Common questions
Can you connect Lightspeed to Shopware?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Lightspeed and Shopware, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
What does the connector match products on in Shopware?
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 Shopware orders?
No. Schakel only creates new orders in Shopware and leaves your existing ones alone.
What happens on a refund or partial cancellation in Lightspeed?
It comes across, so Shopware matches what was actually settled and you correct nothing by hand.
What does connecting Lightspeed and Shopware 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 Shopware?
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 Lightspeed or Shopware 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 Lightspeed to Shopware?
You give Schakel access to Lightspeed and Shopware 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.
