We have developed an application that helps you to quickly connect your Lightspeed store to your Mailjet account. Here are the steps that you need to follow.

Installation

2. Select the store, which you want to connect with Mailjet.

3. Go to the App store and find the Mailjet Newsletter App. Then click on ‘Install’.

   

4. Submit your Lightspeed login details, then click on next and select the option to grant access to Mailjet to access the information in your Lightspeed store.

Configuration

Once you establish the connection between your Lightspeed and Mailjet accounts, you will be redirected to the settings page of the Mailjet Newsletter App. Here you can manage your synchronization options.

Sync Contact Properties

The options you enable will result in the values of those fields being transferred to Mailjet as contact properties for the respective contacts. In addition, two more contact properties will be created, which will always contain values for Lightspeed customers - lightspeed_customer_id and lightspeed_subscriber_id will contain the respective client’s Customer ID and Subscriber ID, respectively.

This is how the information will be displayed in Mailjet for the respective contacts:

Use the contact properties to personalize your emails, or target a specific segment of your Lightspeed contact list.

Sync Customer Groups

You can choose up to 5 Lightspeed Customer Groups you want synced with Mailjet as well. For each one a Boolean contact property with its name will be created, indicating whether the customer is part of this group or not.

This will help you target a specific customer groups with marketing campaigns by using contact list segmentation.

Sync Existing Contacts

When enabled, this option will transfer all existing Lightspeed customer to Mailjet as contacts, along with the contact properties you have selected. If disabled, the synchronization will only be applied to newly registered or updated contacts.

Activate Synchronization

Once you have selected the sync settings you want, click on ‘Activate Synchronization’.

The synchronization will then start and take some time until it is completed, depending on the number of customers that need to be transferred to Mailjet.

All of your store customers will be added as contacts within a new list in Mailjet, called Lightspeed Customer List. In addition, all customers that have agreed to receive marketing emails will be subscribed to another list, called Lightspeed Newsletter Subscriber List.

For each Lightspeed contact property you have selected to sync an equivalent contact property will be created in Mailjet.

And with that, the synchronization between Mailjet and Lightspeed is active!

Update Synchronization Settings

If at some point you want to update your synchronization settings, simply go into your Lightspeed Store, then go to ‘Apps’ → ‘Purchased Apps’ and select the “Mailjet Newsletter Email Marketing App”. Then simply click on ‘Go to App’ to return to the configuration screen.

Keep in mind that you’re not allowed to update your synchronization settings, if a sync is currently in progress.

Access your Mailjet Account

If you want to access your Mailjet account while in Lightspeed, use the ‘View my Mailjet account on Lightspeed’ at the bottom of the synchronization page. There you can use the main Mailjet functionalities like Campaigns, Contact Management and Statistics.
