Keep Lightspeed and e-Boekhouden.nl updated automatically.
Lightspeed is the till many shops and hospitality venues run on: all day you take payments by card, cash and gift cards, and at close you have a day total. e-Boekhouden.nl is the affordable accounting for those entrepreneurs, working with sales entries, ledger accounts and VAT codes. Retyping your daily turnover by hand costs time, and your till still has to reconcile with your bank. Schakel reads your Lightspeed turnover and books it as sales entries in e-Boekhouden.nl, split per payment method so your card payments reconcile with your bank account.
What travels across the link
Everything this connector moves between Lightspeed and e-Boekhouden.nl, and how often.
-
Daily turnover as a sales entry
A sales day turnover becomes a sales entry in e-Boekhouden.nl, with a line per VAT rate and the date as description. You do not book loose receipts, the day total from your till is neatly in place.
-
Split per payment method
Card, cash, gift cards and online payments are booked separately to their own ledger account, so your card turnover reconciles with what lands in your bank account and your cash sits apart.
-
VAT codes per line
Hospitality and retail often run 9% and 21% mixed. Each line gets the right VAT code in e-Boekhouden.nl, so reduced and standard arrive tidily separated on your return without you splitting by hand.
-
Returns and gift cards
A refund or return in Lightspeed is booked back for the amount actually refunded, and the sale and redemption of gift cards are tracked apart, so your revenue and VAT stay correct.

Common questions
Is the Lightspeed to e-Boekhouden.nl connector available?
Request this connector and get access. You let us know you want to link Lightspeed to e-Boekhouden.nl, and we make sure you can get started. You hear from us within 24 hours.
Do you book per receipt or per day?
By default per day: the daily turnover comes in as one sales entry per VAT rate and payment method, so your accounting in e-Boekhouden.nl does not fill up with loose receipts.
Does my card turnover reconcile with my bank account?
Yes. Because card, cash and online sit apart on their own ledger accounts, your card turnover reconciles with your payment provider payout and your cash stays apart.
Does this work for both hospitality and retail?
Yes. Whether you run a shop or a hospitality venue on Lightspeed, the daily turnover is booked per VAT rate and payment method, so 9% and 21% and your payment flows are right.
Can I book several locations into one administration?
Yes. Several Lightspeed locations can feed the same e-Boekhouden.nl administration, each with its own ledger accounts if you want to see revenue per location.
Can you connect Lightspeed to e-Boekhouden.nl?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Lightspeed and e-Boekhouden.nl, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Which VAT rate do my sales get in e-Boekhouden.nl?
The rate is set per line: 21%, 9% or 0%. Sales to Belgium and other EU countries get the rate of the destination country, ready for your OSS return.
Are commission and fees booked separately in e-Boekhouden.nl?
Yes. Commission, shipping and other fee types each land on their own ledger account in e-Boekhouden.nl, rather than in one lump sum, so your margin stays readable.
