Connecting Retail API

Hi,
We have a customer that want to automatically upload his turnover into our system.
Is there a possibility with Lightspeed API to use OAuth2 (or similar) so our customer can connect his Lightspeed account with our system, and then we get the turnover informations ?
Thanks,
Lionel

Hi @LionelH,
Thank you for contacting us.
Our Retail API is making use of OAuth2, please find all details here:https://developers.lightspeedhq.com/retail/authentication/authentication-overview/
Thanks a lot.
I was thinking we need to "authorized" by the Lightspeed Partnership team to be able to connect to the API.
Is it also like that for the "restaurant" API ?
Hi @LionelH,
Our Retail API is an open API and doesn't have to be validated by us.
In case of the Resto API, this is a closed API and can only be used if you're a Lightspeed partner.
Ok got it.
I tried tons of times to register our Saas Tool as a partner with the Resto API and it is almost impossible ... even if our customer is asking for it.
Hi,
If you're only integrating with one customer, what you can do, is having the customer contact their account manager at Lightspeed.
The customer then can request an integration with you. The account manager will give you the necessities to build the application for the customer.
I hope this helps.
Oh thanks, I will ask them to contact their account manager.
We have 5 or 6 waiting ...
Hi @LionelH,
Okay perfect!
