What each side expects
Lightspeed and Moneybird do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.
Moneybird
Moneybird wants to know, per invoice line, which ledger account and which VAT rate it falls under. A contact has to exist before an invoice can hang off it, and an invoice only counts as paid once a payment is linked to it.

Common questions
Can you connect Lightspeed to Moneybird?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Lightspeed and Moneybird, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Which VAT rate do my sales get in Moneybird?
The rate is set per line: 21%, 9% or 0%. Sales to Belgium and other EU countries get the rate of the destination country, ready for your OSS return.
Are commission and fees booked separately in Moneybird?
Yes. Commission, shipping and other fee types each land on their own ledger account in Moneybird, rather than in one lump sum, so your margin stays readable.
What happens on a refund or partial cancellation in Lightspeed?
It comes across, so Moneybird matches what was actually settled and you correct nothing by hand.
What does connecting Lightspeed and Moneybird 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 Lightspeed sync with Moneybird?
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 happens to a return or refund in Moneybird?
A return becomes a credit invoice in Moneybird for the amount actually refunded, not for the whole order, so nothing needs correcting afterwards.
What if Lightspeed or Moneybird 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.
