Show Lightspeed Inventory Information on shopify

ByThomaslInDevelopmentOnMarch 22, 2019

With our new app to display inventory levels per shopify location on the frontend, we got a request to connect the shopify app with a lightspeed retail account .So that the customer could display inventory information from the lightpseed retail accounts, in stead of shopify. This is interesting for brick & mortar stores, who use lightspeed retail for physical locations, and have an online store running on the shopify platform. The only thing needed in order for this to work is that the skus on shopify and lightspeed match.

The interface has been developed, and even with 40+ store locations it works like a charm.

Large databreach, how to minimize online vulnerabilities, and improve responsetime

ByThomaslInDevelopmentOnOctober 30, 2017

Last week I found a data breach in a large companies website, exposing over 2 million customer records (name, address, email, phone number)
It’s always a though choice, do I call it in and risk getting sued, or leave it? Since this was quite a big leak, which I more or less stumbled upon (think in the lines of ‘this looks odd, what happens if I try and change this’) , I just went ahead and stated my intensions very clearly in my messages, and hoped they would see it would benefit them to use my report, and fix the problem as soon as possible.

Frans Boone Store Realtime UPS Rates & Pickup points

ByThomaslInDevelopmentOnMay 13, 2015

Frans Boone wanted to offer his clients to choose between normal ups shipping rates & free shipping to ups pickup points near the client.
In order to do this I created a custom shopify app for Frans Boone, which uses the different ups api’s to get the pickup points near the customer & normal shipping rates, and return it to the shopify checkout process, where the client can choose the desired option.
