Creating a new product online is the easier first step. 

Note: Once the online order is created in the POS, the POS will then trigger a two way inventory sync for each of the lline items in the online order.  

Actions needed for Orders include Flat Rate TaxOr, Line Item tax for complex tax rates.Customer Merge Action (Sync first in list)

Note: the Action for find matching orders in Woocommerce and update the order status is confirmation the order made it to LightSpeed and will CONFIRM inventory was also updated. Both Actions are needed to process orders.

Follow the instructions on the Orders Action configuration and the ‘?’ question marks will help guide you in your setup. When a WooCommerce order is downloaded into your POS your inventory will also update with all the line items in your WooCommerce order.

1. In order to download an order into your POS, Kosmos eSync needs to key in on the order status field in WooCommerce. For example, ‘Processing’ is the most common status for a successful order transaction within WooCommerce. You can also configure your order Action ‘Woocommerce send orders to LightSpeed to download an order in any status you choose. Kosmos eSync will download up to 10 of your WooCommerce orders at a time.

See Example WooCommerce Order Configuration:

2. Configure how your order will reach your Lightspeed POS. You will need to assign a register, location, payment type, system-id for shipping, create a tax product, etc. We also suggest setting up a virtual employee (Online Orders) to assist with locating online orders and improved reporting.

See Example LightSpeed Order Configuration:

3. Match your customer Order Merge Action with your Order Action.
4. Next configure your 3rd order Action called ‘Lightspeed find matching orders in Woocommerce and update the order status’ that will automatically update the status on WooCommerce once the order has been downloaded. This Action is called LightSpeed find matching orders in Woocommerce and update the order status, etc.
