Before you begin

You will need:

• Access to your LightspeedaBack Office
• An  Active Campaign account

Enable the Active Campaign Integration

1. From the Add-ons Page in Lightspeed Back Office, find the Active Campaign add-on.

2. Enable this add-on by selecting the orange Enable Active Campaign button.

3. Your screen should look like this.

4. You will be asked for the API URL and API KEY. You will need to log in to your Active Campaign to get these details (we’ll cover this in the next step).

5. Log in to your Active Campaign and select Settings. 

6. Next, select Developer, then note the API URL and API KEY

7. Enter the API URL and Key details into Lightspeed - then click Connect to finish the setup.

8. You will see that your Active Campaign is now connected to your Lightspeed (see image below). Then you will be presented with the following options:

• Send Lightspeed orders to ActiveCampaign - you’d want to tick this if you’d like the data on a customer’s orders to come through and be used in campaigns and marketing automation.

• Turn Lightspeed customers into ActiveCampaign contacts - you’d want to tick this if you want your contact list to update in Active Campaign from Lightspeed Lightspeed.

Note - To make the most of this integration, it is advisable to tick both boxes.

Remember to select the Save option/s that will appear after you tick the box/es above.

Note - Only customers who have had a recorded sale linked to them will sync to Active Campaign’s contacts. This rule ensures that your contact list on Active Campaign is comprised of customers who have had that level of engagement with you.

Note - Only purchases made after the add-on was enabled will be viewable on Active Campaign

Frequently Asked Questions

What customer details will sync from Lightspeed to Active Campaign?

The data that imports from Lightspeed to Active Campaign includes the name, email, phone number, and purchase history.

Where can I find my Lightspeed customer details on Active Campaign?

Your Lightspeed customer details can be viewed and changed from the Contacts page on your  Active Campaign account.

Why isn’t my customer data synchronising to Active Campaign?

You need to have processed sales under the customer name for them to show on Active Campaign’s contacts.

What if I change the name or phone number of the customer from Back Office?

This will not update your contacts list on Active Campaign - so make sure to update from Active Campaign as well.
