Lightspeed POS Account Integration


Overview

Lightspeed POS is a cloud-based point-of-sale (POS) system for retail businesses. It offers a suite of features to manage sales, inventory, customer relationships, and reporting. Lightspeed POS allows you to process transactions, track inventory, manage staff, and analyze sales data in real time.

In this article, you will learn how to integrate Lightspeed POS with Sellercloud. This setup will allow you to post products, manage listings, and enable automatic updates.

The WinService_LightspeedPOSServices must be enabled for this workflow. Open a ticket with Sellercloud Support to ensure the service is installed on your server.

Integrate Lightspeed POS

You can integrate Lightspeed POS into Sellercloud via API using an Authentication Token.

Lightspeed orders are created as Local Store upon import. If you have any other Local Store channel configuration in your primary company, it’s best to Create a New Company in Sellercloud where you will download Lightspeed orders separately.

To set up and enable the integration:

  1. First, you must Create an API Client at Lightspeed.
  2. Next, in Sellercloud, go to your Company Settings. 
  3. Click Toolbox and select Lightspeed POS > General Settings.
  4. Click Edit.
  5. Enter your Lightspeed Site ID in the AccountID field.
  6. Enter the Redirect URI – https://XX.cwa.sellercloud.com/LightspeedPOSOpenAuth.aspx (where XX is your Server ID).

    For TF servers, the URI should end with .us instead of .com and instead of your server ID, make sure to write your team name: https://team.ws.sellercloud.us/LightspeedPOSOpenAuth/
  7. Fill in the Lightspeed Register ID and Lightspeed Employee ID fields.
  8. Click Actions and select Fetch Token. You will have to log in to Lightspeed to authenticate your account, and your authentication token will be entered into the Auth Token field.
  9. Check Enable Order Download and Enable Inventory Upload. Optionally, enable the other settings as well. Check the next section of this article for a description of each setting.
  10. Check Lightspeed POS Enabled.
  11. Click Save.
