A Lightspeed Sale Reaches WooCommerce in Seconds
Both platforms tell QuickSync about sales as they happen. Here’s what that looks like when a customer buys something at the Lightspeed register.
Lightspeed · order #447114:02:11Lightspeed41sold hereWooCommerce41+0.3sCorrecting WooCommerce takes under a second once we have the sale. The order is in your packing list with the Lightspeed order number on it.
The other direction is the same: a sale on WooCommerce reaches Lightspeed just as quickly, because WooCommerce pushes it to us the moment it happens too.
A Few Things to Know Before You Connect
WooCommerce and Lightspeed have a few rules that can affect your data. Check the key differences in SKUs, tracking, listings, and sync behavior before you turn everything on.
Sync speed

Check Your SKUs Before They Reach Lightspeed
It’s worth knowing how WooCommerce and Lightspeed handle SKUs differently.
WooCommerce supports much longer SKUs than Lightspeed. A quick check before syncing can help prevent shortened SKUs from causing matching issues later.
- WooCommerce limit: WooCommerce can store SKUs up to 300 characters, while Lightspeed allows up to 64.
- Long SKUs: If a WooCommerce SKU is longer than 64 characters, it can be shortened when sent to Lightspeed.
- Matching issues: A shortened SKU may no longer match the original product, which can cause inventory to stop matching correctly.
- Quick check: Most stores stay well below 64 characters. Sort your catalog by SKU length and check the longest ones first.
- Fix before syncing: Shorten any SKUs that exceed the Lightspeed limit before connecting your stores.
- Sync speed: SKU length does not affect update speed. WooCommerce and Lightspeed both report sales as they happen, so QuickSync does not rely on scheduled checks to update stock.
QuickSync keeps inventory updates moving between WooCommerce and Lightspeed in real time, but checking your SKUs first helps keep product matching accurate from the start.
Lightspeed Records the Sale, Not the Tracking Number
Lightspeed handles fulfillment differently, so tracking information works differently for orders placed through the register.
Lightspeed can mark an order as fulfilled, but it does not store the carrier or tracking number. QuickSync handles the tracking information separately, so you can still access it when needed.
- Marked as shipped: When an order is fulfilled in Lightspeed, QuickSync can mark the sale as shipped.
- Tracking stays in QuickSync: Lightspeed does not have a place to store the carrier or tracking number, so QuickSync keeps that information available.
- Lightspeed orders: If an order starts in Lightspeed and is shipped later, the tracking number remains available in QuickSync.
- WooCommerce orders: If the order starts in WooCommerce, its tracking number also remains available on the WooCommerce order.
- Why it matters: This is useful when your team needs to find tracking details for an order that was placed in person through Lightspeed.
QuickSync keeps the tracking information available even though Lightspeed does not store it, so your team can still find the details after an in-store order has shipped.

Questions people ask about this pair
How quickly does Lightspeed update after something sells on WooCommerce?
Under a second in normal conditions. WooCommerce tells QuickSync about the sale as soon as it happens, and QuickSync updates Lightspeed straight away. The same works in reverse when something sells through Lightspeed.
Why is my WooCommerce SKU not matching in Lightspeed?
The SKU may be longer than Lightspeed’s 64-character limit. WooCommerce allows up to 300 characters, so a long SKU can be shortened when it reaches Lightspeed. Keeping your SKUs within 64 characters helps them match correctly.
Do I have to re-list my WooCommerce products on Lightspeed?
No. We match your existing WooCommerce and Lightspeed listings by SKU first, then by title, and hand you a short list of whatever we could not match. You can also copy a listing from one side to the other if you want it in both places; that step always waits for you.
Does the tracking number go back to both shops?
WooCommerce can keep the tracking number on the order. Lightspeed can mark the order as shipped but does not store the tracking number. QuickSync keeps that tracking information available.
What happens if a buyer cancels or I refund them on WooCommerce or Lightspeed?
The stock goes back. A cancellation or a refund puts the item back into your count and we send the corrected number to both WooCommerce and Lightspeed.
Does QuickSync sync product prices between WooCommerce and Lightspeed?
Yes. QuickSync can sync product prices between WooCommerce and Lightspeed. You can also apply pricing rules when sending prices, giving you more control when the same product needs different prices across stores.
Can I choose which WooCommerce products sync to Lightspeed?
Yes. QuickSync lets you control which products you want to sync. You can choose the products that should move between WooCommerce and Lightspeed instead of sending your entire catalog.
What happens if a product exists in one store but not the other?
QuickSync can create or update listings between WooCommerce and Lightspeed. When a product is not found in the other store, you can review the match and decide how you want to handle it.
