How does AdVision eCommerce work with Lightspeed OnSite?

To use AdVision eCommerce with Lightspeed OnSite, you must also have a Lightspeed Webstore. Although you won’t being using the Lightspeed Webstore, nor will your customers ever visit or use it (your customers will only use the webstores managed by AdVision eCommerce), the Lightspeed Webstore is required so that AdVision Ecommerce can communicate with your Lightspeed OnSite POS. Think of the Lightspeed Webstore as a bridge between AE and your Lightspeed POS.

Before you start working in AdVision eCommerce, you must first build your catalog in Lightspeed
and upload that catalog to the Lightspeed Webstore. Once your catalog is uploaded to the
Lightspeed Webstore, AE is then setup to import the catalog information from the Lightspeed
Webstore’s database. Whenever you add a product to your Lightspeed POS and upload those
new products to your Lightspeed Webstore, the new products will be detected by AdVision
eCommerce and automatically imported into AE. AE will likewise detect certain changes you
make to your catalog in Lightspeed, like inventory quantity and pricing updates.

In addition to the catalog importing into AE, AdVision eCommerce will also export orders you
receive in your AE webstores and send them to the Lightspeed Webstore, from which your
Lightspeed POS can then download.
