Custom Lightspeed integration for Australian hospitality and retail, whether you run one shop or a Multi-Venue group. Lightspeed POS integration and Lightspeed to Xero integration carry sales, tips, fees and stock through on their own, and each venue gets its own P&L.
Perth-based and Australia-wide, we scope the work before we start. Fixed-price quotes, an Australian team, and support after the first busy weekend.
Built here. Your data stays here.
The systems Lightspeed operators most often ask us to sync with, accounting, rostering, inventory and reporting. Click any platform to see its dedicated integration page.
What an integration actually is
Point of sale is good at the transaction and not much else. Sales, stock movements and takings still have to reach accounting, inventory and reporting, and doing that by export is how end-of-day becomes an hour.
What you already run
Runs on a schedule, maps your codes to theirs, handles the records that exist in both places, and keeps a log of every sync so a mismatch can be traced instead of argued about.

A retailer running an online store, two physical sites and a warehouse system had stockouts, oversells and write-offs caused by mismatched counts. We built a two-way sync between the eCommerce platform, POS and back-office so SKUs, reorder points and order status stay aligned everywhere.
Read the full case studyFour restaurants across Melbourne, all on Lightspeed, and our bookkeeper was losing half her week reconciling with Xero. HELLO PEOPLE built a proper Lightspeed-to-Xero integration with per-venue P&L, tips separated and processing fees tracked cleanly. We can finally see which venue is actually making money.
Meet the person
Your Lightspeed Integration, handled by the founder from start to end.
HELLO PEOPLE designs, builds and looks after AI, software, app and data solutions for Australian businesses, with senior expertise on every project and a scope agreed before work starts. For an integration, that means every record lands where it should and both systems agree.
Since 2007, HELLO PEOPLE has delivered more than 100 projects from Perth for small and medium businesses across Australia: custom software and apps, system integrations, data migrations, reporting and dashboards, and AI that works inside the systems a business already runs.
I lead every engagement myself. I trained in accounting before moving into IT, hold accounting and IT professional qualifications and an MBA, and bring more than 20 years of experience across sales, service delivery, inventory and compliance. I am also a PhD candidate in AI at Curtin University, researching retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), so the technology is always judged by what it does for the business.
Small and boutique. The person who scopes your integration is the person who builds it, and the same person watches the first live syncs.
No ticket queue and no account manager in between. You hear back within one business day, usually sooner.
The integration is the start, not the end. When you need the next system, integration or report, you call the same person, who already knows your business.
Every Lightspeed integration company promises a smooth build. Here is the six-step structure we actually use. Discovery, data mapping, build, testing and go-live, then ongoing support once you are live. Venue by venue if needed.
We review your entire Lightspeed setup: R-Series or L-Series, number of locations, product categories, payment types, modifiers, and every system that needs connecting.
Revenue categories to account codes. Payment types to bank accounts. Locations to tracking categories. Tips, fees and surcharges to the correct accounts.
Integration built on the Lightspeed API with OAuth 2.0 authentication and webhook-based event processing. Multi-location routing handled natively.
Full testing across all venues and transaction types. Split payments, voids, staff meals, tips, gift cards, partial refunds. Every edge case validated.
Launch with monitoring. Each venue validated independently. Historical data backfilled if needed.
New venues, menu changes, Lightspeed updates. We keep integrations running as your business grows and evolves.
How it runs today
After
Scoped and quoted before you commit. You own the code and the credentials at the end of it.
Get a fixed-price scopeThird party and external system integration for Lightspeed usually means one of these: Zoho CRM, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Stripe, Square, Shopify, Cin7, Unleashed, Xero and MYOB. Most of it comes down to CRM records and end of day takings and stock. We link Lightspeed to any of them, in either direction. If your second system is not listed, ask. The work is the same shape against most APIs, and we will tell you when it is not.
Lightspeed POS integration across Restaurant (L-Series) and Retail (R-Series). We push sales, payments, tips, fees, refunds and inventory movements into Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks, then layer on multi-venue P&L, rostering data and BI dashboards on top. Every workflow is built on the official Lightspeed API.
Pricing depends on the systems involved, the volume of data and the exception cases. You get a fixed-price quote after a 15-minute scoping call. No hourly billing, no surprises, and multi-venue is priced per scope complexity, not per location.
Yes. Each Lightspeed location maps to a tracking category in Xero. Sales, payment splits, tips, processing fees, refunds and gift-card liabilities all flow across daily. Per-venue P&L, revenue comparison and expense tracking are standard inclusions for multi-site setups.
A single-venue integration takes 3 to 5 weeks. Multi-venue setups with inventory and labour cost dashboards typically take 6 to 10 weeks. Larger hospitality groups with more than 10 venues run in phases so each site goes live cleanly.
Yes. Tips, processing fees, card surcharges and cash rounding are each tracked in separate accounts. Staff tip liabilities sit in their own account for ATO compliance, and split-payment transactions are decomposed correctly.
Yes. Lightspeed sales combined with Deputy shift data gives you revenue per labour hour per venue. Peak-hour analysis, day-part breakdowns and labour cost percentage dashboards are the most requested reports for hospitality groups.
Yes. Gift card sales are recorded as liabilities. Redemptions are recorded as revenue. Outstanding gift card balances sit as a liability in your accounts, and loyalty balances stay consistent across venues.
Yes. We build Lightspeed Retail POS integration for national chains, including per-store P&L, catalogue governance, click-and-collect routing and channel-specific pricing. Rollouts happen store-by-store with the head office reporting live from day one.
Both. As a Lightspeed integration consultant we start by mapping your venues or stores, payment types and the accounts each one should post to. As a Lightspeed integration developer we then build it on the official Lightspeed API, test it, go live and support it after launch.
