Lightspeed eCom
Connecting your online store is the first step to activating your Lead Intelligence Engine. By installing Bread & Butter on your Lightspeed eCom storefront, you immediately begin tracking high-intent shopping behavior, mapping out the complete path to purchase, and enriching the profiles of your buyers to dramatically reduce cart abandonment and increase lifetime value.
Recommended Installation: Because e-commerce tracking often requires managing multiple pixels and tags, we highly recommend installing Bread & Butter using Google Tag Manager (GTM). Lightspeed eCom has a native GTM integration, making this the cleanest and most reliable way to deploy your Lead Intelligence Engine.
Installation Instructions
Step 1: Locate your Tracking Script
- Log in to your Bread & Butter Dashboard.
- Navigate to Settings > App & Domains.
- Add the sub domain you want to merge with your primary domain account.
- Locate the JavaScript tracking snippet provided on this page. Your unique App ID is already dynamically included in the code.
- Click to copy the entire snippet.
Step 2: Add the Script to Google Tag Manager
- Log in to your Google Tag Manager account and open the workspace container you use for your Lightspeed store.
- Go to Tags and click New.
- Name your tag "Bread & Butter Tracking".
- Click Tag Configuration and select Custom HTML.
- Paste the Bread & Butter tracking snippet you copied in Step 1 into the HTML box.
- Click Triggering and select Page View (All Pages).
- Click Save and then Submit / Publish your GTM workspace to push the changes live.
- Copy your GTM Container ID (formatted as
GTM-XXXXXX) located at the top of your GTM dashboard.
Step 3: Connect Google Tag Manager to Lightspeed(If your GTM container is already actively linked to your Lightspeed store, you can skip this step).
- Log in to your Lightspeed eCom Back Office as an administrator.
- In the left-hand menu, navigate to Settings.
- Under the Website Settings column, click on Web Statistics.
- Select Google Tag Manager.
- Enable the integration by turning the toggle ON, paste your GTM Container ID into the designated field, and click Save.
(Note: Don't use GTM? You can alternatively paste the Bread & Butter script directly into Lightspeed by going to Settings > Web Extras > Custom JavaScript).
Step 4: Verify Your Installation and Map Events
- Open your Lightspeed online store (
store.yourcourse.com) in a new incognito browser window. - Click through a few products or categories.
- Navigate back to your Bread & Butter Dashboard to verify that your active session and page views are being recorded.
- Optional but Recommended: Go to the User Events tab in your Bread & Butter dashboard and manually map key e-commerce clicks (like "Add to Cart" or "Checkout") to fuel your LeadScore AI with high-intent retail data.
Troubleshooting
- No Data in the Bread & Butter dashboard? Ensure that your store's specific URL (e.g.,
store.yourwebsite.com) is whitelisted under Settings > App & Domains in Bread & Butter to allow tracking on the subdomain. - GTM not firing? Verify that you actually hit "Submit/Publish" on your GTM container after saving the Custom HTML tag, and ensure the integration toggle is switched to ON inside your Lightspeed Web Statistics settings.
