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