Keep WooCommerce and Lightspeed updated automatically.
Today you go through your WordPress admin into WooCommerce, open every order separately and copy the lines across. After each plugin or theme update you check all over again that nothing dropped out. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in WooCommerce lands in Lightspeed by itself, in the shape Lightspeed expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

What travels across the link
Everything this connector moves between WooCommerce and Lightspeed, and how often.
-
Orders
to Lightspeed automaticallyEvery order becomes an order in Lightspeed with line items, matched on EAN or SKU, so you handle it all from Lightspeed without retyping.
-
Inventory
to Lightspeed automaticallyA sale updates stock in Lightspeed, so you never sell the same last unit on two channels at once.
What each side expects
WooCommerce and Lightspeed do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.
Lightspeed
A shop platform needs to point each line at a product, usually via SKU or barcode, and track stock per product.

Common questions
Can you connect WooCommerce to Lightspeed?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of WooCommerce and Lightspeed, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
What does the connector match products on in Lightspeed?
On EAN barcode or SKU. Those have to line up on both sides; anything that does not match automatically you map once by hand, and it is remembered after that.
Does the connector touch my existing Lightspeed orders?
No. Schakel only creates new orders in Lightspeed and leaves your existing ones alone.
What happens on a refund or partial cancellation in WooCommerce?
It comes across, so Lightspeed matches what was actually settled and you correct nothing by hand.
What does connecting WooCommerce and Lightspeed cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does WooCommerce sync with Lightspeed?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
What if WooCommerce or Lightspeed is briefly unavailable?
Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.
How do I connect WooCommerce to Lightspeed?
You give Schakel access to WooCommerce and Lightspeed once and pick what should travel. We set it up together with you, so no technical knowledge is needed, and after that it runs by itself.
Missing something you need?
