Lightspeed offers an API you can use to read orders, products, and customers. In your flow you use it to answer order status questions, check stock, or recognize a customer by phone number. In hospitality, the combination with bookings and confirmations is used most.
What this automates for you
- Order status and pickup notifications
- Check stock before you promise anything
- Recognize the customer by phone number
- Booking and confirmation flows for hospitality
How to set up the integration

- 2Set the key as a header in the HTTP block.
- 3Use a GET to fetch the order or the product you need.
- 4Use Make or Zapier if you'd rather not build a direct API integration.

View →Frequently asked questions
Is this integration a ready-made app, or do I build it myself?
You build it yourself in the HTTP block: fill in the URL, headers, and fields. That usually takes about fifteen minutes. The upside is that you decide exactly which data gets exchanged.
Do integrations cost extra?
No. HTTP and API integrations are part of the €50 per month subscription, no matter how many systems you connect.
What if Lightspeed has no suitable API endpoint?
Then you use Make, Zapier, or n8n as a middle layer. Your flow talks to a single webhook, and the middle layer talks to everything else.
