Basis Of Presentation And Consolidation [Abstract]
Basis of presentation and consolidation	Basis of presentation and consolidation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and were approved for issue by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company on May 16, 2024. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for our lease liabilities which are measured at present value and certain financial assets and liabilities, which have been measured at fair value as described below. The consolidated financial statements provide comparative information in respect of the previous year. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lightspeed and its wholly-owned subsidiaries including, but not limited to: Lightspeed Netherlands B.V, Lightspeed Payments USA Inc., Kounta Pty Ltd, Lightspeed Commerce USA Inc., Upserve, Inc., Vend Limited, Lightspeed NuORDER Inc. and Ecwid, Inc. (collectively, the "subsidiaries"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of all subsidiaries, including those of new subsidiaries of Lightspeed from the reporting period starting on their acquisition or incorporation date, are prepared for the same reporting period as Lightspeed using Lightspeed’s accounting policies. All subsidiaries are fully consolidated until the date that Lightspeed’s control ceases.
