Details of Our Lightspeed Integration

• All products can be imported to your website catalogue either by browsing Lightspeed product Tags, or by matching on product code. 
• Our product code is matched against Lightspeed SKU (or handle if there is no SKU). You can choose which you prefer if you like. 
• Once products are imported, the quantities and pricing will be updated on a regular basis, if those options are selected. 
• Other product details are not overwritten, unless you select a specific option. 
• Product images of new products will be downloaded from Lightspeed within a hour of product creation, but they are never overridden. 
• All sales information from the website will be submitted to Lightspeed, including client data, using the configurable parameters for payment types and register names. 
• Any new products can be added to the shopping cart, and these will automatically add to your Lightspeed inventory, if any sale occurs.
• All client data from Lightspeed will be automatically imported into the Website World members list, so you can run email campaigns. After the initial sync of data from Lightspeed, only new records are added. We do not overwrite data in either database. 
• New clients will be created in Lightspeed on successful sale for an unlinked client.

Disclaimer

Please note that integrating 2 different systems, each running their own development cycles can lead to unforeseen data syncronisation issues. Therefore, all support related to setting up your Vend account, and/or ongoing support for any issues with the API and it's related data, will be chargeable. Bugs will be looked at for free. But generally, confusion around expectations of a data syncronisation, is more of a consultancy job.
