Hi. How can we help?

Activating the NuORDER and Retail POS (X-Series) integration

NuORDER by Lightspeed is a leading business-to-business (B2B) eCom platform. It’s a place where brands can deliver a seamless, more collaborative wholesale process, and buyers can browse products, plan assortments, and make smarter buys in real-time.

Understanding NuORDER by Lightspeed

Brands

NuORDER by Lightspeed has over 3000 brands that want to connect and empower their retail merchants to purchase the items that they sell.

Brand admins curate a portfolio of items that retail merchants can purchase via the product gallery in NuORDER by Lightspeed, export to Retail POS, and sell in their stores.

Buyers

Buyers are Retail POS merchants. NuORDER by Lightspeed empowers over 500,000 merchants to connect with the brands they buy from and consolidate their purchasing flows into one platform.

Those who use Retail POS also have access to exclusive features, including exporting purchase orders from NuORDER by Lightspeed directly to Retail POS.

The exclusive integration features allow you to connect with all your brands and create purchase orders using the product marketplace that are sent directly to your brands for dispatch. These can then be exported to Retail POS to ensure up-to-date item information and accurate inventory levels for the items you are selling.

    Clicking Cancel on the Terms and Conditions only cancels the connection process between the accounts. You'll still be able to use your NuORDER account separately from Retail POS. You can restart the process of connecting your NuORDER account and confirming the Terms and Conditions in Retail POS when ready.

Your NuORDER and Retail POS accounts are now successfully connected. Click Go to NuORDER to browse brands in your NuORDER account, or View recommendations to start importing NuORDER purchase orders into Retail POS.

Managing buyer access

Once you have linked your NuORDER and Retail POS accounts, you can invite and link multiple buyers to the same account. This allows multiple people to create NuORDER purchase orders for your business and view and import all orders into Retail POS. Buyers added to Retail POS must already have an active NuORDER account.

To invite a buyer:

  1. In Retail POS, navigate to Setup > Apps.
  2. Click the pencil icon beside NuORDER by Lightspeed.

    The apps page with the pencil icon highlighted.

  3. Click Invite buyer.

    The NuOrder page with the Invite buyer button highlighted.

  4. Enter the email address of an existing NuORDER account and click Send invitation.
  5. Once the buyer confirms their account via the email invitation, they will be able to purchase through NuORDER and all their purchase orders will be viewable in Retail POS.

Only the admin user can disconnect the connection. If the connection is disconnected, all buyers will be removed from the integration. Currently there is no way to remove a single buyer from a connected account.
