Lightspeed Web Orders Module

By completing the steps below you will allow the E-Commerce Configuration to push order information to your Lightspeed account.

Key Notes:

Some of these steps MIGHT have been performed for you if you were migrated from the legacy E-Commerce.
This feature will only work with EVO. The nxt version is not supported.

To begin, browse to Settings > Lightspeed from the main navigation bar

Step 1 - Enter Your Lightspeed Credentials

Go down to Web Orders Module and check the box. Once enabled, create a Lightspeed Username & Lightspeed Password. This username/password does not have to match that which is used to log in to Lightspeed. In fact, it is preferred that a new, totally unique username and password be created for this step.

Step 2 - Server Connection

Next, jump over to your actual Lightspeed account and get into your “Server Connection”. The server connection settings can be found in System > Preferences > Location > Web Orders. From this screen, you will specify the URL that EVO should communicate with, the required credentials and the communication interval.

Do not set the Enabled flag until all of the following steps have been completed:

URL

The URL will be https://xyz.app.powersportsupport.com/LightSpeed (this is an example)

Check your E-Commerce Configuration application URL.

If it is “ari-9999.app” then the URL that you will use for this is https://ari-999.app.powersportsupport.com/LightSpeed

User

Enter the Lightspeed Username that was created in the previous step when configuring the Lightspeed settings within your Dashboard.

Password

Enter the Lightspeed Password that was created in the previous step when configuring the Lightspeed settings within your Dashboard.

Content-Type

Select XML from the dropdown list.

Request Interval

You may choose any interval you like.

Retry Interval

Leave this at the default settings.

Machine Address

This setting is read-only but is not set by default. To set this value click the icon to the right of the field. This is the EVO server mac address and is used as a security feature in the communication process.

After populating the settings click the "Test Connection" button. This will return a dialog that indicates success or failure in establishing a connection to the server. The corresponding API endpoint will need to be configured to respond to this request.

Once communication is successful set the "Enabled" flag and save the connection settings.

Step 3 - Payment Configuration

To correctly process web orders in Evolution appropriate methods of payment will need to be configured. The reason for this is to be able to account for the revenue in the web order process but not require EVO to actually process payments for these orders as this occurs on the website.

The "Web Commerce Method of Payments" are found under "Parts > Lists > Web Commerce Methods of Payment." They will map the methods of payment defined in the API: VISA, MASTERCARD, DISCOVER, AMEX, PAYPAL, OTHER, etc. Select the appropriate payment option from the listed options for each payment type.
