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 Go to **Menus** and open the menu linked to this store. At the bottom of the menu you'll see **Connected to Lightspeed** with the time of the last sync and the menu version, a **View in POS** link that opens the menu in the Lightspeed back office, and a **Sync** button. Click **Sync**. A progress bar reports each stage (fetching the Lightspeed menu, pre-uploading images, updating the menu) and finishes with a summary of how many categories, products and modifiers were inserted, updated and deleted. The **Connected to Lightspeed** bar only appears when the store's POS provider is Lightspeed and the menu is linked to a Lightspeed menu. 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**. Schedule menu syncs for quiet hours — a sync rewrites menu content, and customers browsing mid-sync may briefly see items appear or disappear. ## What Gets Imported | Data | Imported | | ------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | Categories (menu entry groups) | Yes | | Products, with name, price and SKU (used as the storekit PLU) | Yes | | Descriptions | Yes — HTML is stripped (can be disabled) | | Images | Yes, re-hosted by storekit (can be disabled) | | Translations for every Lightspeed locale | Yes | | Tax rates | Yes | | Allergen codes and the alcohol flag, as item tags | Yes | | Production instructions, as modifier groups | Yes | | Sub-items and menu deals, as modifiers | Yes | | Tables, floor plan | No — see [Dine-in](/docs/guides/integrations/pos/lightspeed/dine-in) | 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](/docs/guides/menu/course-assignments). * **Item availability is not set by the menu sync** — stock and sold-out state arrive separately, see [Stock & Availability](/docs/guides/integrations/pos/lightspeed/stock-and-availability). ## Next Steps How synced items reach Lightspeed on an order Fix sync failures and mapping problems ## Related topics - [Lightspeed Troubleshooting](/docs/guides/integrations/pos/lightspeed/troubleshooting.md) - [Lightspeed K-Series](/docs/guides/integrations/pos/lightspeed/overview.md) - [POS Menu Sync](/docs/guides/menu/pos-menu-sync.md) - [Toast Menu Sync](/docs/guides/integrations/pos/toast/menu-sync.md) - [Connecting Lightspeed](/docs/guides/integrations/pos/lightspeed/connect.md)
