# Getting Started

## Before you start

* IDC must be installed in your NetSuite account. See [Install IDC](https://github.com/In8Sync2/IDC/blob/main/core/installation/README.md).
* You need integration admin access in NetSuite.
* You need admin access to your Lightspeed X-Series account.
* Your Lightspeed X-Series instance must be running version compatible with the integration.

## What to have ready

To connect Lightspeed X-Series to IDC, you'll need to gather credentials from your Lightspeed account. These are one-time setup items — once you enter them, IDC keeps the connection active in the background.

| What you need  | Where to find it                                                                                               |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Client ID      | Lightspeed X-Series Admin Account Settings > API Integrations section                                          |
| Client Secret  | Lightspeed X-Series Admin Account Settings > API Integrations section                                          |
| Refresh Token  | Generated during OAuth authorization with Lightspeed                                                           |
| Personal Token | Lightspeed X-Series Admin Account Settings > API Integrations section (used as an alternative to OAuth tokens) |

**Note:** You can use either the OAuth-based tokens (Client ID, Client Secret, and Refresh Token) or the Personal Token. Most setups use the Personal Token for simplicity. You'll provide your choice during the connection step.

## Next step

Once you have your credentials ready, go to [Install and Connect](/idc/lightspeed-x-series/prerequisites/connection.md).
