Data mapping

What syncs between Lightspeed and NetSuite

In8Sync DirectConnect handles POS-specific concepts — tenders, end-of-day reconciliation, and supplier purchase orders — for both Lightspeed R-Series (Retail) and K-Series (Restaurant).

Sales Orders & Receipts→ NetSuite

Lightspeed completed sales post to NetSuite as Sales Orders or Cash Sales in real time — line items, discounts, tax, and tender type all mapped precisely to your NetSuite instance.

Customers→ NetSuite

Lightspeed customer profiles sync to NetSuite Customer records — contact details, loyalty tier, and purchase history available in NetSuite without manual data entry.

Products & Variants↔ Both

Lightspeed items and matrix variants (size, color) stay aligned with NetSuite inventory items — names, SKUs, and attributes sync bidirectionally across all retail locations.

Inventory AdjustmentsLightspeed

Stock adjustments and transfers in NetSuite push to Lightspeed location inventory in real time — accurate on-hand quantities across all retail outlets and warehouses.

Purchase Orders↔ Both

Purchase orders created in NetSuite sync to Lightspeed for receiving — when stock arrives and is received in Lightspeed, inventory updates flow back to NetSuite automatically.

Supplier Invoices→ NetSuite

Supplier invoices from Lightspeed purchasing post to NetSuite as Vendor Bills — payable details, line items, and tax are mapped to the correct NetSuite vendor records.

Daily Sales Summary→ NetSuite

End-of-day totals post to NetSuite as a consolidated Cash Sale or journal entry — department-level breakdowns by category, location, and tender type included for clean GL reconciliation.

Payments & Tenders→ NetSuite

Each tender type — cash, credit card, gift card, split tender — posts to the configured NetSuite GL account, enabling accurate end-of-day cash drawer and payment processor reconciliation.

Why In8Sync DirectConnect

Built differently

In8Sync DirectConnect understands Lightspeed-specific constructs — tenders, end-of-day close, K-Series table service, and R-Series retail purchasing — and maps them to the correct NetSuite transaction types.

End-of-day reconciliation automated

Daily sales summaries and tender breakdowns post to NetSuite automatically at close of business — no manual export from Lightspeed, no copy-paste into the ERP.

No iPaaS, no middleware

In8Sync DirectConnect is a SuiteApp that installs directly inside your NetSuite account — no separate integration platform, no per-event pricing, no third-party server in the data path.

FAQ

Common questions

Does In8Sync DirectConnect support both Lightspeed R-Series (Retail) and K-Series (Restaurant)?

Yes. In8Sync DirectConnect supports both R-Series retail POS and K-Series restaurant POS. Retail-specific concepts (purchase orders, matrix variants) and restaurant-specific concepts (table service, covers) are each mapped appropriately.

How are split tenders and multiple payment methods handled?

Each tender type in a split-payment transaction posts to its own configured NetSuite GL account — cash, card, gift card, and other tender types are broken out for accurate end-of-day reconciliation.

Can In8Sync DirectConnect handle multiple Lightspeed retail locations?

Yes. Each Lightspeed location maps to a NetSuite location or subsidiary. Inventory adjustments and sales post to the correct NetSuite entity based on the originating Lightspeed location.

Does In8Sync DirectConnect require middleware or an iPaaS subscription?

No. In8Sync DirectConnect is a SuiteApp installed directly inside your NetSuite account — no external platform, no per-event fee, no third-party server in the data path.

How does the purchase order sync work for supplier replenishment?

Purchase orders created in NetSuite sync to Lightspeed for in-store receiving. When stock is received and confirmed in Lightspeed, inventory levels update back to NetSuite automatically — no double entry required.
