Lightspeed Legacy Stores
ShippingEasy's original integration with Lightspeed used an older version of Lightspeeds software. In February 2017, we updated our integration using Lightspeed's new software.
If you integrated Lightspeed with ShippingEasy before we launched our new integration, your store will display in ShippingEasy as Ecwid (Legacy).

ShippingEasy's Lightspeed integration supports the following features and order data fields:
Orders must have a payment status in Lightspeed of Queued/Awaiting Payment or Accepted/Paid as well as a fulfillment status of New, Awaiting Processing, or Processing to be synced to ShippingEasy.
Lightspeed order statuses map to ShippingEasy in the following way:
Note
Because payment status names in Lightspeed tend to vary depending on the account, the statuses Queued/Awaiting Payment and Accepted/Paid can be used interchangeably.
Order updates
-
If an order has been updated after syncing in ShippingEasy, some changes will be updated to ShippingEasy. For a list of what changes will update, see our article Edit Orders in Store - Changes that Update to ShippingEasy | FAQs.
Splitting Orders
Lightspeed does not recognize a partially shipped fulfillment status. If you split an Lightspeed order in ShippingEasy and ship part of the order, ShippingEasy will update the order in Lightspeed with the tracking number.
On each subsequent shipment of the split order, ShippingEasy will replace the tracking number in Lightspeed with the tracking number of the most recent shipment. All of the tracking numbers for the split order will not be updated to Lightspeed.
Email Notifications
Lightspeed automatically sends shipment confirmation emails to your customer once their order has been shipped. You can opt to have ShippingEasy send your customers shipment notification emails.
If you choose to send shipment notification emails from ShippingEasy, we recommend reviewing your customer email notification settings in Lightspeed to avoid duplicate emails.
