Lightspeed Product Sync

Overview

This article describes how product data is retrieved from Lightspeed and mapped to Ramp SKUs.

Sync Behaviour

Lightspeed has three product types: Standard, Variant, and Composite.

Standard products sync as a single SKU, as normal.
Variant products are split into individual SKUs. Each variant becomes its own SKU, and SKUs are not linked to each other.
Composite products are not supported.

Variant Conversion

Each variant is converted into its own SKU. SKUs are not linked to each other.

For example, this would be how a variant product is synced into Ramp.

In Shopify:

Product: Shirt
Variants: Size + Colour

In Ramp:

Shirt | Small / Black
Shirt | Small / White
Shirt | Medium / Black
Etc...

Sync Filtering

Non-Inventoried Products

By default, products that are not set up to track inventory in Lightspeed will not sync.

Deleted Products

By default, deleted products in Lightspeed will not sync.

Active/Inactive Products

All active and inactive products in Lightspeed will sync.

Default Data Mapping

Lightspeed Property	Ramp Property	Notes
id	External Reference
variant_name	Item Code	Lightspeed's own combined product + variant name (e.g. "Shirt - Small / Black")
	Barcode number	This is a Ramp generated barcode, unless the Shopify item uses a GS1 barcode
-	Company Prefix	Company prefix to be used with the barcode
-	Item reference	Ramp-generated, used with the barcode
variant_name	Name	Same source field as Item Code
sku	Sku Number
description	Description	Truncated to 1000 characters if longer
price_including_tax	Unit Cost

Note: additional fields (e.g. Product Category, Brand, Type) can be mapped into a SKU's extended properties, but which fields are mapped is configured for each specific integration insatnce - it isn't a fixed default for every account.
