Disable old connections from your Lightspeed shop

When you switch to Server-Side Tagging with your Lightspeed shop, you have placed a tagging pixel on your site via three different scripts that you add in Web Extras. The instructions below on the screenshot should look familiar to you:

Disconnect Google Analytics & Meta Ads

Within your Lightspeed backend, go to your settings

Open the Web Statistics



Here you can see if you still have an old/third-party connection present by checking for checkmarks.





To disable these connections, click on the relevant platform and disable this connection.

Check custom scripts

Within your Lightspeed backend, go to your settings

Open the Web Extras



Check here under ‘CUSTOM JS’, ‘TRACKING’ & ‘CUSTOM HEAD CODE’ whether there are any scripts from marketing or analytics platforms that will send duplicate events in addition to your server-side tagging setup. Below we give some examples of scripts that could cause problems.

Be careful not to delete your tagging pixel codes

Examples of scripts that cause problems:
