1.Introduction
This is the manual for the integration between Lightspeed eCom and Moneybird.
- This integration is a financial integration. It is not a logistics integration. It is not suitable for updating customers in Moneybird, printing packing slips, or synchronizing products/inventory.
- This integration does not replace the work of an accountant. It saves time because you no longer have to retype documents. The accountant is still needed for advice, expertise, and control.
Tip: Other customers using this integration found the tips in the FAQ for Lightspeed eCom and in the FAQ for Moneybird.
You install this integration from the Lightspeed eCom App Store. If you select the Accounting category, our apps will appear automatically. You can recognize us as a supplier by the blue area and the white gear icon at the top right. If you click on the App, you will see a description and the Install button. Upon activation, you will be automatically guided through the configuration screens.
The installation is complete when both connection dots are green, and the settings in the Configuration tab have been entered and saved.
Important: Once the integration is installed, always log in to the dashboard via https://uwkoppeling.webwinkelfacturen.nl, and not from the app store.
The trial period for the integration is 30 days.
If you want to install another integration, you can do so in the same way. Make sure you are logged out of the integration dashboard and preferably start the new installation in an incognito browser.
If you want to terminate the integration, you can simply remove the app from the app store in your backend.
Are you switching to another accounting system and want to create a new integration? You can install the new app from the app store in your backend. Make sure you are logged out of the dashboard of the old integration and preferably start the new installation in an incognito browser.
Are you switching to another webshop system? Via our integrations page you can see whether you install it from the relevant app store, or by means of an installation link.
Has the installation been successful, but do you see in the dashboard of the integration the old license key still present when you click the dropdown arrow next to the key (even though that app/key has been deleted)? If so, please send us an email requesting that the old key be removed.
2.How the integration works
The integration works with webhooks from the Lightspeed eCom webshop. Processing can be done in two ways, namely based on paid orders or invoices. The advantage of the option paid orders is that orders that are not paid do not enter the accounting system. With this option, however, credit notes are not included. With the option invoices all invoices are processed to Moneybird, so both debit and credit invoices. You can set the preference for paid orders or invoices via the Configuration tab of the dashboard.

At the start of processing an order, we perform a number of checks on the Lightspeed eCom order or invoice:
- It is checked whether the total of the Lightspeed eCom order / invoice is equal to the sum of the amounts in the order / invoice lines plus the shipping costs amount.
- If the order / invoice is an ICP sale, the VAT number is checked.
- It is checked whether a corresponding VAT code exists in Moneybird for the VAT in each line.
- It is checked whether the order or invoice has not already been processed.
Processing orders or invoices
Processing a Lightspeed eCom order or invoice to Moneybird happens in two steps:
- It is checked if the customer already exists in Moneybird. If not, the customer is created. Matching is based on the email address.
- The Moneybird invoice is created and processed.
After the order or invoice has been forwarded and a success message from Moneybird has been received, the order or invoice is marked as handled. The Lightspeed eCom order appears at the Reporting tab on the dashboard.
If Moneybird returns an error while processing the order or invoice, the order or invoice appears in the Errors tab on the dashboard. Via the yellow button More info more information about the problem can be found. Via the red button Report problem can the order or invoice with all necessary information easily be submitted to us after you have tried to resolve the problem yourself. If the problem is solved, in some cases the orders or invoices can be processed again with the blue Process button.
Data
Information about the data that is processed can be found in the section Day-to-day: To Moneybird later in the manual.
3.Installation
The integration between Lightspeed eCom and moneybird is installed via the Lightspeed App Store. First, the connection with your webshop is established and you authorize the integration to read data from your webshop.
Read more Installation .... Read less Installation ....
Two more steps need to be completed:
1. Establishing the connection with Moneybird. This authorizes the integration to write transactions to your Moneybird administration and to read information.
2. The configuration itself.
Moneybird connection
The connection with Moneybird runs via OAuth. Make sure you are logged out of Moneybird before starting the connection. Now click the red Connect button. A login screen for your Moneybird account will automatically appear. If you log in, you will get a screen asking if you allow the connection. If you confirm this, the connection with Moneybird will be established.
To use the integration, you must specify to which administration the invoices should be sent. You also need to specify an invoice layout for the Moneybird invoices. If you do not do this, the invoices unfortunately cannot be created in Moneybird.
When setting up the VAT rates and general ledger accounts, a link is established between the VAT rates in webshop and the VAT codes and revenue accounts in Moneybird. You can always make adjustments by clicking the blue 'Modify' button and making a selection via the drop-down boxes.
NB: ledger numbers are shown in the image below. This is for illustration purposes only. For Moneybird integrations, a name is shown here.
By default, the integration shows a fixed list of VAT rates per EU country. You can configure this fixed list. If you provide OSS, you can easily adjust the list with the correct VAT percentage per country. If you prefer to use the VAT rates from your webshop, you can adjust this in the contract settings. Intra-Community (ICP) and international deliveries
The Intra-Community supplies / ICP option is intended for business-to-business deliveries within the EU. These sales are invoiced with 0% VAT. A VAT number from the customer is required. The International option applies to deliveries outside the EU. For these sales, the integration expects 0% VAT; otherwise, the sales cannot be processed. Separate VAT codes and general ledger accounts can be configured for both ICP and international deliveries.
Once the VAT settings have been configured and saved, you will always see the selected VAT rates. If you want to start over, you can use the grey 'Remove VAT settings' button. Your current settings will then be deleted and you can begin again.
You can create a link here between the payment methods in the webshop and a fixed debtor in your Moneybird administration. Orders or invoices with a payment method from the list will then always be posted to this debtor. In that case, no new debtors will be created.
Note: It is not possible to set fixed debtors for ICP orders or invoices. For an ICP order or invoice, a valid VAT number must be transmitted. Therefore, a debtor will always be created in Moneybird for an ICP order or invoice.
4.Day-to-day: From Lightspeed
VAT numbers: For business orders within the EU, outside the Netherlands, a VAT number is mandatory. The integration performs a check on the validity of VAT numbers.

5.Day-to-day: To Moneybird
At the end of this section, it is detailed at field level how we create a Moneybird invoice.
Information for processing payments is also described in this section.
Shipping status: It is possible to set the shipping status of the Moneybird invoice to sent. For this, it is necessary that the Moneybird debtor has shipping method manual. It is possible to request from us that a Moneybird invoice always or never receives the status sent.
Automatically send invoice: Even if the integration has the status sent, that does not mean that Moneybird automatically sends the invoice. After all, in Moneybird, the invoice can be sent manually or by email. If you want the invoice to be sent automatically by email, please contact us. We can then set that up for you.
Payment status:
It is possible to set the payment status of the Moneybird invoice to paid. For this, it is necessary that the Moneybird has the status sent. In addition, the order or invoice must be paid. It is possible to request from us that a Moneybird invoice always or never receives the status paid. With Mollie payments, the Mollie transaction ID can also be processed to Moneybird. Via this transaction ID, Moneybird automatically reconciles the invoices.
Please note: Sometimes a payment for a order or invoice arrives after the integration has processed the order or invoice. In that case, the status of the invoice in Moneybird is not adjusted. Therefore, no payment request is forwarded. The only remedy is to contact us with the request to hard-set that all orders always receive the paid status.
Workflows: The integration does nothing with the Moneybird workflows. It is therefore not possible to include a workflow with the invoice.
Creating new debtors
When processing customer information, it is first checked whether the customer has been processed before. If so, this Moneybird debtor is used as the debtor for the Moneybird transaction. If the customer is not yet known, they are added to Moneybird. Matching is based on email address. Please note: The integration only creates debtors. The integration does not modify debtors.
