Integration Setup
Step 1
- Ensure that you have a WooCommerce test environment which will be used to simulate a live connection during the testing stage – What is a test environment and why do I need one to set up my Retail POS (X-Series)-WooCommerce Integration?
- It is also recommended that you create a Lightspeed trial account to connect the WooCommerce test environment with. Please select Retail in that linked page which will ask a few questions about your business before taking you to the trial setup page
Step 2
- Once you have a Lightspeed trial account and a WooCommerce test environment, you may go ahead and integrate the two platforms by following the three articles below:
- List of things to check before integrating WooCommerce with Retail POS (X-Series)
- The WooCommerce Integration – How does it work, and how do I set it up?
- Setting up the Retail POS (X-Series) and WooCommerce integration (Video)
Step 3
- The next step of testing is to copy the WooCommerce products to Lightspeed Retail POS. Please follow the “Pulling all WooCommerce products into Retail POS” section in this article Setting up products when using the WooCommerce integration
- This article What product information syncs with WooCommerce? Lists down which information fields sync between the 2 platforms. Editing those qualifying fields in Lightspeed will sync to WooCommerce
*It is recommended that the changes you make to the staging WooCommerce environment while testing are also made in your live WooCommerce instance as well to ensure successful integration with Lightspeed X-Series
Pre-integration Testing and Requirements
Once you have successfully integrated your test WooCommerce environment with Lightspeed X-Series, it is highly recommended to test the integration by going through the articles below:

Important Information
If your customer is working with an Implementation Consultant, it’s important to note that we will only start the Lightspeed onboarding processes with the customer once the integration has been confirmed as tested and working in the staging environments along with the changes updated in the live WooCommerce store.
Our implementation process has a maximum timeframe of 30 days available to the customer from the date of Kick off Call and this should be factored in when starting the WooCommerce testing process.
