If you use Lightspeed to manage in-store sales and Shopify for your online store, connecting the two helps you run everything from one place. When these systems are synced, your products, inventory, and orders stay consistent, no more manual updates or double data entry.
With CloudQix, you can integrate Lightspeed and Shopify in just a few minutes with a prebuilt connector, without writing a single line of code. Here’s how to set it up.
Step 1: Sign In and Select Apps
- Start by logging in to your CloudQix dashboard.
- In the sidebar, select “Connectors” and click “Add New Connector.” Give your connector a name and choose a category that fits your workflow.
- Select Lightspeed and Shopify, then sign in to both accounts to authorize CloudQix.
Make sure your Lightspeed account has admin permissions and your Shopify account can manage products and orders.
Step 2: Choose Your Integration Flow
Decide how you want your data to move between Lightspeed and Shopify.
You can:
- Sync from Lightspeed to Shopify – push in-store products and inventory to your online store.
- Sync from Shopify to Lightspeed – import online products and customers to your POS system.
- Enable two-way sync – so updates in one system appear in the other automatically.
CloudQix gives you full control over what data moves and how often it syncs, so your information always stays up to date.
Step 3: Map Your Data
Next, map the fields between Lightspeed and Shopify so CloudQix knows how to sync them.
For example:
- Product name → Title
- SKU → Variant SKU
- Inventory → Stock quantity
- Customer name → First and last name
- Order ID → Order number
You can customize which data types sync each way, or skip fields that you don’t need.
Step 4: Configure Your Settings
Once your data mapping is complete, fine-tune how the integration runs.
- Choose your sync direction (one-way or two-way).
- Select how often CloudQix should sync your data (e.g., instant, hourly, daily).
- Set notifications for failed syncs or data mismatches.
- Review tax and pricing rules to make sure both platforms align.
If you have multiple retail locations, you can also assign which Lightspeed outlets feed into your Shopify inventory.
Step 5: Test and Activate
- Before going live, CloudQix lets you run a quick test to make sure everything connects correctly.
- Run a sample sync with a few products or orders. Once you confirm that data moves as expected, click Activate Connector to start the integration.
From now on, CloudQix will automatically keep your Lightspeed and Shopify data synchronized in the background.
