Common questions
Can you connect Lightspeed to Afosto?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Lightspeed and Afosto, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Does Afosto need a complete address, and what if it is wrong?
Afosto needs a full delivery address to make a label. If the country and postcode do not match up, that shipment is held and shows in the log, rather than a wrong label coming out.
Can I choose the carrier in Afosto myself?
Yes. Which carrier and shipping method Afosto uses you set there; Schakel only hands the shipment over complete.
What happens on a refund or partial cancellation in Lightspeed?
It comes across, so Afosto matches what was actually settled and you correct nothing by hand.
What does connecting Lightspeed and Afosto 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 Afosto?
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 Afosto 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 Afosto?
You give Schakel access to Lightspeed and Afosto 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.

Lightspeed and Afosto is one of many. Pick two systems and see what travels between them.
