Keep Amazon and Lightspeed updated automatically.
Today you sign in to Seller Central, pull an order report and retype it. If you sell in several countries you repeat that per marketplace, each with its own VAT and its own shipping deadlines. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Amazon lands in Lightspeed by itself, in the shape Lightspeed expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

What travels across the link
Everything this connector moves between Amazon and Lightspeed, and how often.
-
Orders
to Lightspeed automaticallyEvery order becomes an order in Lightspeed with line items, matched on EAN or SKU, so you handle it all from Lightspeed without retyping.
-
Inventory
to Lightspeed automaticallyA sale updates stock in Lightspeed, so you never sell the same last unit on two channels at once.
What each side expects
Amazon and Lightspeed do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.
Amazon
Amazon thinks in orders per marketplace, with an ASIN or SKU per line and its own order number. The shipping deadline is hard, and the country sold into decides which VAT rate belongs to which line.
Lightspeed
A shop platform needs to point each line at a product, usually via SKU or barcode, and track stock per product.

Common questions
Can you connect Amazon to Lightspeed?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Amazon and Lightspeed, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
What does the connector match products on in Lightspeed?
On EAN barcode or SKU. Those have to line up on both sides; anything that does not match automatically you map once by hand, and it is remembered after that.
Does the connector touch my existing Lightspeed orders?
No. Schakel only creates new orders in Lightspeed and leaves your existing ones alone.
Do I still have to log into Amazon once the connector runs?
No. Once it runs, everything you now look up in the Amazon seller account arrives in Lightspeed by itself. You only open Amazon when you want to check something yourself.
What does connecting Amazon and Lightspeed cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does Amazon sync with Lightspeed?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
Does the connector also pick up Amazon returns and cancellations?
Yes. Besides new orders, Schakel also sees returns and cancellations on Amazon, so Lightspeed does not lag behind what actually sold.
What if Amazon or Lightspeed is briefly unavailable?
Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.
Missing something you need?
