# Lightspeed
If you have a Lightspeed based webshop, you can import your product data into Channable using our Channable plugin.
***
### :memo-circle-check: Before you start
**You’ll need**
* A Channable account with a project
* A Lightspeed account with a webshop
* Full permissions for your Lightspeed account (required to install the Channable app)
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Install the Channable app in your Lightspeed App Store
1. In your Lightspeed backend, open the Lightspeed App Store (**Apps > App store**).
2. In the search bar, search "Channable" and select it.
3. Provide the login details requested to verify the install. After verifying, you'll be redirected to Channable to log in to your account, if you haven't already done so.
4. Once logged in, you'll be redirected back to Lightspeed to accept permissions to connect Channable to your Lightspeed account.
5. After accepting permissions in Lightspeed, you'll be directed back to your Channable account to accept permissions and finalize your connection.
6. Click **Connect with Lightspeed.**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Set up your Lightspeed connection in Channable
1. In Channable, open the project you want to import your product data to.
2. Go to **Setup > Import** and click **+ Choose import method**. Select **Lightspeed**.
3. Click **Select an existing connection** and select the connection you set up in the previous step.
* For **Name**, give your channel a descriptive name (like "Lightspeed EN")
* For **Language**, select the language your product data is in.
4. Click **Run import**. You'll be redirected to the **Import mapping** step to map your product information.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Set advanced Lightspeed import settings (optional)
If you would like to further customize your Lightspeed setup, you can customize your import with additional advanced settings.
1. Click :arrow-left: **Import settings** to return to your import settings.
2. Click :gear: **Advanced settings**.
3. Apply your preferred settings, clicking **Save** after each change.

#### **Additional fields**
**Metafields**
Choose whether to import product custom fields with additional information.
* **Enabled:** Channable imports custom fields for the main product.
* **Disabled:** Channable does not import product-level metafields.
{% hint style="info" %}
Metafields in your imports will be prefixed with `meta_` .
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Map your product data to project fields
After you run your import, you'll land on the **Import mapping** page. It shows the fields pulled from Lightspeed, such as `price`, `description`, and `title`.
In this step, you match those imported fields to Channable's standard project fields. Channable maps most fields automatically, but you should review and adjust them before importing.
{% hint style="success" %}
Want to learn more about how import mapping works in Channable? Read our [dedicated guide on mapping](/get-started/getting-started/fields-in-channable/field-mapping-in-channable.md).
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
If you specifically use Google categories in Lightspeed and want to import that data into Channable, [contact our Technical Support team](https://www.channable.com/contact).
{% endhint %}
1. **Compare and adjust mapping.**
* Review your **Imported data fields** against Channable's matched **Project fields**. If a field was matched incorrectly, click on the field to select a different field.
2. **Check and correct field types.**
* Check that the right field type is assigned to your project fields. If a field has the wrong type, click **Edit** next to the field, select the correct type in the dropdown, and click **Save & import**.
3. **Exclude fields (optional).**
* To exclude a field from being included in your product data, click the checkbox in the **Exclude from import** column for that field.
4. Once you've finished mapping, click **Save** to start importing your Lightspeed product data.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Overview
When the import completes, you arrive on the **Overview** page. Review the imported product data there.
* In the **Imported data** table, click an item to view its details.
Your Lightspeed import is ready! Use this product data to create and optimize Feeds, Marketplaces, Shopping Ads, and more in Channable.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://helpcenter.channable.com/import-data/import-how-to/import-your-product-data/import-via-a-webshop/lightspeed.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
