- Item has a SKU in LightSpeed matching WooCommerce SKU

- Item marked in LightSpeed for List Item on Sale on Web Store with ‘webstore’ tag.
Note: The time stamp for creating products in LightSpeed is different from the time stamp to update inventory only in LightSpeed. So, running your Send Products Action after a sale in your POS will not update inventory. You will need to RUN your Update Inventory Levels Action in this case.
To TEST or trigger Inventory Time Stamps, just change inventory for each SKU.
