Works across your stack
What is Lightspeed R-Series × Shopify integration?
SKU IQ is a no-code connection layer between your existing Lightspeed R-Series POS and Shopify eCommerce. It is not a new POS, an ERP, or an inventory suite. Lightspeed R-Series stays the POS, Shopify eCommerce stays the ecommerce channel, and nothing migrates off either system.
Whenever one platform sells something, the other will update the corresponding stock, keeping inventory numbers unified and up to date. Product attribute sync of fields like titles, descriptions, prices, variants, and SKUs can also be turned on either uni- or bi-directionally.
Unify both platforms and use SKU IQ to leverage the best they have to offer.
Why retailers connect Lightspeed R-Series and Shopify
Stop overselling
A sale at the brick-and-mortar location or through Shopify eCommerce updates stock on the other platform, keeping inventory unified and up to date.
No double data entry
Stop entering the same product twice. Product attributes carry across when attribute sync is on, so supported fields like titles, descriptions, prices, variants, and SKUs can stay consistent across platforms.
Keep systems you already use
SKU IQ is not a new POS, an ERP, or an inventory suite. Lightspeed R-Series POS remains your POS, Shopify eCommerce remains your ecommerce channel, and SKU IQ sits between them to keep inventory unified and up to date across platforms.
Two ways to unify your inventory
Once Lightspeed R-Series POS and Shopify eCommerce are connected, you tell SKU IQ how products relate across both platforms.
Link existing items
SKU IQ reads all inventory in both the Lightspeed R-Series POS and Shopify eCommerce, checks for items matching by title/name, SKU, or UPC, and generates a Link Report of its findings so you can select what to link and how.
Products must have the same structure on both platforms to be linked. For example, a non-variable item in the POS will not match a variable set of items in the eCommerce platform.
Push a catalogue across
SKU IQ sends the chosen item data across, creates an identical copy on the destination platform, and establishes a syncing relationship between the new copy and the original so future stock changes are communicated automatically between both platforms.
What syncs between Lightspeed R-Series and Shopify
SKU IQ is built for single-location retailers syncing one Lightspeed R-Series POS to one Shopify eCommerce. Multi-location merchants should talk to SKU IQ about their setup before starting a trial.
What to expect during setup
No developers and no code required. If products already exist on both platforms, most retailers are syncing the same day.
SKU IQ keeps inventory unified and up to date without changing the systems you already use.

Connect both platforms
Authorize both platforms through the guided flow. Your catalogues load in, and nothing is altered until you confirm it.
Run a link report
SKU IQ reads all inventory in both platforms and matches items by title/name, SKU, or UPC. Confirm the matches you want, remembering that products must have the same structure on both platforms to link. A non-variable POS item will not match a variable set in the eCommerce platform.
Review unmatched items
Review unmatched items. Fix spelling differences or push them across, which creates an identical copy on the destination platform and establishes a syncing relationship with the original.
Validate Sync
Validate the first sync with one or two products.
Choose sync & go live
Set optional product attribute sync as uni- or bi-directional.
Migrating a large catalogue
During the trial, customers are limited to 50 product pushes. Bulk pushes are available for larger catalogues for a one-time fee; contact Support for a quote.
When you push a catalogue, SKU IQ sends the chosen item data across, creates an identical copy on the destination platform, and establishes a syncing relationship with the original so future stock changes are communicated between both platforms.
Before you connect
Your Shopify eCommerce plan must support inventory tracking and third-party apps. Your Lightspeed R-Series POS plan must also support inventory tracking and third-party apps.
