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
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.
You'll find installed process flows in the manage process flows area of your dashboard. For product documentation please see Process flows.
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.
You'll find installed connectors in the manage connectors area of your dashboard. For product documentation please see Connectors & instances.
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 |
Set Inventory ID | Sets |
Set Product ID | Sets |
Set Shopify Customer ID | Sets |
You'll find installed scripts in the scripts area of your dashboard. For product documentation please see Custom scripting.
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.
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.
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 |
|---|---|---|
