LightSpeed eCommerce Platform

Running a Lightspeed eCommerce store often means also selling through marketplaces, comparison shopping engines, and other sales channels, each with its own feed format and update cadence. Feedance connects to your Lightspeed eCommerce store to keep that catalog data flowing without manual exports or spreadsheet juggling.

• Centralize your catalog: pull product data straight from Lightspeed eCommerce into Feedance, then shape it for as many channels as you need from one place.
• Keep stock numbers honest: sync inventory levels so listings reflect what you actually have in stock, reducing overselling and cancelled orders.
• Track order activity: bring order data into Feedance to support reporting and channel-side order visibility.
• Cut manual work: skip repetitive CSV exports and manual re-uploads whenever your Lightspeed eCommerce catalog changes.

Feedance connects directly to your Lightspeed eCommerce store. You authorize the connection from your Feedance account, and Feedance then uses your store's API access to read product, inventory, and order data on a recurring basis, keeping your feeds and downstream channels up to date automatically.

Because the connection works directly against your store's own API, no manual file exports, FTP uploads, or spreadsheet imports are required once it's set up.

• API access requires a higher-tier plan: Lightspeed eCommerce's API is only available to stores on the Advanced or Professional subscription plans, so stores on lower-tier plans can't connect until they upgrade.
• Lightspeed enforces firm rate limits: each shop's API key is limited to 300 requests every 5 minutes, 3,000 per hour, and 12,000 per day, with a hard cap of 20 requests per second, so very large catalogs or frequent syncs need to be paced carefully.
• The platform has been rebranded more than once: originally launched as SEOshop, then renamed Lightspeed eCom, and now also labeled "Lightspeed eCom (C-Series)" in Lightspeed's own support materials, which is worth knowing so it isn't confused with Lightspeed Retail (R-Series/X-Series) or Ecwid when researching it.
• Products use a variant/option structure: pricing and stock are set at the variant level (for example, per size or color), so feed accuracy depends on variants being configured correctly in Lightspeed eCommerce.

1. Create or log in to your Feedance account.
2. Select Lightspeed eCommerce from the list of supported platforms.
3. Authorize Feedance to access your Lightspeed eCommerce store when prompted.
4. Let Feedance import your product, inventory, and order data for the initial sync.
5. Configure your feed settings and connect the channels you want to publish to.

Feedance syncs your Lightspeed eCommerce data automatically on a recurring schedule, so product, inventory, and order updates flow through without manual re-exports. Given Lightspeed eCommerce's own API rate limits, very large catalogs may sync in batches rather than instantly; checking the sync status in your Feedance dashboard is the most reliable way to confirm a specific update has gone through.

1. Write clear, keyword-relevant product titles and descriptions directly in Lightspeed eCommerce, since Feedance pulls this content as-is into your feeds.
2. Use high-quality product images and make sure every variant that needs its own listing has one attached.
3. Keep variant options, such as size and color, consistently structured across your catalog so feed attributes map cleanly.
4. Keep stock levels current in Lightspeed eCommerce to avoid overselling or listings being paused on channels that enforce inventory accuracy.
5. Review your Feedance sync logs periodically to catch and fix any products that fail to map correctly.
