available. Through the Lightspeed Golf booking experience, golfers can set up an On Deck request for a preferred tee time or time window. When a matching opening is found due to a cancellation or rescheduling by the original booker, they receive an automated email with an opportunity to book it. Golfers want to play at their preferred time, but when that time is already booked, they are often left checking back manually or settling for a less convenient slot. On Deck gives them an easier way to express interest in the tee times they want, while helping courses connect newly available inventory with golfers who are ready to play. For golf courses, a filled tee time can create revenue opportunities beyond the booking itself, including cart rentals, pro shop purchases and food and beverage sales. By connecting newly available tee times with interested golfers, On Deck can help courses improve occupancy, recover revenue from cancellations and reduce the manual follow-up associated with managing demand. On Deck works with the Lightspeed Golf booking experience and tee sheet, helping courses manage demand without adding another system or process. The capability is designed to reduce empty slots while minimizing additional work for course staff and golfers. On Deck rolls out alongside Tee Time Reminders, which sends golfers an automated email 48 hours before a booking to confirm or edit their reservation. Lightspeed plans to continue expanding On Deck to help courses deliver better golfer experiences and capture more booking opportunities. About Lightspeed.

ShardLab backs StoreHub to roll out payment-linked merchant rewards. Singapore-based venture studio ShardLab has made an undisclosed strategic investment in StoreHub to build payment-linked rewards products across Southeast Asia, the companies said on Wednesday. The partnership gives ShardLab direct access to StoreHub's network of more than 20,000 merchant locations across Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Japan, which together process over 200 million transactions worth roughly US$3.5 billion annually. Alongside the equity investment, the two firms will establish a joint venture to build consumer payment and loyalty software. The products aim to tie merchant promotions directly to payment processing rather than relying on separate stamp cards or third-party apps. Plugging loyalty into payment hardware. ShardLab operates as the innovation arm of South Korean blockchain investment firm Hashed, established through a partnership with Thai financial group SCBX. The venture studio develops programmable loyalty systems designed to embed rewards rules directly into point-of-sale transactions. For small restaurants and boutique retailers, managing fragmented payment options, ranging from cash and bank transfers to QR codes and mobile wallets, often makes running structured loyalty programmes impractical. StoreHub sells cloud-based point-of-sale hardware and management software that consolidates sales, inventory and ordering for small businesses. StoreHub chief executive Wai Hong Fong said the joint venture is part of a broader push to automate merchant operations, including rebuilding the core platform around artificial intelligence tools to handle demand forecasting and staff scheduling. Distribution over experimental software. Point-of-sale software providers across Southeast Asia are competing to control the merchant checkout counter. StoreHub contends with regional competitors including Singapore-based Qashier and Oddle, Indonesia's iSeller, and global platforms such as Block and Lightspeed. While blockchain and Web3 developers have spent years running digital loyalty pilots, most failed to scale because they required separate consumer onboarding or complicated checkout steps. Tying reward issuance directly to StoreHub's existing register hardware removes friction for both shop staff and shoppers during peak business hours. The joint venture partners plan to roll out their first joint payment and rewards features in select Southeast Asian markets before expanding across StoreHub's regional store network.
