Lightspeed Menu Sync

storekit builds your storekit menu from a menu you’ve published in Lightspeed. Lightspeed stays the source of truth: every sync replaces the storekit menu content with what Lightspeed returns.

​

Choose the Lightspeed Menu

Go to Stores → your store → Settings → Integrations → Lightspeed K-Series and pick the menu in Lightspeed Menu, then click Save. The dropdown lists the menus available on the connected business location; No menu means nothing is linked yet and syncing won’t work.

​

Run a Sync

To sync every Lightspeed menu on the account at once, click Sync all menus on the Menus page.

​

Scheduled Syncs

To re-sync automatically, go to Stores → your store → Settings → Automations → Sync Schedules and click Add sync schedule. Give it a Name, set Kind to Menu, and pick a Schedule (or enter a Custom cron expression). The page shows the next run time for each schedule. Click Save.

​

What Gets Imported

Production instructions become a free (zero-price) modifier group named after the Lightspeed production instruction group. Groups that permit multiple selections import as multi-select; the rest allow one choice.

​

Sync Options

All of these live on Stores → your store → Settings → Integrations → Lightspeed K-Series:

• Don’t update menu images — keeps images already on storekit items instead of overwriting them from Lightspeed. New items import with no image.
• Don’t update menu description — keeps descriptions and translations already in storekit. New items import with no description.
• Import Sub-screens as categories — flattens Lightspeed sub-screens into their own storekit categories. With it off, items inside a sub-screen are imported into the parent category.
• Specify account profile when syncing menu — loads the menu using a specific Lightspeed account profile, so online prices come from that profile rather than the default. Choose No profile to use the default pricing.
• Language — which Lightspeed locale storekit reads names and descriptions from. If the item has no text for that locale, storekit falls back to en.

​

Limitations

• Items with customised pricing are skipped. Lightspeed items whose pricing strategy makes the price positive, negative or a percentage of the total can’t be represented as a fixed price, so they’re left out of the import.
• The integration menu entry group is skipped — it’s where the storekit delivery, discount and service-charge products live, and they shouldn’t appear on your customer-facing menu.
• A sync mirrors Lightspeed. Categories, products and modifiers that are no longer in the Lightspeed menu are removed from the storekit menu, so manual additions in storekit don’t survive a sync (apart from images and descriptions preserved by the two options above).
• No lightweight/price-only sync, no category availability hours, and no portions or sizes. Courses are set in storekit, not imported — see course assignments.
• Item availability is not set by the menu sync — stock and sold-out state arrive separately, see Stock & Availability.
