Stop managing two inventories. One plugin connects Lightspeed and WooCommerce.
Sell in your store, your online stock drops. Take an order online, Lightspeed records it. Your inventory stays accurate in both places, without you touching either system.
Built and supported by Kestrel, the WooCommerce POS integration team.
Built for Lightspeed Retail POS (X-Series).
Over 2,000 active WooCommerce stores run on this integration
You made a sale at the register, but forgot to update WooCommerce. Now a customer ordered something you no longer have.
You changed a price in Lightspeed. Then you opened WooCommerce and changed it there too. You’ve done this more times than you can count.
Your Lightspeed catalog and your WooCommerce catalog have been drifting apart for months. Getting them back in sync means hours of work.
Setup takes minutes
Connect once. After that, the plugin handles it.
Authorize the connection
One OAuth flow in your plugin settings links your Lightspeed account to WooCommerce.
Import your catalog
Pull your products from Lightspeed. SKUs, prices, descriptions, and stock levels land in WooCommerce exactly as configured.
Sync runs automatically
In-store sales and online orders both update the shared inventory count. No manual step required.
What the plugin handles
Three problems this integration solves from day one.
Real-time stock, both directions
Webhooks push inventory changes between Lightspeed and WooCommerce near-instantly. A sale in-store doesn’t wait for a scheduled sync to reach your website. An online order updates Lightspeed near-instantly via the same webhook mechanism.
Webhook-driven updates
Lightspeed pushes changes to WooCommerce in real time. No polling delay.
Order sync to Lightspeed
Online orders record in Lightspeed automatically when status changes to Processing or Completed.
Simple and variable products
Works for simple products and Lightspeed matrix products. Each variation syncs with its own SKU and stock level.
Stock checked at add-to-cart
Before a customer adds an item to their cart, the plugin queries Lightspeed for live stock. A second check runs before checkout. Oversells blocked at two points, even if background sync is behind.
One catalog, one place to manage it
Import your Lightspeed product library into WooCommerce with a single click. From that point on, changes you make in Lightspeed (name edits, price updates, new SKUs) push to WooCommerce automatically. You manage products in one system.
One-click product import
Pull your full catalog from Lightspeed via the Importer. No CSV, no copy-paste.
Full field sync
SKU, title, short description, long description, price, stock, categories, and images. All configurable.
Manual or automatic sync
Choose automatic sync on a schedule or trigger it manually. You control when it runs.
Exactly what syncs, in each direction
Lightspeed โ WooCommerce
- Product name
- SKU (system, custom, or manufacturer โ your choice)
- Regular price and sale price
- Stock quantity
- Short and long description
- Attributes and matrix variations
- Product images
- Categories (configurable: replace, append, or ignore)
WooCommerce โ Lightspeed
- Inventory changes from online orders
- Inventory changes from cancellations and refunds
- Order recorded as sale in Lightspeed
- Customer record synced with order
Product data (name, price, description) is managed in Lightspeed and syncs one-way to WooCommerce. Lightspeed is the source of truth for your catalog.
Built for Lightspeed Retail POS (X-Series)
The plugin is built specifically for Lightspeed Retail POS (X-Series). Customer sync, order sync with tax rates, activity logging, and outlet register selection are all X-Series native features you get out of the box.
Full support โ products, inventory, customers, orders
Not compatible. Separate product.

Known limitations
These are the current boundaries of what the plugin does. Worth knowing before you buy.
- One Lightspeed store per WooCommerce site. If you have multiple Lightspeed locations, you choose one to sync with WooCommerce. Multi-store sync isn’t currently supported. Contact support if this is a requirement โ it’s on the roadmap.
- WooCommerce backorders are not supported. When a product hits zero stock, it goes out of stock in WooCommerce. Backorder allowances set in WooCommerce will be overridden by the sync.
- Lightspeed is the source of truth for product data. Product names, prices, and descriptions are managed in Lightspeed and pushed to WooCommerce. Changes made directly in WooCommerce to those fields will be overwritten on the next sync.
