Lightspeed Retail

Ecommerce

Built when you ask for it

Sync Lightspeed Retail sale, item, customer, and register data into your warehouse. Ingest builds this connector the first time a customer asks for it, then keeps the tables current in a data warehouse you own, on the schedule you choose.

The Lightspeed Retail connector syncs your point-of-sale data into analytics-ready tables in your data warehouse. Pull sales, items, customers, and registers from the Lightspeed Retail API, with Ingest handling auth, pagination, and retries so the tables stay current.

What you would get

Each of these arrives as its own table, kept current on the schedule you choose:

  • Sales
  • Items
  • Customers
  • Registers

How it gets built

  1. Choose Lightspeed Retail when you set up a pipeline, with the warehouse it goes to and a schedule.
  2. Ingest reads Lightspeed Retail's documentation, and you choose the tables you want.
  3. Ingest builds the connector and tests it against Lightspeed Retail itself.
  4. A person at Ingest reviews and publishes it, and your pipeline starts on its own.

What you will need

OAuth 2.0. Register an application via Lightspeed's developer registration form to get a client ID/secret, then complete the authorization-code flow.

You enter it once, in a form in Ingest, and it is kept in a secret store set aside for your organization.

Questions

Does Ingest have a Lightspeed Retail connector?
Not as a finished connector yet. Ingest builds it from Lightspeed Retail's own documentation the first time a customer asks, tests it against the real service, and lists it once it passes.
Which warehouses can Lightspeed Retail data go to?
Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL and Snowflake, in an account you own.
Do I need to write code?
No. Ingest builds, runs and maintains the connector. Someone with access to your warehouse connects it once, following a short guide.

Lightspeed Retail API documentation: https://developers.lightspeedhq.com/retail/

Setting up the destination is its own short guide, one per warehouse or lake: Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL, Snowflake.

Other sources Ingest connects for ecommerce teams: Shopify, Etsy, Faire, Walmart Marketplace, Walmart Connect, Mercado Libre.
