Connect katana and Lightspeed POS

Connecting Katana and Lightspeed POS for a company could allow inventory and sales data to be shared between the two systems. This could support more accurate stock management, coordinated order fulfillment, and improved visibility into sales performance. Data flows between the systems could reduce manual entry and help ensure that business records remain consistent across both platforms.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between katana and Lightspeed POS around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect katana and Lightspeed POS?

A company operating both Katana and Lightspeed POS could consider connecting these systems to allow for more efficient and accurate business processes. Without such a connection, staff may need to enter the same product, inventory, or sales data into both platforms separately. This manual duplication can increase the risk of errors and lead to records in each system drifting apart over time. As a result, managers might make decisions based on outdated or inconsistent information, which could negatively affect inventory planning, purchasing, and customer service. If a connection were established, it could enable the exchange of key data such as inventory levels, product details, and sales transactions. For example, sales made in Lightspeed POS could update stock availability in Katana, supporting more accurate production planning and inventory control. Similarly, changes to product information in one system could be reflected in the other, reducing the administrative burden and helping ensure consistency across the business. The specific data that can be exchanged depends on what each system makes available through its API, and the details must be determined for each particular situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what katana and Lightspeed POS make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
