Lightspeed Amazon Integration
Nventory syncs products and inventory between Lightspeed POS locations and Amazon in real time. Multi-location stock aggregates into one Amazon quantity feed to prevent overselling.
Sync Matrix
4 data entities in the sync matrix — 1 bidirectional, 3 one-way. Tap any row for details.
Good to Know
Platform restrictions outside any integration tool's control
Customer databases and loyalty program data cannot be synced between POS and marketplace platforms through Nventory. Amazon also restricts sharing buyer contact details with sellers.
Gift cards and store credit balances are platform-specific and cannot be synced between POS and ecommerce systems.
Creating FBA shipping plans and managing inbound inventory requires Amazon's Send to Amazon workflow. Nventory reads FBA levels but does not create shipments.
PPC campaigns are managed through Amazon Ads Console. Nventory handles inventory and order sync but does not control advertising budgets or placements.
Lightspeed Restaurant uses an ingredient-based inventory model. Only Lightspeed Retail (R-Series and X-Series) is supported for Amazon inventory sync.
Things to Consider
Platform-specific details and how they affect this integration.
When multiple Lightspeed locations contribute stock to Amazon, the aggregated quantity must account for items reserved for walk-in customers, items in transit between stores, and items on hold for other channels. Naive summation leads to overselling.
Nventory calculates Amazon available quantity as the sum of unreserved stock across participating locations minus per-store walk-in buffers. Stock in transit or on hold is excluded from the feed until it arrives and is received.
Who Uses Lightspeed Amazon Integration
Common scenarios for connecting Lightspeed and Amazon.
How It Works
Nventory sits between your platforms and keeps everything in sync.
Connect Lightspeed and Amazon
Authenticate your Lightspeed Retail and Amazon Seller Central accounts in Nventory. The system imports catalogs from both for product matching.
Map Products and Locations
Match Lightspeed products to Amazon ASINs by SKU, UPC, or EAN. Define which Lightspeed locations contribute inventory to Amazon listings.
Configure Aggregated Inventory Feed
Set rules for how Nventory calculates the Amazon quantity feed. Choose to sum all locations, exclude specific stores, or apply per-location buffers.
Enable FBM Order Routing
Turn on proximity-based routing so Amazon FBM orders are assigned to the optimal Lightspeed location. Staff see the order in their POS queue for fulfillment.
Monitor and Optimize
Track fulfillment speed by location, sync accuracy, and Amazon seller metrics through Nventory's dashboard. Adjust routing and allocation rules based on performance data.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Nventory lets you select which Lightspeed locations contribute to the Amazon quantity feed. You can exclude locations with low stock, high walk-in traffic, or operational constraints.
Nventory evaluates the customer's shipping address and routes the order to the closest Lightspeed location with stock. This reduces transit time, helping you meet or beat Amazon's expected delivery dates.
Nventory recalculates the aggregated Amazon quantity in real time. As long as at least one location has stock, the Amazon listing stays active with the correct total available quantity.
Nventory does not replace Amazon's seller reporting, but it surfaces key fulfillment metrics like on-time ship rate and cancellation rate within its dashboard so you can correlate them with sync performance.
Nventory connects to every Lightspeed retail location and warehouse you designate, aggregating unreserved stock into a single Amazon FBM quantity feed. Each location maintains its own independent count on the Lightspeed iPad register, and when staff process a barcode-scanned sale or manual adjustment at any store, Nventory recalculates the Amazon feed within seconds so your marketplace listing always reflects true combined availability.
Yes. Every transaction processed on a Lightspeed iPad register, including barcode-scanned checkouts, returns at the counter, and back-office stock adjustments, triggers Nventory to push an updated quantity to Amazon's Inventory Feed API. Even when a Lightspeed register operates in offline mode during a connectivity drop, Nventory queues the changes and flushes them to Amazon the moment the device reconnects.
Amazon requires valid UPC, EAN, or GTIN barcodes for most categories — check that your Lightspeed product records have these fields populated and formatted correctly, since missing or invalid barcodes trigger immediate listing rejections. If you sell branded products, verify your Amazon Brand Registry enrollment, as Amazon blocks listings from non-authorized sellers for many registered brands. Product detail page conflicts also cause rejections when your Lightspeed data (title, images, bullet points) contradicts the existing Amazon catalog page for that ASIN, so review Nventory's error log for specific ASIN-level conflict messages.
