If you're trying to connect Lightspeed Retail X-Series (formerly Vend) to Klaviyo, you might know that Lightspeed and Klaviyo now have a native integration. However, it's basic and limited. Let's break down the best ways to sync Lightspeed X to Klaviyo and why Gather is the better choice.
The Problem: Basic Native Integration
While Lightspeed and Klaviyo now have a native integration, it's a basic one-way sync with limited features. For agencies and retailers who need more control, better filtering, two-way sync, and real support, the native integration falls short. This is why many agencies choose Gather instead.
Option 3: Gather (Recommended)
Gather is purpose-built for Lightspeed to Klaviyo integration. Here's how to set it up:
- Sign up for Gather (no credit card required)
- Connect your Lightspeed X-Series account via OAuth
- Connect your Klaviyo account
- Configure sync preferences (Gather's smart defaults handle most cases)
- Done! Data syncs in real-time automatically
Gather syncs in real-time (within seconds), prevents duplicates automatically, and offers retail-specific features like filtering out wholesale sales. It's designed to "just work" without constant monitoring.
