* Log in to your Channable account.
  * If you are already logged into your Channable account you will automatically be sent to the connections page to save your connection.
* Click **Save**.

Your Channable account will be connected to Lightspeed and ready for when you create a Lightspeed import channel in a project.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Set up your Lightspeed connection

* In Channable, open the project you want to import your product data to.
* Go to **Setup**, click **+ Set up import** and select **Lightspeed E - Series**.
* Select your Lightspeed eSeries connection.
* For **Name**, give your channel a descriptive name (e.g. "Lightspeed eSeries EN").
* For **Language**, select the language your product data is in.
* Click **Start import**. You'll be redirected to the **Edit Mapping** step to map your product information.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Map your product data

Edit mapping displays fields retrieved from your Lightspeed account (e.g. price, description, title).

Match your imported fields to Channable's standardized project fields. Channable does most mapping automatically, but review and adjust before importing.

{% hint style="info" %}
Tip: Want to learn more about how import mapping works in Channable? Read our [dedicated guide on mapping](https://app.gitbook.com/s/UAGSVlvcNsqEqVUgr0tD/getting-started/fields-in-channable/field-mapping-in-channable).
{% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Compare and adjust mapping

Review your **Import fields** against Channable's matched **Project fields**. If a field was matched incorrectly, click on the field to select a different field.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### 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**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Exclude fields (optional)

To exclude a field from being included in your product data, click the checkbox in the **Select** column for that field and click **Do not import selected fields**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Finalize mapping and import

Once you've finished mapping, click **Save & Import** to start importing your Lightspeed product data.

{% 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 %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Review your imported items

After your product data has finished importing:

* Go to the **Items** page to view your imported products.
* Click on an item to see detailed information.

Your Lightspeed import is now successfully set up! You can now use this product data to create and optimize Feeds, Marketplaces, Shopping Ads, and more in Channable.
{% endstep %}

Importing variants and translations

#### Variants

Channable imports each variant as a single item. Variants are configured in each product in Lightspeed E-Series in **Options > Variations**.

#### Translations

Some attributes of an item in Lightspeed E-Series are translatable. Channable imports all translations following the naming convention: “{attribute\_name}\_{locale}”. Each attribute will have a “main” translation in Lightspeed, which is the language of the shop itself.

Example: If you have a Dutch Lightspeed E-Series shop with the attribute “color” in both Dutch and English, Channable will import the following fields for the item: {"color": "rood", "colorr\_en": "red"}
