Lightspeed X-Series & Shopify

Overview

The Lightspeed X-Series & Shopify blueprint includes everything you need to sync:

• Stock data from Shopify to Lightspeed X-Series

• Product data from Shopify to Lightspeed X-Series

• Sales order data from Lightspeed X-Series to Shopify

• Customer data from Lightspeed X-Series to Shopify

Installed process flows

Process flows are built to implement powerful data flows between connector instances in an intuitive, visual way - this is where we define if, when, what, and how data is synced. All process flows installed with this blueprint are shown below.

Shopify > Lightspeed Retail - Stock

Shopify > Lightspeed Retail - Products

Lightspeed > Shopify - Sales Orders

Lightspeed > Shopify - Customers

You'll find installed process flows in the manage process flows area of your dashboard. For product documentation please see Process flows.

Installed connectors

A connector is a generic integration of a third-party business system/application. Connector instances (configured by you as part of the blueprint install process, or later via your connectors page), are added to process flows via the connector shape. All connectors installed with this blueprint are shown below.

Lightspeed Retail X-Series (formerly Vend) is a retail POS, inventory management, and eCommerce solution.

Shopify is a cloud-based, fully hosted commerce platform which can be used to create and manage online stores.

You'll find installed connectors in the manage connectors area of your dashboard. For product documentation please see Connectors & instances.

Installed scripts

Custom scripts are implemented via the script shape, and are typically used when source data needs to be manipulated beyond the capabilities that standard transform functions provide. All scripts installed with this blueprint are shown below.

Script title	Summary
Check if customer exists in Shopify	Checks if customers already exist in Shopify.
Convert Order ID to Metadata	Converts order id to metadata.
Set Inventory ID	Sets inventory ID to metadata.
Set Product ID	Sets product ID to metadata.
Set Shopify Customer ID	Sets customer ID to metadata.

You'll find installed scripts in the scripts area of your dashboard. For product documentation please see Custom scripting.

Installed cross-reference lookups

Cross-reference lookups are used for cases where some values are commonly known by other terms. If source data includes values that always need to be changed to an alternative term, a cross-reference lookup can be used to transform required data fields (via the map shape). All cross-reference lookups installed with this blueprint are shown below.

Cross-reference lookup name	Cross-reference lookup description
-	-

You'll find installed cross-reference lookups in the cross-reference lookups area of your dashboard. For product documentation please see Cross-reference lookups.

Installed caches

Caches are specified in the add to cache shape and used to store data (temporarily) at given points in a process flow. This means that data from a previous point in time can be referenced later in the same process flow or by other process flows, via a load from cache shape. All caches installed with this blueprint are shown below.

Cache name	Cache type
Sales Cache	Flow run
Stock Cache	Flow run

You'll find installed caches in the data caches area of your dashboard. For product documentation please see Cache shapes.

Installed data pools

Data pools are used by the de-dupe shape in process flows. They store unique key field values that have passed through the shape so subsequent records can be checked and matched for duplication. All data pools installed with this blueprint are shown below.

Data pool name	Unique key	Applicable process flows
