Zapier Alternative forLightspeed Klaviyo Integration
Tired of Zapier's per-task pricing and manual workflows? Gather is purpose-built for retail data sync. Real-time updates, flat pricing, and retail-specific features.
Why Zapier Falls Short for Retail Data Sync
Per-Task Pricing Gets Expensive Fast
Every customer sync, every order sync, every update counts as a Zapier task. As your clients grow or you add more clients, costs balloon. A busy retail store can easily hit 2,000+ tasks per month, pushing you into expensive plans. Gather offers flat pricing with no per-task charges.
Polling Delays, Not Real-Time
Zapier polls for changes on intervals (every 1-15 minutes depending on your plan). This means your Klaviyo data can be up to 15 minutes behind real-time sales. Gather syncs in real-time, updating Klaviyo within seconds of a Lightspeed purchase.
Manual Setup and Maintenance
Each Zapier workflow requires manual configuration: mapping fields, setting up filters, handling edge cases. When something breaks (API changes, data format shifts), you're debugging Zaps. Gather handles all of this automatically with smart defaults and retail-specific logic.
No Duplicate Prevention
If you're syncing both Shopify and Lightspeed to Klaviyo via Zapier, you risk creating duplicate customer profiles or double-counting orders. Gather automatically prevents duplicates and filters out overlapping data to keep your Klaviyo segments clean.
Gather: Purpose-Built for Retail
Gather is built specifically for retail data sync. It understands retail use cases (loyalty programs, multi-store, SKU-level data) and handles them automatically. Real-time syncing, flat pricing, and retail-specific features make it the better choice for agencies managing Lightspeed to Klaviyo integrations.
