Connect lightspeed and Dotdigital

Connecting Lightspeed and Dotdigital for a company could enable the transfer of sales and customer data from the point-of-sale system to the marketing automation platform. This could support targeted communications and more informed marketing campaigns by allowing customer interactions and purchase histories to inform marketing strategies and audience segmentation.

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

Why connect lightspeed and Dotdigital?

A company that uses both Lightspeed and Dotdigital could benefit from connecting these systems to enable data exchange between their retail operations and marketing activities. Without such a connection, staff may need to manually enter data into both platforms, increasing the risk of errors and consuming valuable time. This manual duplication can lead to records falling out of sync, where, for example, customer information in one system is outdated compared to the other. As a result, marketing campaigns could be based on inaccurate or incomplete data, leading to missed opportunities or poorly targeted communications. If Lightspeed and Dotdigital were connected, it could become possible to automate the transfer of customer contact details, purchase history, and marketing preferences from the point of sale environment to the marketing platform. This could help ensure that marketing lists are always current and reflect recent customer interactions. Additionally, data such as campaign engagement metrics could be shared back to inform retail staff or management about the effectiveness of different marketing efforts. The specific types of data that can be exchanged would depend on what each system makes available through its API, and this is determined for each situation individually.

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 lightspeed and Dotdigital 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.
