LeadBounty × LightspeedA referral program that plugs into Lightspeed Retail.
LeadBounty is a referral program platform that connects to Lightspeed Retail (X-Series). Import your existing customer base with one click, and run the sync again whenever you want to bring in new customers, so your program grows with your register.
Free plan to start · No credit card required
Retailers on Lightspeed already capture customers at the register. The missing piece is a reason for those customers to bring in the next one. A referral program gives every regular a link to share and a reward worth mentioning, so the word of mouth a good shop earns anyway starts showing up as new faces you can measure.
You build a campaign with a welcome gift and milestone rewards, then connect Lightspeed Retail (X-Series) and import your customer directory by pressing Sync now. There is no CSV to export and nothing to re-key. To bring in customers you have added since, just press Sync now again. You invite your customers to become advocates and confirm each redemption in person with a QR scan, so rewards only ever go out for real visits.
None of this changes how you ring up a sale. Your Lightspeed register, catalogue and reporting carry on exactly as they are, and LeadBounty runs alongside them as the referral layer. Advocates share a personal link and watch their progress on their own page, while your dashboard shows who referred whom, which rewards were claimed, and which regulars bring in the most new shoppers.
It suits the mix of trades that run on Lightspeed Retail, from bike shops and boutiques to specialty food and homeware. Wherever customers come back and talk to their friends, a referral program gives that conversation a reason to happen more often and a way to measure what it brings in.

How to connect Lightspeed to LeadBounty.
- 1 Create your account
Sign up for free at leadbounty.io. No credit card is needed. Then customize your branding, so everything your customers see carries your shop’s name and look.
- 2 Build and publish your campaign
Create a campaign and design the offer. Set a welcome gift for referred friends, then add milestone rewards that unlock as an advocate brings in more, such as refer 3 for a free item and refer 10 for store credit. Publish it when you are happy with it, so it is ready before you invite anyone.
- 3 Connect Lightspeed
Open Integrations from the menu, find Lightspeed Retail and choose Activate, then Connect with Lightspeed Retail. You are taken to Lightspeed’s own authorization screen, where you sign in to your Retail (X-Series) account and approve read access to your customers. It is an official OAuth connection, so no password is shared with LeadBounty.
- 4 Import your customers and send welcome emails
Back in Integrations, open Lightspeed Retail with Configure. Press Sync now to import your existing customer directory, then choose Send welcome emails to new customers in the same window. Each advocate gets a personal referral link and a page that shows their progress. Lightspeed does not send new customers over on its own, so come back and press Sync now again whenever you want to bring in the people you have added since.
- 5 Confirm redemptions at the counter
When a referred friend comes in, your staff scan the QR code on their phone with the LeadBounty Scanner, which runs in the browser on any phone. The gift is marked as redeemed and the referral is credited to the advocate who sent them.

Yes. Press Sync now after connecting and your existing directory is imported. You can then invite those customers to become advocates with a batch of welcome emails.
Through referral links and QR codes, not your Lightspeed sales. A friend claims their gift through an advocate’s link, and your staff confirm it in person with a QR scan, which credits the referral to the right advocate.

LeadBounty can no longer import from Lightspeed. The customers already imported, your campaigns and your referral history remain, and you can reconnect at any time.
