Goal: Integrate a client’s Lightspeed Retail (R‑Series) POS with a new Shopify store. Current online sales are for workshops only (no shipping), with plans to expand to physical products.
What integration enables: Synchronization of key data between systems—commonly products, orders, invoices, and shipments—so inventory and sales stay aligned. POS = point of sale; Shopify = e‑commerce platform.
Solutions suggested:
SKUPlugs: 15‑day free trial; claims unlimited product and order sync; one user reports a positive, seamless experience.
Beehexa: Highlights syncing of sales orders, products, invoices, and shipments.
Octopus Bridge (24SevenCommerce): 14‑day free trial, no setup fees; claims unlimited product and order sync.
Open points: No confirmation from the original poster on which solution was chosen or implemented. Another participant asked for the outcome, indicating ongoing interest and no reported resolution.
Status: Unresolved. Practical next steps include trialing one of the suggested connectors and/or contacting Lightspeed support for official guidance and compatibility details.

I created a Shopify e-commerce site for a client who has an existing brick and mortar store. She uses Lightspeed R-Series for her POS and would like to integrate that into the new Shopify retail store. Currently customers can only purchase workshops online (so no shipping involved) but she’d like the option to scale to physical products eventually.
I’ve heard of Accumula but don’t know if that’s the best option? Anywhere else I should look? Maybe just call Lightspeed customer service and start there?
