How long does it take to connect Lightspeed Retail to Xero?

Most Lightspeed Retail to Xero integrations are completed within 2 weeks. We start with a discovery session to understand your specific workflow, then build and test the integration. Complex setups with custom business logic may take up to 4-8 weeks.

Is the sync between Lightspeed Retail and Xero real-time?

Yes, we typically use API polling for near-real-time sync. Changes in Lightspeed Retail are reflected in Xero within seconds. For high-volume scenarios, we can implement queuing to handle peak loads without data loss.

What happens if one system is temporarily unavailable?

Our integrations include retry logic and error queuing. If Xero is temporarily down, changes are queued and replayed once the system recovers. You'll receive alerts for any sync failures that need attention. Our safeguards are designed to prevent data loss.

Can you map custom fields between Lightspeed Retail and Xero?

Absolutely. Custom field mapping is a core part of every integration we build. Whether it's custom properties in Lightspeed Retail or user-defined fields in Xero, we map them precisely to your requirements. We can also transform data formats, apply business rules, and handle conditional mappings.
