Granting Access to Lightspeed
How to grant read-only access to your Lightspeed inventory
- Log in to BrandSlice
- Select the menu option Store Locations
- Check the box in front of the store location you will be connecting and then press the Edit button
- Scroll down to the bottom of the screen to the Social Account Access section
- Press the Grant Lightspeed Access button in this section
- Log in to Lightspeed using your Lightspeed credentials
- The next dialog will show you that BrandSlice is requesting read-only access to View Items and Inventory. This will allow us to download your daily inventory from your Lightspeed Retail data.
- Press the Authorize Application button to complete this step. You will then be returned back to the BrandSlice screen and the LightSpeed Access bar should be green indicating that you successfully completed this step.
Last Step: Retrieve Your Store Account ID
The above step provided us with the keys to get into your car (read-only access to your inventory) but we also need to be able to identify your car in the parking lot (account id uniquely identifies your store amongst all LightSpeed stores).
- Log in to LightSpeed Retail POS
- Select the dropdown arrow that shows up just underneath the store name
- Copy the Account ID found here and email that to your contact at BrandSlice.
