Common questions
Can you connect Exact Online to Lightspeed?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Exact Online 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.
What does connecting Exact Online 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 Exact Online 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.
What if Exact Online 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.
How do I connect Exact Online to Lightspeed?
You give Schakel access to Exact Online and Lightspeed once and pick what should travel. We set it up together with you, so no technical knowledge is needed, and after that it runs by itself.
Is my Exact Online data safe in this connector?
Your credentials are stored encrypted and we only process what is needed to update Lightspeed. We sell nothing on and comply with the GDPR.
