Lightspeed Loyalty

I can't find much discussion here about Lightspeed Loyalty? My understanding was that there would be a V2 out by now with some additional updates, but I can't find anything on this. I was excited to get on board with the Lightspeed version rather than using Kangaroo or Thirdshelf because the pricing was much more affordable, and the format seems pretty simple and well-integrated, but it does lack some things that I would like to see. One concern is that there is no way to set an expiration date for points earned, so once someone makes a big purchase they have an endless bank of points to redeem, which affects what rewards we might want to offer. Another issue with no expiration date of points is that when you set up "VIP" status as a certain number of points, after a period of time, everyone who shops occasionally becomes a VIP, so the rewards associated with this also need to be what you offer every regular customer rather than true "VIP's". I also wish we could add scan cards/key fobs to scan where we add the customer name - it would help immensely at checkout to avoid errors with imputing customers (including duplicates) and also further enforces the loyalty concept. Does anyone know of any updates coming, or can you offer suggestions about how Lightspeed Loyalty is working in your store? We're just in the process of getting ours up and running and I would value any input.

Add other Social Media Icons to theme

For whatever reason, maybe it's my base theme (conform plus), but there wasn't an option for LinkedIn. So I added one! It's a relatively easy add and minimal coding and editing. Figured I'd help someone else out too.

Here is what I did as a solution:

1. You will have to enter the Theme Editor and start a copy of your current theme if you haven't already

2. Download the social-icon.png asset, along with the scaled up version social-icons-2x.png

3. Create a new file with the added LinkedIn icon last, all the way to the right of the other icons. Make it the same size (32px & 64px) square as the other icons. I named mine social-icon-new.png and social-icons-2x-new.png

4. Upload these two files you've created to the Assets

5. Navigate to Theme Editor>More(upper right of screen)>Manage Settings then click Add Setting

6. Title it the social media you're adding and Type is 'Text'

7. I used these settings for LinkedIn:

8. Now navigate to Theme Editor>Theme Settings and scroll down to where the social media icons are.

9. Add the URL of the page you want it to link to

10. Navigate to Theme Editor>Theme Editor>style.css and search 'instagram' it should bring you to where all the other social media is.

11. Copy and paste the instagram one and change it to your social media. Here is mine:

12. Navigate to Theme Editor>Theme Editor>custom.rain under layouts

13. Search again for 'instagram' and again copy and paste and change it:

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6025193/uploads/editor/2m/z188txjc77n6.png

14. That should be it! This could be re-appropriated for other links and such, but I'm guessing there are others out there that wish LinkedIn was an option for Social Media

Cheers!

Re: How to target last active category in the shop URL?

I'm not a support rep, but I'm wondering if you could employ JavaScript to retrieve the URL and parse its elements. This is based on the presumption that the categories will be reflected like your example.

Re: SalePayment

@beckf You will need to create a sale for that customer with two payments attached: customers credit account deposit (negative amount) and payment method used to make a deposit (positive amount).

Weten wie wat gekocht heeft

Beste wie weet er een goede oplossing om snel te kunnen zien wie er een bepaald product gekocht heeft in het verleden. Het makkelijkste zou zijn om naar een bepaald artikel te gaan en daar direct bij te kunnen zien welke klanten het allemaal hebben gekocht.

The grant type was not specified in the request (resolved)

I'm trying to renew my expired auth_token using the refresh token.

My API and OAuth was working fine 40min ago, and I'm now getting "The grant type was not specified in the request" even though the grant_type is set to "refresh_token" as per the documentation.

** got it working, thanks

Re: Exporting Data - Custom Fields

Hey @gus_scherer !

Thanks for the feedback! You're right about the custom fields not being something you can export for the time being.

You can, however, create an API so you could consider building to get those extracted from the database so as to use them elsewhere!

Hope this helps!

Re: New "Work Order Internal Note Field"

Just got the answer directly from the LS team.

Use the following: {{ Workorder.internalNote }}

Thanks Alex!

Must be passed as a JSON-encoded array. Solution

This one took me forever to figure out, and should be documented in the official API docs since they suggest to use cURL.

[ and ] are invalid characters in a URL. The cURL wrapper that languages like PHP use automatically and silently get rid of them. So when Lightspeed asks you to create a request like:

https://api.lightspeedapp.com/API/Account/xxxxxx/Customer/yyyy.json?load_relations=\["Contact"\]&Contact.email=!~,

This request is going to fail. Lightspeed will respond with 400 Bad Request "load_relations must be passed as a JSON encoded array."

The solution? Encode JUST the [ ] characters and remove the escape backslashes:

json?load_relations=%5B"Contact"%5D&Contact.email=!~,

This will fix the issue.

For some reason, this isn't documented anywhere. Lightspeed, please add this to your documentation. It would have saved me so much time today. (I finally found the solution here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/merchantos-api-developers/9CDhGkSSp7U -- in an obscure old mailing list post.)

Re: Create a new Workorder

Please consider this as another upvote for the request to add Workorder Put/Post to the API.

We need the ability to create Workorders, and not having that in the API is going to create a lot of workarounds and manual data entry for our company.

thanks,

Pat
