Insight into your financial performance starts with an administration that updates automatically. By connecting Lightspeed financially to Exact Online, revenue, payments and other accounting data are processed automatically. This way you always have current figures without transferring data by hand. Want to know what our Lightspeed & Exact Online connector offers? In this article you can read how the financial connector works 

What exactly does the connector do?

Our Magento 2 – Exact Online Financial connector ensures a flawless exchange of data between your Magento 2 webshop and your administration. This happens fully automatically, so you always stay up to date and save time.

1. Customers & contacts

When a customer places an order in Magento 2, all relevant customer details are recorded directly in Exact Online as both a relation and a contact. Think of:

  • Company name, name and address details
  • Email and phone number

Benefit:
You always have a complete and current customer database in Exact Online, without manual entry. This prevents errors and speeds up your invoicing and reporting processes.

2. Sales invoices

When an order is created in Magento 2, a sales entry is automatically generated in Exact Online:

  • All order lines, descriptions, quantities and the total price are transferred
  • Automatic connection to the correct customer and the correct delivery address
  • Automatic connection to the correct journal and general ledger account
  • Automatic assignment of the correct VAT code (ICP/export also possible)

Benefit:
Your sales are immediately ready for further processing in your accounting. No more manual entry, minimal chance of errors and a balanced administration.

3. VAT, payment terms & more

The connector supports all common VAT scenarios: national, within the EU (ICP), outside the EU (export) and zero rate. This is handled automatically based on the delivery address and the customer's VAT number.

Payment terms, references and other administrative fields are also transferred correctly.

In summary

The connector ensures that customer details and sales are always synchronised between your Magento 2 webshop and Exact Online. This lets you work more efficiently, error-free and keep more time for your business.
