What can the Lightspeed eCom Make integration do for your store?
The Lightspeed eCom Make integration links your store to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario (the automation itself, a chain of modules). Each module is one brick: it listens for a store event, creates or updates a record, or searches your catalog, so products, orders and discounts move without copy and paste.
Support that never misses a signal. Watch Event wakes your scenario as soon as something happens in the store, and Create a Ticket opens a follow-up for the team with the details of that event.
A catalog that stays tidy. Search Products finds the items that match your filter, then Update a Product or Create a Tag fixes them one by one. Pair it with a spreadsheet tool such as Airtable and your supplier list can drive the store instead of the other way round.
Promotions you switch on and off from one place. Create a Discount launches the code, Update a Discount changes it, Delete a Discount removes it when the campaign ends. No need to reopen the admin panel each time.
Where the listed modules stop, Make an API Call reaches any endpoint of the Lightspeed eCom API with the same connection. The documentation behind this app is flagged as AI-generated by Make, so test each module before you trust it with live orders. The same store can also be automated with n8n; the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the differences. To learn the editor properly, the Make training starts from zero, and Make pricing explains how operations are counted.
How do you connect your Lightspeed eCom store to Make?
- 01
Create an API key in Lightspeed eCom
In your store, open Settings > Store Settings > Developers and click New API key. Name it, save, turn on the switch under SETTINGS, tick the permissions Make will need and save again.
- 02
Copy the key and the secret
Under DETAILS, copy the API key. Then click Show to reveal the API secret and copy it too. Keep both at hand: Make asks for them in the next step, and nothing else.
- 03
Add the connection in Make
Add any Lightspeed eCom module to your scenario and click Create a connection. A connection is your store linked to Make once, reused by every Lightspeed eCom module. Give it a name if you like, paste the key and the secret, and confirm.
Your first scenario: turn a store event into a support ticket
GoalWhen an event occurs in Lightspeed eCom, Make opens a ticket so nobody on the team misses it.
- 01
Create the scenario
From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big + to place the first module.
- 02
Set up Watch Event
Search for Lightspeed eCom, pick Watch Event, click Create a webhook, then Create a connection with the key and secret from your store.
- 03
Add Create a Ticket
Click the + on the right of Watch Event, choose Create a Ticket and map the event data into it, so each ticket says what happened.
- 04
Test with Run once
Click Run once, then trigger an event in the store. Open the bubbles above each module to read the bundle (the item passed along) each one received.
- 05
Switch it on
When the ticket looks right, save and switch the scenario on. Being instant, Watch Event starts it on each event instead of waiting for a schedule.
What starts a Lightspeed eCom scenario
1 module starts a scenario when something happens in Lightspeed eCom. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Lightspeed eCom as soon as it happens.
Watch Event
Instant triggerIn Make“Triggers when an event occurs.”
Watch Event is the only trigger of the app: it starts your scenario each time an event occurs in your Lightspeed eCom store and hands the details of that event to the next module as a bundle.
What the Lightspeed eCom modules can do
Lightspeed eCom gives you 45 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Add a Product to a Checkout
ActionIn Make“Adds products to the checkout.”
This module drops a product into a checkout that already exists, so the cart your scenario prepares holds the goods a customer chose elsewhere.
Create a Checkout
ActionIn Make“Creates a new checkout.”
Create a Checkout opens a brand new checkout in your store, the empty starting point that later modules fill and close.
Create a Checkout by Quote
ActionIn Make“Creates a checkout based on an existing quote.”
Starting from a quote that already sits in the store, this module turns it into a checkout, so the customer pays for exactly what was offered.
Create a Custom Status
ActionIn Make“Creates a new custom status.”
With Create a Custom Status you add a new status to the store, a label that describes a step your standard statuses do not cover.
Create a Discount
ActionIn Make“Creates a new discount.”
Launching a promotion from a scenario is what Create a Discount is for: it adds a new discount to the store in one operation (one run of one module, the unit Make counts on your plan).
Create a Group
ActionIn Make“Creates a new group.”
A new group lands in your store each time this module runs, which saves you building segments one by one in the admin panel.
Create a Product
ActionIn Make“Creates a new product.”
Create a Product adds an item to your catalog straight from the scenario, fed by whatever source holds your product data.
Create a Subscription
ActionIn Make“Creates a new subscription.”
Here a new subscription is recorded in Lightspeed eCom for you, without anyone opening the store to add it.
Create a Tag
ActionIn Make“Creates a new tag.”
Tags are how you sort things in the store, and Create a Tag adds a new one without leaving your scenario.
Create a Tax
ActionIn Make“Creates a new tax.”
Create a Tax registers a new tax in your store, handy when you roll the same setup out to several shops.
Create a Ticket
ActionIn Make“Creates a new ticket.”
Create a Ticket opens a new ticket in Lightspeed eCom, so a request or an alert becomes something the team can track and close.
Delete a Discount
ActionIn Make“Deletes an existing discount.”
Delete a Discount removes a discount from the store for good, the clean way to close a promotion once it is over.
Delete a Group
ActionIn Make“Deletes an existing group.”
Old segments pile up, and Delete a Group clears one out of your store in a single step.
Delete a Product
ActionIn Make“Deletes an existing product.”
This module takes a product out of your catalog permanently, driven by your scenario instead of a manual clean-up.
Delete a Tag
ActionIn Make“Deletes an existing tag.”
Delete a Tag removes a tag you no longer need, so the list stays short enough to use.
Delete a Tax
ActionIn Make“Deletes an existing tax.”
Delete a Tax takes a tax off the store, which is useful when a rate or a region no longer applies.
Delete a Ticket
ActionIn Make“Deletes an existing ticket.”
Deleting a ticket is the whole job of this module: the ticket leaves the store's list for good.
Finish a Checkout
ActionIn Make“Validates and finishes a checkout.”
Finish a Checkout validates the checkout and closes it, the last step that turns a prepared cart into a completed sale.
Get a Discount
ActionIn Make“Retrieves a single discount.”
Get a Discount returns the full details of one discount you already know, ready to map into the next module.
Get a Group
ActionIn Make“Retrieves a single group.”
One group, all its details: that is what Get a Group fetches when you already know which group you mean.
Get an Invoice
ActionIn Make“Retrieves a single invoice.”
Get an Invoice pulls one invoice out of the store so the rest of the scenario can file it, send it or copy its amounts.
Get an Order
ActionIn Make“Retrieves a single order.”
With Get an Order the scenario reads one order in full, so a later module can work with its contents instead of a bare reference.
Get a Product
ActionIn Make“Retrieves a single product.”
This module fetches a single product with its details, so the scenario works on fresh store data rather than an old copy.
Get a Tag
ActionIn Make“Retrieves a single tag.”
Get a Tag reads one tag and returns what the store knows about it, a small check that saves mistakes further down.
Get a Tax
ActionIn Make“Retrieves a single tax.”
Get a Tax returns one tax with its settings, the reference point before you copy or change it.
Get a Ticket
ActionIn Make“Retrieves a single ticket.”
Get a Ticket brings back one ticket in full, so you can pass its details to a chat tool or a report.
Make an API Call
ActionIn Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”
Make an API Call is the way out when no listed module does what you need: it calls any endpoint of the Lightspeed eCom API with the connection you already set up.
Update a Discount
ActionIn Make“Updates an existing discount.”
Update a Discount changes a discount that is already live, without deleting it and starting over.
Update a Group
ActionIn Make“Updates an existing group.”
This module edits an existing group, keeping its place in the store while its details change.
Update an Invoice
ActionIn Make“Updates an existing invoice.”
Update an Invoice edits an invoice already stored in Lightspeed eCom, so a correction made elsewhere reaches the store too.
Update an Order
ActionIn Make“Updates an existing order.”
Update an Order changes an existing order, for instance to move it forward when something happens outside the store.
Update a Payment Method
ActionIn Make“Updates a payment method.”
Update a Payment Method changes one of the store's payment methods from the scenario, rather than through the settings screens.
Update a Product
ActionIn Make“Updates an existing product.”
Update a Product edits an item of your catalog, so the source you trust for product data keeps the store current.
Update a Subscription
ActionIn Make“Updates an existing subscription.”
Update a Subscription edits a subscription the store already has, so a change made in another tool is not lost.
Update a Tag
ActionIn Make“Updates an existing tag.”
Renaming or adjusting a tag without recreating it is the job of Update a Tag.
Update a Ticket
ActionIn Make“Updates an existing ticket.”
Update a Ticket moves an existing ticket forward, so its state in the store follows what the team actually did.
List Taxes
SearchIn Make“Retrieves a list of all tax objects from this shop.”
List Taxes returns every tax set in the store, one bundle per tax, so you can review or copy the whole setup.
Search Discounts
SearchIn Make“Retrieves a list of all discount objects from this shop.”
Search Discounts lists the discount objects of the store, the starting point when you need to act on several promotions.
Search Groups
SearchIn Make“Retrieves a list of all group objects from this shop.”
Search Groups brings back the groups of your store, handy when you know a group by name but not which record it is.
Search Invoices
SearchIn Make“Retrieves a list of all invoice objects from this shop.”
Search Invoices returns the invoices of the store as separate bundles, ready to be copied into another tool.
Search Orders
SearchIn Make“Retrieves a list of all order objects from this shop.”
Pull the orders of your Lightspeed eCom shop into your scenario, each one arriving as a bundle, the unit of data Make hands from one module to the next.
Search Products
SearchIn Make“Retrieves a list of all product objects from this shop.”
This module gives you the product catalog of your store as a stream of bundles, ready to be copied into another tool or checked one by one. It is the starting point for any catalog export.
Search Tags
SearchIn Make“Retrieves a list of all tag objects from this shop.”
Here you obtain every tag defined in the shop, handy to check which labels already exist before your scenario creates a new one. That check keeps your tag list clean.
Search Tickets
SearchIn Make“Retrieves a list of all ticket objects from this shop.”
With this search, the support tickets of your Lightspeed eCom shop land in Make as bundles, so a customer service lead can see them outside the back office. Each ticket then feeds whatever module comes next.
Search Variants
SearchIn Make“Retrieves a list of all variant objects from this shop.”
Variants are the sizes, colors or versions of a product, and this module lists them for you as separate bundles. It shows the real sellable items behind each product page.
