About this template
What This Workflow Does
A multi-store retailer does not have one stock figure, it has one per outlet, and Shopify wants them per location too. Keeping those aligned by hand means someone knows which till maps to which fulfilment site and updates the right one, which is why most retailers fall back on a nightly total and oversell the last unit. This template pushes each stock change to the location it actually belongs to.
Key benefits
Stock set per location — Each Shopify location receives the quantity from its own Lightspeed XRetail outlet.
Outlet mapping held in Airtable — The outlet-to-location matrix lives in a table your team can edit.
Implausible changes filtered — A stock delta that fails validation stops before it reaches the storefront.
Locations activated first — appse ai enables the Shopify inventory location before setting the quantity.
Inside the flow
How the template works
appse ai runs this workflow from a Lightspeed XRetail stock change through validation, outlet identification, and Airtable location mapping to a per-location quantity set in Shopify.
01
Pick up the Lightspeed XRetail stock change
appse ai starts when product stock is updated in Lightspeed XRetail, whether the movement came from a sale, a transfer, or a consignment adjustment at any outlet. Every location's stock movements enter the same process rather than only the ones someone remembers to report.
02
Validate the stock change
appse ai passes the incoming payload through a filter that checks the stock delta is plausible before anything downstream runs. An obviously wrong adjustment is stopped here rather than being published to the storefront and corrected afterwards.
03
Identify the outlet behind the movement
appse ai searches Lightspeed XRetail records to establish which physical outlet the stock change belongs to. Without this the quantity could be applied to the wrong site, which is the failure that makes multi-location sync worse than no sync.
04
Read the product and its live inventory levels
In parallel, appse ai retrieves the Lightspeed XRetail product and its inventory levels by product ID, then locates the corresponding product in Shopify. The quantity that gets published is the live figure, not the delta that triggered the run.
05
Map the outlet to its Shopify location
appse ai queries the Airtable mapping table to translate the Lightspeed XRetail outlet into its matching Shopify location. Keeping that matrix in Airtable means opening a new store is a row your team adds, not a change to the workflow.
06
Activate the location and set the quantity in Shopify
appse ai merges the product, location, and inventory results into one payload, activates the inventory location in Shopify, then sets the available quantity for that location. The storefront shows what is on that shelf, so shoppers are not sold the last unit twice.
Business Benefits
Publish each outlet's real stock position to its matching Shopify location as movements happen, rather than as a nightly total.
01
Cut overselling
Shopify availability follows the shelf, so the last unit is not sold twice while a batch file waits.
02
Get every location right
Each Shopify location receives the quantity from its own Lightspeed XRetail outlet rather than a blended figure.
03
Keep store mapping editable
Opening or closing a store is a row in the Airtable table, not a change to the workflow.
04
Retire the nightly batch
Stock movements publish as they happen instead of waiting for an end-of-day upload.
05
Stop bad data at the gate
The validation filter holds back implausible deltas before they reach the storefront.
06
Publish live levels, not deltas
The quantity written to Shopify is read from Lightspeed XRetail at run time, so drift does not accumulate.
07
Cover every movement type
Sales, transfers, and consignment adjustments all enter the same process.
08
Scale to more stores
Adding outlets adds mapping rows rather than reconciliation work.

Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about this template before you deploy it.
How does Lightspeed to Shopify inventory sync work across multiple locations?
appse ai triggers on a Lightspeed XRetail stock change, validates the delta, and identifies which outlet it came from. It reads the product's live inventory levels, looks up the matching Shopify location in an Airtable mapping table, then activates that inventory location in Shopify and sets the available quantity for it. Each store's stock reaches its own Shopify location rather than a single pooled total.
How does it know which Shopify location a store maps to?
What triggers an update?
Does it send the change amount or the new total?
